Bollywood's Eid connection: Blockbuster movies released on the festival

Bollywood's A-list actors and filmmakers have always aimed to release their movies on festival weekends. Many stars have managed to slot their films for an Eid, Diwali, or Christmas release and, consequently, received an overwhelming response by attracting crowds in larger numbers.
