2021 has been a not so stellar year for Bollywood. While audiences have seen big releases like Shershaah, Sooryavanshi and Atrangi Re, there were quite a few reports as well. Jersey was postponed only to get a new release date just days before its release due to the COVID scare. All in all, this bittersweet year has not been as fruitful for Bollywood as one might have expected. But with the new year, there are new hopes and the situation seems a bit more dynamic for the fans and their favorite stars, if we are to believe the words of the experts that Omicron is not a lethal variant.
