DEEPAVALI is an exciting occasion for Indian filmmakers as it is a good time to release their movies, taking advantage of the festive holiday. This year, the Festival of Lights falls on a Thursday, which means most individuals will likely be on leave the next day (Friday), allowing for an extended weekend. This also means most families would have time to catch up with the latest movies showing.
Every Deepavali, new movies get releases with some films making it big while some suffer losses.
