5 films to look forward to in the last month of 2020

Murtuza Iqbal

2020 has not been a great year for everyone including the Bollywood film industry. Many films that were supposed to hit the big screens got a digital release, and even after getting an OTT release, the films didn’t get a great response.


Now, in the last month of the year, December, Bollywood is all set to offer us some interesting films. And not just on OTT platforms, we will get to see movies on the big screen as well. So, let’s look at the list of five films to look forward to in December this year…

Durgamati

The trailer of Durgamati was released a few days ago, and it was quite impressive. The Bhumi Pednekar starrer will be getting a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video on 11th December 2020. It’s a remake of Anushka Shetty starrer Bhaagamathie.

Indoo Ki Jawani

While on OTT we have Durgamati on 11th December, on the same day Kiara Advani starrer Indoo KI Jawani is slated to hit the big screens. The trailer and songs of Indoo Ki Jawani have already created a good buzz. But it will be interesting to see if the moviegoers will finally head towards a theatre to watch the film or not.

Torbaaz

11th December is surely damn crowded as not one or two but three films are releasing on the same day. Apart from Durgamati and Indoo Ki Jawani, even Sanjay Dutt starrer Torbaaz is releasing on 11th December 2020. The film has been in pipeline for the past couple of years, and now, it will finally release on Netflix.

Coolie No. 1

The trailer of Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan starrer Coolie No. 1 was released a few days ago, and it has received a mixed response. The movie is a remake of the 1995 release Coolie No. 1 which starred Govinda and Karisma Kapoor. It is slated to release on Amazon Prime Video on 25th December 2020.

Shakeela

Last on the list we have Shakeela. The makers of Richa Chadha recently announced that they are all set to release the film in theatres on Christmas this year. Well, the poster is quite interesting and we are surely looking forward to watch this biopic.

With a foundation in Indian classical and Carnatic music, and a career launched by a serendipitous meeting with Shankar Mahadevan, Anusha’s rise to prominence has been a blend of talent, timing, and tenacity.
