Barring Tadap and Antim The Final Truth,  most of the Bollywood films released after Sooryavanshi, including Bunty Aur Babli2,  Satyameva Jayate 2 and now Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui have have proved to be  disappointing fares at the box office.

The film trade has pinned a lot of hope on the upcoming films like 83 , Pushpa, Spider-Man and Jersey, which are scheduled to release in cinemas in the coming weeks.

While Pushpa is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 17, 83 will hit the cinema screens on Christmas while Jersey releases on December 31.
