As you all know Sooryavanshi starring Akshay Kumar was first movie which was announced to on the Diwali 2020 weekend by the filmmakers few months back. Now theatres are open but with only 50% occupancy and budget of Sooryavanshi is very high so producers were not sure if audience will come to watch this movie so they postponed this movie for next year.
After that another Akshay kumar starrer Laxmmi Bomb scheduled to premiere on Disney Plus Hotstar VIP. It is one of the most anticipated movie of the year. Within few days three more movies and a web series announced for Diwali weekend. Audiences are enjoying web series and movies on OTT platforms after the lock down so it will interesting to see if they will go to theatre to watch movie on big screen as well.

3. Ludo
Release date: 12th Nov 2020 on Netflix

Details: What happens when life is a literal roll of the dice? Ludo is about the butterfly effect and how, despite all the chaos and crowd of the world, all our lives are inextricably connected. Ludo is about four different stories tied together by unavoidable circumstances and coincidences far beyond our understanding, all of which make up for a crazy caper of a film.

4. Chhalaang
Release date: 13th Nov 2020 on Amazon Prime Video
Cast: Rajkummar Rao, Nushrat Barucha, Saurabh Shukla and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub
Director: Hansal Mehta
Details: Chhalaang is a hilarious, yet inspirational journey of a PT Master from a semi government funded school in Northern India. Montu (Rajkummar Rao) is a typical PT Master for whom it’s just a job. When circumstances put everything that Montu cares for at stake, including Neelu (Nushrratt Bharuccha) who he loves, Montu is forced to do what he has never done – Teach. Through Montu’s journey, Chhalaang humorously addresses the value of Sports Education in school curriculum.
Producer Ajay Devgn shared the release update on his official twitter account.

5. Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari
Release date: 13th Nov 2020
Cast: Manoj Bajpayee, Diljit Dosanjh, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Annu Kapoor, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Vijay Raaz, Seema Pahwa, Manoj Pahwa, Neeraj Sood, Neha Pendse, Karishma Tannn and Abhishek Banerjee
Director: Abhishek Sharma
Details: Set in the 1990s, the film is a social satire. Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) is playing a wedding detective, who does a background check of grooms. In 90’s it was a norm as there were no mobile phone or social media and people had to deal with everything physically. This gives rise to comical situations. Trailer or teaser is not out now so will update once it comes.
Kripya apni कुंडली jaanch lein.💥

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : I am very excited for this clash and for the first time I have so many choices but I am looking forward for Aashram Chapter 2 for obvious reasons that I have watched first season and it was very good. In movies I liked the trailer of Chhalaang so it will be first priority.
It will be quadruple bonanza for audiences on this Diwali as they will have different content to watch and they can deicide which film they will watch first. The only good part is there is one day gap if anyone interested can watch all of them. Overall most excited week for Bollywood after lock down is going to be this Diwali weekend.
