Patiala House, Guzaarish pitted against Harry Potter

Friday, 19th November, is slowly emerging the most important date, as far as film releases are concerned. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish and Nikhil Advani's Patiala House have locked 19th November as the release date. Now comes the news that one more film will make it on this date: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Harry Potter movies have fared exceptionally well in the Indian market and in fact, have overtaken the business of several big-budget Hindi films in the past. The new installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, will not only be released simultaneously in India, but besides English, will be dubbed in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions too. If that's not enough, the new Harry Potter movie will be released in 3D and Imax too.

Meanwhile, Siddharth Roy Kapur of UTV has quashed rumours vis-a-vis UTV having second thoughts on bringing Guzaarish on the scheduled date. "Sanjay Leela Bhansali is ready with the final cut of Guzaarish. 19th November is final," Siddharth tells me.
