As New Year 2022 is riding on high with new hopes and dreams, the filmmakers are also betting big on their films.

Veteran Bollywood Astrologer cum Business Transformation Expert Hirav Shah says, “Considering so many movies have been derailed from their original release date due to the ongoing pandemic, the start of 2022 has been quite disappointing for cinemaphiles. However, with tons of exciting Bollywood movies lined up for release, the movie-buffs are in for an entertaining ride.

HIrav adds, “The days of a classic masala rom-com ensuring box office success are long gone. With OTT establishing itself as a major player in recent times, even small-budget films are finding platforms and audiences. Instead of the usual song-and-dance routine, the viewers now look for realistic narratives, a carefully picked cast, and good direction.

Hirav Shah brings us the list of fresh pairs to entertain the audience with their on-screen chemistry in 2022.
