YOU ASKED IT | 12 September, 2025

Is it true that Aabeer Gulaal has been released in Overseas circuit this week?

– Yes, it is true that the producers of AABEER GULAAL have released it all over today, except in India. The presence of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in the male lead may be objected to after the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam and, therefore, the producers did not want to release it in India this week. But they are definitely contemplating releasing it after two weeks in India too. Incidentally, the film could not be released in Pakistan too. It may be mentioned here that Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor have given wonderful performances in the love story which boasts of lovely music. 

Why did Mirai not take even an average start in Hindi today?

– The awareness about the film’s release was minimal. The odd title also played a part in the weak opening. 

How is the Diwali week looking this year for the box-office?

 – The usual excitement may not be seen this Diwali as there is no clash one normally expects at the box-office. After all, THAMA and EK DEEWANE KI DEEWANIYAT are both not big-budget extravaganzas. They also don’t give the vibe of festival releases. Wish, some big film would release on the occasion of the festival of lights.
