Bollywood: Whenever a new film hits the box office, it usually releases on a Friday. In Bollywood, films are released on Friday, whereas in South, films are always released on Thursday. You may also know this but may not know the reason behind it. Let us tell you today how it started.
In Hindi cinema, films are released on Friday. The main reason for this is that Friday is the last working day of the week. Friday is followed by Saturday and Sunday which are days off for most people. The film has been released on Friday so that people can watch the film with their family and friends during the holidays. If the film is released on Friday then it also gets the benefit of weekend collection and the chances of the film being successful also increases.
However, in the early days of films, there was no such calculation behind releasing a film on a Friday. But after the release of Mughal-e-Azam in 1960, films started releasing mostly on Fridays. Mughal-e-Azam film was released on 5th August and Friday. The film proved to be a superhit. After this the producers mostly chose Friday to release the film.
