As such this year, small independent films scored convincingly over some big budget star-studded films. Finally, small towns and cities stories could find their overdue silver screens.
While many of much hyped films disappointed, this year’s Eid release ‘Tubelight’ was perhaps a biggest disappointment. Salman Khan’s fans wondered. While many were busy brushing off Shahrukh khan, some feared if this Khan too would look in some other directions - may be multi-starrers.
But Salman now has a reason to smile. 2017 closes on a very high note as for as his film ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ is concerned. It is churning money at the box office.

As figures suggest, the film has crossed 200 crores mark in its first week and is second to Bahubali 2- The conclusion for first week collection.

The film which stole heart and made people to think about a few of the social issues successfully was ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ And of course Bhumi, the lead actress sealed her presence in Bollywood.
It is interesting to note while ‘Golmal Again’ scored at box office yet many were disappointed too.
As 2017 gave space to thinking filmmakers for their thematic and creative brilliance, we witnessed films like ‘Newton’, ‘Lipstick under my Burkha, Gurgaon, Anaarkali of Aarah, Mukti Bhawan and many more of such kind.
