This Gandhi Jayanti, the only thing not peaceful about October 2nd is your movie choices! The holiday falls on a Thursday this year, and instead of a calm long weekend, Bollywood is giving fans a crowded box office showdown with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Kantara: Chapter 1, and Ikkis all dropping on the same day. Movie halls across India are preparing for a rush—honestly, we’re excited to see it happen.

First up is Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, starring Varun Dhawan as the classic romantic hero. This Dharma film offers a lively mix of love, comedy, and culture. Varun brings his charm to a film that feels like a tribute to Bollywood’s golden rom-com days. If you want feel-good fun with family, this is your pick.

Next is Kantara: Chapter 1, a highly anticipated prequel to the 2022 hit. Rishab Shetty returns to explore the roots of the forest spirit that captivated everyone. Expect intense rituals, shocking moments, and that raw energy that made the first film a big success. For fans of folklore, fiery devotion, and powerful stories, this will hit the spot.

On the other side is Ikkis, a gritty war film directed by Sriram Raghavan. It stars Dharmendra and features Agastya Nanda as Arun Khetarpal, the youngest soldier to receive the Param Vir Chakra. The movie is full of patriotism, sacrifice, and great storytelling. It’s likely to hit emotional chords and might even get awards buzz before the year ends.

What makes this clash special is how different the films are. You’ve got a shiny rom-com, a mythic thriller, and a real-life war story—all premiering at once. It’s a mix of genres, and there’s something for everyone.

Whether you’re team romantic comedy, team mythological thriller, or team war hero, one thing’s for sure—October 2, 2025, isn’t just about honoring Gandhi. It’s also about picking your favorite at the box office. So grab your popcorn and maybe plan a long weekend. Bollywood’s about to give us a holiday lineup we won’t forget.
