Chandni Chowk To China
Akshay Kumar strikes again. The Kung Fu Hustle styletrailer
is the the funniest looking in a long time, and Nikhil Advani's far too
polished a director to let his scripts get completely asinine. Not that
it matters, when its a masala film promising the spectacular and Kumar — the man who doesn't seem capable to planting a mainstream foot wrong — is in the centre of things in Chandni Chowk To China
Delhi-6
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra became one of the most respected directors in the industry with his apathy-shattering Rang De Basanti
a couple of years ago, and we’ve had to wait three years to see what he
does next. This one is a take on a seamy, colourful, mad part of Delhi
called Delhi-6, and stars Abhishek Bachchan opposite Sonam Kapoor. We're expecting texture and metaphor, and the current trailer has our curiosity piqued. Bring it on.
My Name Is Khan
Karan Johar seems to completely have dropped the K, and the subject matter for his next SRK starrer is intriguing, to say the least:
SRK plays
a man targetted at an airport because of his last name and his
religion, and that discrimination gives rise to many a question. Then
again, the film's been written by Shibani Bhatija, who wrote Fanna and
Kidnap, so maybe we shouldn’t go in expecting answers.
Kaminay
Vishal Bhardwaj leaves Shakespeare out of the mix this time with this magnificently named project, starring Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka . Remember, this is the man who showed us just how capable Saif and Kareena were, so it's wise to prepare for fireworks. The film's story is still closely guarded, but all we know is that Tare Zameen Par writer Amole Gupte plays the villain in the film. Whatever, man. We're sold on Bhardwaj and that fantastic title.
Kambakkht Ishq
Akshay Kumar and Kareena star in this massive budget film about an Indian stuntman who becomes a sensation across Hollywood. Kambakht ishq
has several prominent Hollywood players, including Sylvester Stallone,
Carmen Electra, Bondgirl Denise Richards and Superman star Brandon
Routh. It’s quite a coup by Bollywood standards, and one hopes for an
entertaining evening of big-screen proportions.
Imtiaz Ali's next film
After making Socha Na Tha and Jab We Met on a decidedly comedic note, director Imtiaz Ali has chosen to tread
the relatively unpopulated romantic-drama waters for his next film, one
starring Saif and Deepika. The film is currently jetting around the world and shooting everywhere, and we're just curious to see what Imtiaz does next.
Alladin
Sujoy Ghosh's film has been in production for the longest time. Ritesh Deshmukh stars as Alladin while Big Btakes on the role of the genie in this rather zany take on the
original. The film is a special effects spectacular and by now, we just
want to see what in the world has taken this long to make.
Wake Up Sid
Director Ayaan Mukherji makes his debut with this film that promises
to be interesting simply because of its unconventional pairing Ranbir .
pinup boy-to-be and current heart-throb of the masses, cast opposite
indie queen Konkona Sen Sharma? We’re waiting to see how these two very
different genre-representatives get along, and the title sounds fun too.
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
Katrina stars opposite Ranbir in
this film by Raj Kumar Santoshi. That's right, the socially aware
blockbuster-maker is back with a film that sounds pretty darned
unusual. The casting is a bit of a coup, the kind of casting that
leaves these kids out to fend for themselves without being able to fall
back on a massive banner or Akshay, Salman however, does make an appearance.
