"Producers don''t have an option. After Diwali, there''s Ramzaan when Muslims don''t watch films. That''s why the rush," says trade analyst Indu Mirani.<br /><br />Among the films the industry is looking forward to the Urmila Matondkar-starrer <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Pinjar</span>, which has been acquired by 20th Century Fox for worldwide release. The Partition saga recently opened the international film festival in New Delhi and found favour with the audience. <br /><br />"It''s an amazing film. I told (director) Dr Chandra Prakash Dwivedi not to release it during Diwali, since there are too many films around the time" Adarsh says. <br /><br />The week is also crucial for star siblings. Kajol''s sister Tanisha makes her Bollywood debut with <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Sssshhh...</span>, a murder mystery which analysts are looking forward to. "The promos look good, it''s a thriller and has a very young feel to it," Adarsh says. <br /><br />Amisha Patel''s brother Ashmit -- will debut with Vikram Bhatt''s <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Inteha </span>the same week. "The film with newcomers may not be able to sustain unless it''s really brilliant," Mirani says. <br /><br />Also in the line-up is director N Chandra''s <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Kagaar</span>, a hard-hitting portrayal of the police force. The film is generating positive buzz for its positive depiction of the police force, but Mirani says a realistic, dark film is ill-timed for Diwali, since people want to have fun. <br /><br />With nine films around the corner, that should not be a problem.</div> </div>
