Eid ul-Fitr 2015 is finally here. The day that marks the end of Ramadan month is likely to fall on 17 July in most countries and the next day in some nations like India and Pakistan. Day of celebration may vary from country to country based new moon sighting, but festive spirit is in the air with Muslims around the world already having started preparing for the occasion.
To make Eid celebrations even more special, many Indian film-makers make movies specially for this festive season every year, and this year is no exception. In what could be seen as Eid Mubarak 2015 special, "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor, is hitting the theatres this Friday. Some big regional and Hollywood movies are also set for release this week.
