Industry biggies prefer this time of the year for releasing films, since people are on a splurging spree during the festive season. <br /><br />Diwali hasn''t lost any of its sheen this year either. Only, instead of the year''s biggest banners, this year''s Diwali week will have an unprecedented nine films hitting the screens.<br /><br />Most of them are either dated like <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Ek Hindustani</span>, <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Raja Bhaiyya</span> or <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Aanch</span> or really small-time like <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Love in Nepal</span> and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Patth</span>. <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Raja Bhaiyya</span>, starring Govinda and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Aanch</span> with Nana Patekar in the lead, has been slotted for release several times earlier this year. <br /><br /><span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Love in Nepal</span>, directed by Rajat Mukherjee (<span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Road</span>) has singer Sonu Nigam and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Patth</span> has Sharad Kapoor playing the lead role.<br /><br /><a href="articleshow?artid=231869">Read More</a> >></div> </div>
