Coronavirus has created havoc all over the world, talking about India the deadly pandemic has spread its claws all over the country, hence resulting in a nationwide lockdown.

Speaking to the tabloid, trade analyst Atul Mohan was quoted saying, “Diwali is six months down the line, hopefully, normalcy will be restored by then. It was the original festive window before Bollywood started releasing films over Eid, Christmas and Republic Day weekends. There are enough theatres to release three big movies.”
Not just Atul Mohan in fact distributor Raj Bansal also said that Diwali is the safest bet for big movies. However, he warned that producers should not consider releasing more than two films as they might eat into each other's profits.
