बॉलीवुड के लिए भी आज बहुत शुभ खबर आई है. इस दिवाली पर बॉलीवुड को बड़ा शुभ लाभ हो सकता है. कुछ ऐसा हुआ है कि बॉक्स ऑफिस बंपर कमाई की उम्मीदों से रौशन हो गया है और इसी खुशी में बॉलीवुड पर लग चुका है 500 करोड़ दांव.
The stage is set for an august November-December at the movies with a bunch of big-ticket Bollywood films rushing to book a release date by the year end, soon after Maharashtra government’s decision to permit theatres to reopen from October 22. Significant films like the Akshay Kumar-starrer Sooryavanshi (Diwali weekend), Ranveer Singh’s cricket drama ’83 (December 25), Bunty Aur Babli 2 (Nov 19) and Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey (December 31) along with Hollywood’s No Time to Die (Sept 30), Spiderman – No Way Home (Dec 17) and Matrix 4 (Dec 22) are expected to draw crowds back to the theatres after April 2021. Calling it a big respite for pandemic-ravaged cinemas, Elara Capital’s SVP and research analyst Karan Taurani estimated that at least Rs 500 crore is at stake for Bollywood at least in November and December with Maharashtra reopening theatres.
