Helmed by director Meghna Gulzar, Sam Bahadur is a biographical war drama depicting the life of India's first field marshal, Sam Manekshaw. The film features Vicky Kaushal portraying Manekshaw, with Sanya Malhotra as his wife Silloo and Fatima Sana Shaikh as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Shaikh and Malhotra earlier worked in the blockbuster hit Dangal, headlined by Aamir Khan.
'Joram' (December 8)
After earning acclaim at international film festivals, Joram, headlined by Manoj Bajpayee, is heading toward a theatrical release on December 8. Devashish Makhija is in the director's chair. The actor earlier said, "I am thrilled to be a part of Joram. The film has really pushed boundaries in all aspects. I am thankful to Zee and Devashish for believing in me."
'Dunki' (December 21)
Dunki will be the fitting end to Khan's momentous year, which has been embellished by Pathaan in January and Jawan in September. Marking his debut collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki features Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu, and Boman Irani. Reportedly, the drama is Khan's lowest-budgeted film in six years.

'Salaar' (December 22)
The film, directed by Prashanth Neel, is slated for a December 22 release, clashing with Dunki. Initially scheduled for a theatrical release on September 28, pending work on the Prabhas starrer necessitated a delay, and now it will try out its luck on the aforementioned date. Its trailer will be out on Friday at 7:19pm. Shruti Haasan and Prithviraj Sukumaran co-star.
