Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Kedarnath, War And Other Films Confirmed To Re-Release As Theatres Re-Open; See List

Bollywood is gearing up for the re-opening of cinema halls across the country in government’s Unlock phase 5. If you are wondering which movies you can watch in theatres close to you from October 15 onwards then we finally have an answer.

While no new releases are on the horizon this weekend, Bollywood has decided to bring back prominent releases from recent times to lure audiences to theatres. With cinema owners already on the back foot with just 50 percent occupancy permitted in current times it is important that their selection of films be impeccable for audiences to be excited about them.

Among the confirmed tiles hitting the screens from October 15 are Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff’s War, Ayushmann Khurrana’s Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput’s Kedarnath, Taapsee Pannu’s Thappad Ajay Devgn’s Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, and Aditya Roy Kapur's Malang. Apart from these more titles can be expected to announced soon.

Films that skipped theatrical releases during the lockdown including Vidya Balan’s Shakuntala Devi, Sushant Singh Rajput’s Dil Bechara, Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt’s Sadak 2, Vidyut Jamwal’s Khuda Haafiz and Janhvi Kapoor’s Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl might also have a chance at theatrical releases though trade analyst Taran Adarsh states that some multiplexes have decided against these films.

While the re-releases will be a test for theatres big films like 83 and Sooryavanshi have already locked in dates for theatrical releases. Other films are also now looking theatrical releases instead of heading the OTT way.
