The October 2nd holiday is one of the major release dates but it is proving to be unlucky as all major releases on this date are not performing as they should be. TALVAR may turn out be one of the rare winners which have tried to take benefit of this holiday but this is not a big film. BANG BANG released last year which was a under performer is also one of better releases on this day.

The last major winner which was released on this holiday, we have to go years back to 1998 when the Salman Khan starrer BANDHAN scored all over India. Since then its been mediocre success at best with TALVAR looking to change if it keeps on going for the next few weeks but expected winners have not done much. Below is a list of films released on this date in the past few years.

2015
Singh Is Bliing - Poor Trend
Talvar - Going Well

2014 (Not just one holiday but five in a row)
Bang Bang - Decent but under performer
Haider - Mediocre (Lucky that actor and director were on profit sharing; so big losses were avoided)

2013
Besharam - Poor

2012
No Release (OMG - Oh My God released a week earlier)

2011
No Release

2010
Anjaana Anjaani - Mediocre

2009
Do Knot Disturb - Poor
Wake Up Sid - Mediocre (Saved due to low costs)
