Indian Independence Day, celebrated on August 15, is not only an important day for the country but also an important date in the Indian film industry. Every year, filmmakers try to release their films to capitalize on the patriotic fervor and the extended holiday weekend. In 2024, the tradition continues with an exciting line-up of films hitting the big screen that will offer action, drama and entertainment. From the blockbuster sequel Stree to Thangalaan, this year’s Independence Day promises to be a cinematic treat for audiences across the country.

Khel Khel Mein is a much-awaited comedy-drama remake of Paolo Genovese’s 2016 Italian film Perfect Strangers. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Ammy Virk, Taapsee Pannu, Vaani Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Aditya Seal and Pragya Jaiswal in lead roles. Chitrangada Singh will also make a special appearance in the film.

Originally scheduled for September 6, the film’s release has been pushed to August 15, which coincides with India’s Independence Day. The story revolves around seven friends who reunite after a long time and decide to share all their phone texts, emails and messages for one day. As secrets unfold, their relationships are tested, leading to complications both humorous and dramatic.

Even before its theatrical debut, the film has generated a lot of buzz, with reports confirming that Netflix has acquired digital streaming rights. The film is expected to be available on the platform approximately two months after its theatrical release.
