With the latest Disney Plus Hotstar’s Multiplex announcement almost all the biggies in Bollywood for the current year are done. Only a few handfuls are remaining, and they have now gone for the last resort.
The three biggies which didn’t commit to any OTT platform (so far) are Sooryavanshi, 83 and Radhe. While the update regarding the last of the three is still not known, the makers of the first two have made an official announcement.
Sooryavanshi has locked a Diwali 2020 release whereas 83 will be arriving for Christmas. These are a last resort of sorts as there is still no clarity regarding the opening of cinemas in India. The current pandemic situation is also alarming, with many states opting for fresh lockdown.
Under these circumstances, it is a hopeful announcement regarding the theatrical release. The confusion here raises in the form of whether to opt for digital or theatrical release. The makers have given the latter a chance.
Sooryavanshi and 83 are no doubt big-screen spectacles that need to be enjoyed in the cinemas. The former is an action entertainer starring Akshay Kumar and featuring a couple of other popular stars in special appearances. Rohit Shetty directs the movie.
83 is from Kabir Khan featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead. It recounts the historical tale of Indian cricket team’s victory at 1983 World Cup as underdogs. Let’s see how things pan out regarding these biggies. It seems amply clear that the makers are willing to wait out until situation returns to normalcy.
