Madhur Bhandarkar’s Calendar Girls is surely not a film we would like to remember, but there’s a dialogue in the movie that was quite meaningful. The dialogue was, ‘Filmein toh kayi banti hai, lekin film asal mein woh hoti hai joh release hoti hai.’

Well, this dialogue reminds us of many movies that have been made or it has been in the making from the past many years, but it is yet to see the light of the day.

So, today let’s look at the list of films that have faced multiple delays in the past few years.
