Impact Of Corona Virus On Bollywood : After No Time To Die Release Postponed, Sooryavvanshi, Coolie No. 1 And ’83 Will Do The Same?

Corona Virus is surely spreading its coarse and filthy wings slowly albeit steadily in our country as well and many businesses have already started feeling the heat. Yes, that’ right.

And the scare of the virus is equally palpable in the movie industry too. Yesterday we had written about how the James Bond film No Time To Die’s release has been postponed. The film was slated for a 6^th March release and now the date has been shifted to November. The makers of the film have no issues deferring the release date, they don’t want to compromise on the business.

And now given this crisis can you even imagine what will be Bollywood’s fate given the fact that there are so many big releases lined up one after the other?

Many films that release in India also have a good market overseas so does that mean the footfalls in the theatre are going to drop drastically due to this issue?

Now the schools in Gurgaon are also shut, some institutes are even planning to postpone their exams.

According to some trade experts in Italy cinemas are closing down. He has been quoted in a Spotboye report as saying, “Well, cinemas are closing down, at least in Italy. Add China to this of course. Aur bhi countries mein bahut uthal-puthal ho rahi hai. As for here, you might have some postponements in the offing."

Therefore, the overseas market of Bollywood films is going to see a drastic fall given the Coronavirus scare. He has been further quoted as saying, “ I can't say if 83, Sooryavanshi (March 24) or any other biggie will shift their current dates. At least 83 (April 10) is still not so near, so is Coolie No 1 (May 1). But there is constant panic."

According to the owner of a theatre called Gaiety Galaxy in Mumbai, “I am releasing Baaghi 3 in both Gaiety and Galaxy. I pray that everything goes well. Mumbai may toh abhi tak coronavirus nahin aata hai."We at Desimartini.com can just hope for the best. Stay tuned to more updates on this one only on Desimartini.com
