Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday's Pati Patni Aur Woh trailer was released this week and it quickly became a talking point. While the trailer was liked by the audience in general, it was called out for its insensitive remark on marital rape.
Whereas, Arjun Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt turned a few pages of history as they play Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau and his rival Ahmad Shah Abdali, respectively, for Ashutosh Gowariker's Panipat.
Also, Vanessa Hudgens is back in a Netflix comedy film, The Knight Before Christmas.
Covering Bollywood, Hollywood and streaming sites, here are top movie highlights of the week, trailer wise.
Pati Patni Aur Woh
