A commerce source told Bollywood Hungama, “Rohit Shetty has been toying with the idea of bringing Golmaal 5 for many months in January. He realized that by January 8, most of the audiences would have consumed the December biggies like King, Avengers: Doomsday, etc. and would be ready to watch his film. Secondly, all films of Rohit Shetty have done extraordinary business in Gujarat. The state will have a huge holiday of Makar Sankranti on Thursday, January 14. January 15 will also be a holiday of sorts. Hence, the makers of Golmaal 5 expect a huge boost in the second week, courtesy Gujarat.”
