Animal vs. Sam Bahadur - December 1
The Sandeep Reddy Vanga film Animal is one of the most anticipated films of this year. Starring Ranbir Kapoor in the leading role, the violent drama film has got fans impatient as it has been delayed since August this year. Animal also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandana, and Triptii Dimri in pivotal roles.
Meghna Gulzar is the director of Sam Bahadur, the other movie opening that day. Based on the heroic life of India's first field marshal, Sam Manekshaw, in which Vicky Kaushal plays the titular role, the film also features Sanya Malhotra as his onscreen wife and Fatima Sana Shaikh as the former Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.

The other film releasing on the same day is Sriram Raghavan's suspense thriller, Merry Christmas. The exciting film marks the first outing of Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles and will simultaneously release in Hindi and Tamil.
Dunki vs Salaar - December 22
Shah Rukh Khan, who started the year with a bang with Pathaan, was all set to end the year with the same with Dunki. The Rajkumar Hirani film has been believed to be a sure-shot winner, as the filmmaker has only shattered box office records with his films. Moreover, SRK has emerged as the box office king this year, and their first collaboration cannot be expected to be anything less than fireworks.
However, the announcement of Salaar's release on the same day has brought a new wave of discussion among cinegoers. Prabhas plays the lead role in the movie, which Prashanth Neel of KGF fame directed. The filmmaker's previous film was a mammoth at the box office, and fans are expecting the same with Salaar. The film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran as the main antagonist and Shruti Haasan as the female lead.
