Traditionally a coveted window for Bollywood's marquee releases, the Diwali holiday has long been associated with blockbuster spectacles and star-studded cinematic offerings.

I’m a big movie buff and every year, I have a ritual to go to the theatres with my family and watch a film on Diwali. We have so much fun together and it makes me so happy to see scores of people thronging to the theatres to watch these big releases.”
