This Diwali release flopped; theaters demanded refunds

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.
