Dharma Productions’ Good News postponed yet again

One of the leading moviemaking banners Dharma Productions, headed by filmmaker Karan Johar, has decided to defer the release of their upcoming film Good News from 6th September to 27th December.

Well, this is not the first time when the release date of the hotly anticipated movie has been reshuffled. Good News, which marks the directorial debut of Raj Mehta, was earlier scheduled to hit the marquee in the second quarter of 2019. However, its release was later pushed to September.


The movie is headlined by Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. The film reunites Akshay with Kareena after a huge gap of a decade. They were last seen together in Kambakkht Ishq, which released in 2009.

Diljit Dosanjh, who is doing his first movie with Dharma Productions, took to Instagram to share the new release date. His caption read: “Bringing in the New Year with ‘Good News’ for you. Delivery date: 27th December 2019”.

Now Good News will roll into theatres one week after superstar Salman Khan’s much-awaited Dabangg 3.

The horror revolution: How Bollywood turned ghosts, goddesses, and gore into gold

Bollywood horror glows up with vampires, goddesses, and dance numbers that drip blood, not glitter

Highlights:

  • Bollywood horror has gone mainstream: bigger budgets, big stars, family audiences.
  • Roots: Mahal (1949) to the Ramsay Brothers' cult run of the 1970s–80s.
  • Modern hits pair folklore with comedy, as seen in Tumbbad, Stree, Munjya, and now Thamma & Maa.
  • Technical leap: prosthetics and CGI have "gone to the next level"; budgets now reach mainstream scale.

Remember when Bollywood horror meant creaky doors in a haunted haveli and a woman in a white sari? Forget it. We are in an era where a ghost's main ambition is not revenge, but finding a wife, where ancient mythology collides with suburban kitchens, and a mother's love can literally summon a goddess. The genre has exploded into the mainstream, and clearly everyone is buying a ticket.
