‘Fukrey Returns’
'Fukrey Returns' which was initially supposed to release on December 15, will now be releasing on December 8. The makers decided to change the release date of the film as 'Padmavati' got postponed. Releasing the film on December 8 gives them a good two week run at the box office as the next big film releasing is only 'Tiger Zinda Hai' that makes it to the theatres on December 22.
‘Tera Intezaar’
Arbaaz Khan and Sunny Leone'-starrer 'Tera Intezaar' was supposed to release on November 24 but now it has been postponed to December 1.
‘Monsoon Shooutout’
Just like 'Fukrey Returns', 'Monsoon Shootout' was supposed to release on December 15 but now it will release on December 8. This helps the film to mint money at the box office as it will have two week of competition-free run at the box office.
‘Firangi’
Thanks to the change in the release date of 'Padmavati', Kapil Sharma could get the desired release date for his film 'Firangi'. This Kapil Sharma-starrer has been pushed to December 1 giving it a good one week run at the box office.
‘Ajji’
A short yet a dark film 'Ajji' is slated to release on November 24. Even though the makers have not shifted the release date of the film, a shift in the release date of 'Padmavati' has generated good hopes for a small-budget film like this. Good reviews and a market with less competition can do wonders for this film.
‘Kadvi Hawa’
Just like 'Ajji', 'Kadvi Hawa' too can be benefitted with the change in the release date of 'Padmavati'. It is slated to release on November 24.
It is unfortunate that a filmmaker like Sanjay Leela Bhansali had to bend down to situations and change the release date of his ambitious project ‘Padmavati’. Following the project, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor-starrer ‘Padmavati’ will now not release on December 1. But well, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s loss seems to have turned profitable for quite a few other films. (Also Read: Padmavati: Shatrughan Sinha questions SRK, Aamir and Big B’s silence on the issue)
