The release of Omerta and High Jack has been postponed to a further date, April 20 will now see Abhay Deol’s Nanu Ki Janu and Ishaan Khatter’s Beyond the Clouds at the theatres. Helmed by acclaimed Iranian director Majid Majidi, Beyond the Clouds also marks the Bollywood debut for south actor Malavika Mohanan. The film follows the story of Amir and how his illegal drug peddling lands up his estranged sister Tara in jail.

Oscar-nominated Majid Majidi has built a reputation for his cinema around the world, he is going to cater to a very niche kind of audience in India. Ishaan’s upcoming film Dhadak with Janhvi Kapoor will be in theatres soon.

Film trade analyst Girish Johar predicts the opening collection of Beyond the Clouds to land around Rs 50 lakhs. He further added, “Majid Majidi’s films are known to be content-driven and realistic dramas. Similarly, Beyond the Clouds has also been able to create a buzz only in the minds of the multiplex audiences. It does not have the kind of wider appeal that a mainstream Bollywood film enjoys and is expected to work well in specific sections only.”

The number of screens acquired by Beyond the Clouds is reportedly somewhere around 500-700 screens, the movie’s performance can improve with a good word-of-mouth promotion in the coming days. Varun Dhawan and Shoojit Sircar’s October is said to continue a good run at the box office while Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 2 is also expected to do well at the theatres.
