Pushpa 2’s success in reviving North India’s single-screen theaters was short-lived, as upcoming films show limited potential. Varun Dhawan’s Baby John failed to sustain momentum. January 2025 releases, including Sonu Sood’s Fateh and Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency, lack appeal. Shahid Kapoor’s Deva and Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force might draw audiences. Content remains key, challenging both single screens and multiplexes.
