What's the story
Aamir Khan's recent release Laal Singh Chaddha is finally set to have its television premiere months after its theatrical release.
The film will be aired on Colors TV at 1 pm on December 25.
As per reports, its promo was recently aired on the television channel, revealing that Laal Singh Chaddha will get its worldwide TV premiere on Christmas Day.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Released on August 11, Laal Singh Chaddha received mixed reviews from critics, and the film also failed to make a mark at the box office.
The box office failure of the movie can be majorly attributed to the #BoycottBollywood trend.
The film was, however, well received upon its OTT release on Netflix, and its television premiere is also expected to get a similar response.
