Diwali is around the corner. Just like every year, festive cheer is high, and people are gearing up to celebrate the festival with fervour. Diwali is traditionally a great time for the Indian film industry, as audiences flock to theatres to watch buzzy films. Film folks have their hopes high from Diwali 2022 as the Indian film industry gets ready to release its most hyped films in the theatres.
Diwali 2022 has a set of high profile films readying for release. The top Diwali releases this year span a variety of genres and top stars of each film industry. There’s a mouthwatering clash between Bollywood stars Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn; a Malayalam thriller starring superstar Mohanlal; Sivakarthikeyan‘s Tamil masala entertainer, a much-awaited Hollywood superhero flick and more.
But how do we know which upcoming Diwali release has the most buzz and hype among viewers? Enter, ticket booking website, BookMyShow.
BookMyShow displays the number of ‘Interests’ each film has garnered on the platform. Audiences show their preferences for upcoming films by clicking the “interested” button for a film on the upcoming films section in BookMyShow. The most popular films generate the most ‘Interests’. Since all of this happens in real time, it helps us understand which are the most buzzing movies coming up in Indian cinema.
A cursory look on BookMyShow at the buzziest Diwali films this year throws a massive surprise! Coz no Indian film has managed to snare the top spot of Diwali releases with the most buzz. The sole Hollywood release has grabbed the peak position, and that too by a HUGE margin!
Not just that, both Bollywood films releasing this Diwali, starring Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, are lagging behind a film from the South, which is sitting cosily on the Number 2 position on the list of buzziest films this Diwali.
