After a somewhat slow April, May is gearing up to be a busy month.
With five major releases spanning genres, industries, and star power, we’ll get to see one of the most high-stakes box office days of the year.
If you’re a fan of superstar vehicles, horror comedies, or genre-driven dramas, fret not, there’s something for everyone in this lot.
‘Raid 2’

Following the immense success of Raid, Ajay Devgn is returning as Amay Patnaik in Raid 2.

‘The Bhootnii’
#2
Sanjay Dutt in a horror comedy? Count us in.
With Dutt’s ghost hunter, Mouni Roy, Sunny Singh, and Palak Tiwari lead this madcap haunted-house-style entertainer.
