I love watching movies! I am constantly hooked on to my various streaming platforms to watch the latest ones online. And I make sure to catch at least one over the weekend. But I often lose track of the best ones and miss out on some really good names, which is why I decided to make a complete list of Hollywood movies of 2019. While it is hard to miss Bollywood movies in a city like Delhi, where everyone is a die-hard fan, the English movies often take a miss.
So in order to keep a track of all the upcoming Hollywood movie releases in India, I have made the ultimate calendar. Complete with the release dates and the streaming platforms, so you never skip a Friday release!
