Madhur Bhandarkar’s Calendar Girls is surely not a film we would like to remember, but there’s a dialogue in the movie that was quite meaningful. The dialogue was, ‘Filmein toh kayi banti hai, lekin film asal mein woh hoti hai joh release hoti hai.’
Well, this dialogue reminds us of many movies that have been made or it has been in the making from the past many years, but it is yet to see the light of the day.
So, today let’s look at the list of films that have faced multiple delays in the past few years.
When we talk about movies that have faced multiple delays, Brahmastra has to be at the top of the list. The film was supposed to release on 15th August 2019. Later, the makers postponed it to Christmas 2019. Then it was announced that the movie will release in Summer 2020, and a few months ago, the makers announced that their film will hit the screens on 4th December 2020. However, due to the pandemic, the shooting of the film has been stalled, and now, it is said that the movie will release in June 2021.
Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar starring Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra was slated to release in 2018. But the movie was pushed multiple times and finally, the makers decided to release it in March this year. However, once again due to the pandemic, the release date of the film has been postponed.
Shoebite

Shoojit Sircar and Amitabh Bachchan have teamed up for films like Piku and Gulabo Sitabo. But before these films, the actor-director duo had collaborated for a movie titled Shoebite. The movie is completed but is yet to hit the big screens. A couple of years ago, Big B had also requested the producers of the film to release the movie.
Katrina Kaif’s sister Isabelle Kaif was all set to make her Bollywood debut opposite Sooraj Pancholi in a film titled Time To Dance. The shooting of the film kickstarted in June 2018, but well, till now we haven’t heard anything about the film’s release. Also, now Isabelle will make her debut with Kwatha opposite Salman Khan’s brother-in-law Aayush Sharma.
Desi Magic
Ameesha Patel fans have been waiting for her film Desi Magic since 2015. The shooting of the film started in 2014, and till now, the makers have announced the release date multiple times. Even a teaser of the film was released five years ago. In 2018, Ameesha had stated that the film will release soon, and well it has not yet seen the light of the day.
That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.
Neetu Kapoor moves in with them.
Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.
So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.

So, what is the place actually like?
With an estimated value of £24 million, (Rs 250 crore) it is six floors stacked up on that prized Pali Hill plot. That video leak a few months back really blew up. Alia was furious, and rightly so, someone just filmed the place and posted on social media. We all saw a raw, unauthorized peek because of it. The home seems to have tiered gardens on the terrace, like a modern take on a classic Mumbai bungalow.

Why does this Pali Hill move matter so much?
That land is Kapoor history. Tearing down the original house was a gamble. Neetu ji, Ranbir, Alia, and their daughter Raha, all under one roof now. Four generations in one building. On top of that, it's during Diwali. It is about lighting lamps in a new space that is actually full of old memories. They also sent a note to the media politely asking for privacy around their new Pali Hill home.

What is happening on the work front?
As if moving house is not chaotic enough, Alia is still riding the high from her Filmfare win for Jigra. Her sixth. She put up a post calling it a project close to her heart, and you can tell she is not just using a press release line. Now the industry chatter is all about their next big one. They are teaming up again for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, with Vicky Kaushal in the mix too.
