Tiger 3, The Marvels and 6 other films releasing in November in theatres

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer 'Tiger 3' will see a Diwali release on November 12. Emraan Hashmi has a cameo.

After the dhamaka that Jawan brought in September to theatres, October was a little Thanda with not many movies managing to set the cash registers ringing. That might change in the coming month with some big-ticket motion pictures set to release. Here’s a glimpse of the Bollywood and Hollywood offerings in theatres in November:

In 2021, the businessman, also Shilpa Shetty’s husband, had got embroiled in a porn case and was arrested and spent some time in Arthur Road jail. The movie delves into his life and his days behind the bars.
