Release calendar: festival week brings six big releases on 23 October

Six films will open on 23 October. Studios usually avoid more than three big openings on one date, so expect screen-sharing.

• Kaalchakra (Telugu)
• Veer Ki Haveli (Hindi)
• Spice Route (English)
• Aadi Katha (Tamil)
• Sandhya Raag (Bengali)
• Hamare Mohalle Mein (Hindi)

Studios usually avoid festival week, but the long weekend has pushed six films into the slot. Expect 2,000-plus screens for the biggest titles and shared screens elsewhere.

Advance booking opens a week before release.
