Shoojit Sircar’s Gulabo Sitabo was one of the most awaited films of the year. The movie revolves around a tenant and a landlord who are caught up in a game of besting each other. Each manages to attract other members to their team. However, these members have an agenda of their own. The movie released on the OTT platform on June 12, 2020. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Amitabh Bachchan, it is one of the most trending content on the internet.
