Filmmakers often reserve the Diwali weekend for major releases due to its audience pull. This year, ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Bhool Bulaiyaa 3’ will clash. In 2018, Aamir Khan’s high-budget ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ flopped despite big names like Amitabh Bachchan. The film grossed ₹151 crore in India, far less than needed, leading to theatre owners seeking refunds.
