While Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan dominated the last 20 to 25 days at the box office, it’s time to move ahead now. Time to look at the new releases of this weekend. Hopes are high from Kartik Aaryan’s Shezada but it seems that it will tank at the box office. The other major theatrical release this weekend is Marvel’s Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantumania.
