Brad
Pitt's
Fury
will
splash
across
Indian
screens
Oct
31,
two
weeks
after
its
international
release
Oct
17.
The
decision
has
been
kept
taking
in
mind
the
Diwali
festivities
and
the
much-awaited
release
of
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
Happy
New
Year.
Understanding
the
Diwali
season
is
family
time
in
India,
PVR
Pictures,
the
distributors
of
Fury
in
India
will
release
the
film
once
the
festivities
have
wound
down
and
die-hard
fans
of
Shah
Rukh
have
at
least
seen
Happy
New
Year
once
in
the
theaters.
Deepak
Sharma,
chief
operating
officer,
PVR
Pictures,
is
confident
Fury
will
do
well
in
India.
"However,
since
the
worldwide
release
is
Oct
17
and
that's
peak
family
time
in
India,
given
the
festivities
of
Diwali,
we
took
a
conscious
call
to
push
the
release.
"Also,
'Happy
New
Year'
is
coming
out
too,
which
will
definitely
be
a
priority
watch
for
the
audience
as
most
people
wish
to
during
this
period,
watch
movies
with
their
families.
We
didn't
want
to
dilute
the
release
of
our
film," Sharma
said
in
a
statement.
Fury
is
a
war
drama,
which
also
stars
Shia
Labeouf,
while
Happy
New
Year
is
a
heist
film
also
starring
Deepika
Padukone.
With
no
film
competing
with
Shahrukh's
film,
it
will
get
two
whole
weeks
to
recover
its
making
cost
as
well
as
make
commendable
profits.
