On one hand, ‘Thama’, which shows the story of blood-drinking vampires, is creating a stir, while on the other hand, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Diwaniyat’, the story of a lover who sacrifices his life for love, is succeeding in attracting the audience towards the big screen.

Meanwhile, the havoc of ‘Kantara Chapter 1’, which has been creating a huge storm at the box office for the last 23 days, is still not over. The storm of earnings of the film is blowing in such a way that the fear of ‘Sarkate Ka Terror’ and ‘Chudail’ also seems to be ending.
