The
Republic
Day
weekend
has
suddenly
caught
the
fancy
of
film
people.
And
the
Republic
Day
weekend
in
2009
is
being
eyed
for
more
reasons
than
one.
This
would
be
a
4-day
weekend
(26th
January
happens
to
be
a
Monday).
Also,
the
general
feeling
is
that
post
Christmas
festivities
and
New
Year
celebrations,
the
common
man
is
back
to
work
for
the
next
couple
of
weeks
and
awaits
the
next
big
break
during
the
Republic
Day
holiday.
Therefore,
the
business
shows
a
jump
during
this
weekend.
Right
now,
two
movies
have
been
confirmed
for
the
Republic
Day
weekend:
Anil
Kapoor's
Shortkut
and
Mukesh
Bhatt's
Raaz
-
The
Mystery
Continues.
Right
now,
Rakyesh
Omprakash
Mehra's
Delli
6
is
also
confirmed
for
January
23
(Rang
De
Basanti
was
also
released
during
this
weekend),
but
if
the
film
goes
to
Berlin
Film
Festival,
only
then
will
UTV
shift
its
release
to
February.
And
if
at
all
Delli
6
is
pushed
to
February,
UTV
has
plans
of
bringing
Main
Aur
Mrs.
Khanna
(now
confirmed
for
February
13)
on
January
23.
So,
in
any
case,
there
will
be
three
biggies
ready
to
explode
on
the
big
screen
on
January
23.
