It’s been over eight months since a new movie hit the theatres in India. With the COVID-induced lockdown and safety concerns around the pandemic pushing the fate of theatres into uncertainty, several filmmakers took the digital route, opting to release their films on OTT platforms. However, with the recent lockdown relaxations allowing theatres to reopen doors for the public, in a restricted manner, a few films have queued up to decorate cinema halls in the coming few weeks. From Christopher Nolan’s Tenet to DC’s Wonder Woman 1984, here are 5 movies that be releasing in theatres in India this December.
