The theatres may have opened in India but cinema lovers are still reluctant to go.
Manoj Bajypayee-Diljit Dosanjh starrer ‘Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari’ was the first new film to hit the theatres after lockdown on Diwali, but it still recorded pitiful footfall.
While most films like Varun Dhawan-Sara Ali Khan starrer ‘Coolie No.1’, Bhumi Pednekar’s ‘Durgamati: The Myth’, and Sanjay Dutt’s ‘Torbaaz’ have stuck to the OTT route, Kiara Advani starrer ‘Indoo Ki Jawani’ has decided to opt for a theatrical release.
Moreover, the film production giant T-series has also decided to back the cause of sustaining theatres. As per a Peeping Moon report, T-Series is set to release around 7 films between December and February 2021.
Reportedly these films are small-budget dramas that have been shot and ready for a while.
List Of Upcoming Films To Be Released In Theatres By T-Series
1) Indoo Ki Jawaani
T-Series will first release Indoo Ki Jawani on December 11 in the cinemas. Starring Kiara Advani and Aditya Seal in the lead, the movie is a coming-of-age comedy on misadventures with dating apps.
2) SLB’s ‘Tuesdays And Fridays’
T-series is then planning on rolling out the theatrical release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s rom-com ‘Tuesdays and Fridays’ in the 1st week of January 2021.
It will mark the debut of actress Poonam Dhillon’s son Anmol Thakeria with Jhataleka Malhotra (first runner-up in Femina Miss India 2014). The story of Tuesdays And Fridays will revolve around two millennials who date each other but get to meet each other only on Tuesdays and Fridays, while they are free to date other people for the rest of the week.
While Thakeria will be essaying the role of an author, Malhotra will be seen as a lawyer.
3) Saina Nehwal Biopic
T-Series will likely release the Saina Nehwal biopic in theatres by January 2021. Directed by Amol Gupte, Parineeti Chopra will be assuming the role of the popular badminton player in the movie. It also stars Paresh Rawal and Manav Kaul.
Parineeti was given the title role after she replaced Shraddha Kapoor.
4) Subhash Kapoor’s Madam Chief Minister
T-Series will also release Subhash Kapoor’s Madam Chief Minister in theatres. This political drama film stars Richa Chaddha and Manav Kaul. It is said to be loosely based on the life of Uttar Pradesh’s former CM, Mayawati.
5) Sooraj Pancholi’s ‘Time To Dance’
T-series is also bankrolling the Sooraj Pancholi starrer ‘Time To Dance’. Katrina Kaif’s sister Isabelle Kaif will be making her mainstream Bollywood debut with this dance-based film as well. Though it was put on the hold earlier, the makers have apparently come out with a decent final cut and will be releasing it in January.
6) Hurdang
T-series has ‘Hurdang’ planned for its February 2021 releases. Starring Vicky Kaushal’s brother Sunny Kaushal, Nushrat Bharucha and Vijay Varma, Hurdang is a love story set in the backdrop of the student agitation of 1990 in Allahabad.

T-series has another release lined up for February 2021. Directed by Amin Haji, Koi Jaane Na is a psychological thriller starring Kunal Kapoor and Amyra Dastur.
