Friday is the day that all movie buffs look forward to, in order to catch the latest movies on the first day itself. It is highly unlikely happen this week though, because 38 films are releasing in India this week. These statistics are taken by a private organisation and the films that are taken into account are from a variety of languages such as English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Chattisgarhi, Urdu, Bengali, Assamese and Punjabi.

Out of these, Tamil cinema has the highest releases this week, as Ghajinikanth, Maniyar Kudumbam, Arali, Enga Kaatula Mazhai, Kaatu Paya Sir Indha Kaali, Kadikara Manithargal, Kadal Kuthiraigal, Nadodi Kanavu and Uppu Puli Karam are releasing. 

In the other languages, Telugu has 7 releases, Kannada has 5, Bengali and Hindi have 4, whille 2 Malayalam and English films are hitting the theatres. 1 each from the Marathi, Punjabi, Chattisgarhi, Assamese and Urdu film industry are releasing this week. Seems to be tough competition at the box office.
