Golmaal Again, 2.0 and Secret Superstar are highly-talked about and most-awaited Indian movies of 2017. The clash among the three films is surely going to create a scarcity of theatres and also split the viewers among them. The clash is sure to cause losses to the makers of these movies, if they do not take necessary action to avoid this mega clash at the box office.
