As Christmas is just around the corner and people are already in a festive mood, we are here to present to you some Bollywood movies which released during Christmas time, making our festival merrier than ever
To release a Bollywood movie on a particular date sometimes becomes a task for the makers of the film. Over the years, Bollywood movies love to depict festive celebrations with great grandeur on the big screen, be it Holi, Diwali, or Ganesh Chaturthi, Bollywood ensures to give us all the right ingredients to make the festive platter a happening. But that’s not all! Bollywood movies also celebrate Christmas with similar zest. While the festival is an extravaganza, Bollywood movies releasing around the festival is just cherry on the top. That’s their way of giving us the Christmas gift.
However, for the longest time we have seen Salman Khan owned Eid, Shah Rukh Khan owned Diwali and Aamir Khan named Christmas after him. But releasing the film during those days is the not the only thing we are going to talk about here, their box-office collections and the verdict is what makes our Christmas merrier than ever.
