Although
we're
several
months
away
from
Diwali,
several
dream
merchants
have
already
set
their
eyes
on
the
festive
week.
In
fact,
a
number
of
films
have
already
been
confirmed
for
release
in
the
festive
week
this
year.
Sometime
back,
we
had
told
you
that
Subhash
Ghai's
Yuvraaj,
Ashtavinayak
-
Rohit
Shetty's
Golmaal
Returns
and
Yash
Raj's
Roadside
Romeo
[an
animation
film
produced
in
association
with
Walt
Disney]
have
already
locked
the
date
[October
24].
There's
talk
that
Karan
Johar
is
also
bringing
Dostana
[Abhishek,
Priyanka,
John]
on
this
date.
Now
here's
a
piping
hot
development
pertaining
to
the
Diwali
week.
Nikhil
Advani's
Chandni
Chowk
To
China,
which
marks
the
foray
of
Hollywood
giant
Warner
Bros.
in
Hindi
films,
is
also
confirmed
for
Diwali.
Not
on
October
24,
but
on
October
29.
Not
on
a
Friday,
but
on
a
Wednesday.
Reason
being,
people
would
be
busy
with
the
festivities
and
visiting
each
other
all
through
the
festive
week.
The
occupancy
at
movieplexes,
therefore,
might
take
a
hit
during
certain
days.
The
business
would
only
escalate
once
the
festivities
and
festival-related
ceremonies
get
over.
Hence,
it's
October
29
for
Chandni
Chowk
To
China.
