Let's see what the festive box office finally brings us.
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has hit half a century...
'I have been in love with a career on the big screen, validated by box office numbers.' 'I never expected the love back to be instantaneous.'
'For me, the real victory is when people buy a ticket, sit in a theatre, and connect with the story.'
'Whenever offers came my way, it always felt like people in Hindi cinema hadn't really seen my Punjabi work.'
Whatever the reviews may say, the makers of the Diwali release, Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat, seemed happy to organise a special screening for their friends from the industry.
There will be a lot of excitement in the theatres in December but OTT entertainment looks good too.
Then there is Love And War featuring Alia, Ranbir, Vicky...
'It's heartening to see that the festive energy is being driven not only by star-led blockbusters but also by fresh, content-rich films.'
The trend indicates that The Taj Story will have a better Monday than Friday while Baahubali: The Epic will see a Monday drop.

A look at the interesting movie releases lined up for November.

Anything is better than Mastiii 4, sighs Mayur Sanap.
