While most of these films (especially Bollywood movies) are expected to release in theatres, a few of them might be available on OTTs
2020 was a year when most of the films had to either be pushed or release digitally due to the COVID-19 scare. However, 2021 has a list of exciting films, some of which have been awaited since a long time - point in case, 'Takht' and 'No Time To Die'.
Aamir Khan had announced his upcoming movie 'Laal Singh Chaddha' on his birthday two years back. Ever since, people have been waiting to see how the remark of the Hollywood classic 'Forrest Gump' has turned out.
Director Aanand L Rai, who has delivered movies like 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan' in the past, is now all set to bring Sara Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar and Dhanush together in a story that promises to be colourful (the literal meaning of Atrangi Re - eight-coloured). Interestingly the three actors attract different type of audiences and it would be interesting to see what their work together looks like.
'No Time To Die' would mark the exit for modern-age James Bond aka Daniel Craig. He would go for a retirement after working on 'No Time To Die', thus not playing 007 character again, at least anytime soon.

Filmmaker Aanand L Rai is back, this time with Sara Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar and Dhanush in a colourful tale that is 'Atrangi Re'. The movie is scheduled for Valentine's Day (February 14) release.

Akshay Kumar's 'BellBottom' was the first film to begin an outdoor shooting after COVID-19 lockdown came to an ease. The movie, also starring Huma Qureshi and Lara Dutta Bhupati, has a retro vibe to it, much like the name suggests. It is scheduled to release on April 2.
3. 'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali'
