Hindi cinema of late seems to be in trouble as Bollywood’s big-ticket releases such as Samrat Prithviraj, Shamshera, Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan have failed to impress the audience.
Nevertheless, a motley bunch of films starring names such as Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn, Varun Dhawan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon are lined up for release in the coming months.
However, the million-dollar question looming over the furrowed brows of distributors is: Will these movies ensure the return of ‘achche din’ for Bollywood?
The first big film, which is slated to hit the screens is Ayan Mukerji’s trilogy Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva starring newlywed couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt along with Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna. The film is scheduled to hit the theatres on September 9.
Brahmastra is a three-part film franchise and the beginning of India’s first original universe, the Astraverse. It is a new original cinematic universe inspired by deeply rooted concepts and tales in Indian mythology but set in the modern world.
During a conversation with IANS, Ayan had earlier said that with Ranbir Kapoor starrer Brahmastra he has put so much in the film for so long that he has a “very peaceful confidence when it comes to this film”.
Next in line is Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan starrer Vikram Vedha, a neo-noir action thriller, which is a remake of a Tamil hit film helmed by Pushkar and Gayathri, who are also directing the Hindi remake. Set to release on September 30, the film tells the story of a tough police officer who sets out to track down a menacing gangster. It also features Radhika Apte in a prominent role.
On October 7, Amitabh Bachchan, Rashmika Mandanna and Neena Gupta’s movie Goodbye will be hitting the theatres for release. The film is touted as a heart-warming story about family, life and relationships.
After giving three duds such as ‘Bachchhan Paandey’, ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ and ‘Raksha Bandhan’, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar will be seen coming on the big screen once again with Ram Setu, which will be locking horns with Ajay Devgn’s ‘Thank God’ at the box-office. Both movies have been booked for a Diwali release on October 24.
Ram Setu is an action-adventure drama that tells a story rooted in Indian cultural and historical heritage. ‘Thank God’, which also stars Sidharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet Singh, has a fantasy-based plotline which follows Sidharth’s untimely death.
Ajay, reportedly, is playing the role of the God of Death, Yamraj, in the movie. The comic plot of the movie is to be driven by the banter between Ajay and Sidharth.
Bollywood stars Ajay Devgn and Tabu are all set to bring the nail-biting mystery back on screen after 2015 movie ‘Drishyam’ with ‘Drishyam 2’, a remake of the Mohanlal-starrer by the same name. Actor Akshaye Khanna has also joined the team of the hit thriller.
Drishyam chronicled the story of a family man Vijay Salgaonkar, who leaves no stone unturned to protect his family after an unfortunate incident involving his elder daughter, brought them under the police’s scanner. The second instalment of the thriller is set to release on November 18.
The Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon-starrer Bhediya is all set to light up the screen on November 25. The horror-comedy is directed by Amar Kaushik and written by Niren Bhatt, best known for penning the long-running TV show ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah‘. ‘Bhediya’ is the third film in producer Dinesh Vijan’s horror-comedy universe after ‘Stree’ and ‘Roohi’ — both starring Rajkummar Rao in the lead.
Ayushmann’s film An Action Hero’is the first release in December. Touted as a slick actioner with a sprinkle of satirical humour, ‘An Action Hero’ follows the story of an artists journey from behind to in front of the camera.
After giving out a failure in May with ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’, Bollywood’s livewire actor Ranveer Singh returns to the silver screen with Rohit Shetty’s ‘Cirkus’.
Hitting the screens on Christmas, ‘Cirkus’, which is officially adapted from Shakespeare’s play ‘The Comedy of Errors’, will release on December 23. The big-budget film stars Ranveer, Pooja Hegde, Jaqueline Fernandez, Varun Sharma and many more popular faces from Bollywood.
Bringing the curtains down for 2022, will be superstar Salman Khan’s Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali (now Bhaijaan), which is a family drama.
Bhaijaan, which also stars Pooja Hegde, Venkatesh, Shehnaaz Gill and Raghav Juyal among many other, will light up the screens on December 30.
