MUMBAI: Anees Bazmee’s Welcome is releasing today in the UK and UAE. This is a corollary of a last-minute decision made by the distributors, Studio 18 and exhibitors, to coincide the release of the film with Eid.

Select Cine World sites in London, Bradford and Birmingham will open Welcome later this evening, as will the independent cinemas in London.

In sharp contrast, Welcome will release this afternoon across full shows in Dubai, RAK, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Sharjah, Bahrain and other centres in the UAE.
