After the weakening of the second wave of Corona, the process of release of Hindi films has started across the country. 

But the film industry believes that due to the closure of cinema halls in Maharashtra, the business of his films is not being done as expected by the film industry. 

The films 'Bell Bottom', 'Chehre' and 'Thalaivi' released during this period could not be released in Maharashtra due to this. 

The October release of mega-budget film 'RRR' was postponed due to the closure of theaters in Maharashtra. 

Apart from this, many big budget films like 'Sooryavanshi', '83', 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', 'Prithviraj', 'Shamshera', 'Bunty Aur Babli 2' and 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar' are in the line of release even after completion
