Gehraiyaan Back in 2006, when Karan Johar made Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna about infidelity, despite the commercial success, it was received with polarised reactions. 16 years later, Shakun Batra’s Gehraiyaan, produced by the same filmmaker, seems to be dealing with a similar theme. This time, with the audiences more evolved, the response should be a lot more balanced, if not overwhelming.

Prithviraj  Akshay Kumar is carrying the sentiment of nationalism without a hint of apology for the last six years. The glorious history of the country that was mostly unexplored is being discovered by writers who mostly think of Kumar to headline such subjects. The title gives away what character he dons this time. The canvas is magnanimous, albeit with a strong emotion of deja vu. Yet, to deny this YRF juggernaut its place in one of the most awaited films of the year maybe incorrect. He saved the box-office with Sooryavanshi last year. Time to be lucky for Bollywood again?

CirKus Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty are like a house on fire and Simmba’s blazing performance (of both the character and the film) is proof of the same. The filmmaker has denied this is an adaptation of Gulzar’s unforgettable Angoor. It’s based in the 60s and to see Ranveer Singh in this space of the first time makes this one of the most awaited films of the year.

Gangubai Kathiawadi  For the first time since 2013, Sanjay Leela Bhansali goes beyond Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh and casts Alia Bhatt for the role of a young, naive girl sucked into the world of flesh trade. She goes on to become a dreaded name in the city and Kamathipura, a devastating world that later became her home. Alia dissolves into such aching narratives with conviction (Highway, Raazi), but with Bhansali, the stakes are high and the scale even higher.

Radhe Shyam Prabhas and Pooja Hegde`s tale of romance is all about astrology and audacious visual effects. This one looks like a potenital blockbuster. Prabhas fans shouldn`t complain.

RRR Due to the shutting down of cinemas, SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus won’t release on January 7 now. Fans were eager and excited to witness what lies in this grand world the filmmaker has envisioned. The wait just got longer.

Pathan  The last time the world saw Shah Rukh Khan on celluloid was in 2018 in Zero. The last time we saw him on social media was last year in September. There’s no official announcement about this film, and yet, fans are visibly excited to witness this action-packed entertainer that also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. But more than anything else, it will be a hopeful return to form for an actor who has had a rather tepid run at the ticket windows off late.

Shamshera Ranbir Kapoor in and as, for the first time ever. This will be the second period drama by YRF in the same year. A production house that has established its legacy on sweeping romances and pulsating dramas is now entering into an oeuvre that was mostly reserved for Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ashutosh Gowariker. Thugs of Hindostan may have failed, that doesn’t suppress or stop them from attempting the genre again. Ranbir Kapoor teams up with Sanjay Dutt in an intriguing case of casting after Sanju. The film is slated for a March 18 release.

Laal Singh Chaddha Aamir Khan couldn’t make it for Christmas 2020 or 2021 either. It’s April 14 for him this year. Attempting Forrest Gump for an Indian audience is tricky. For those who have seen may always choose the original, the ones who haven’t may find the narrative niche, but in Khan we trust.

Vikram Vedha  Inspiration from the South will continue in 2022 as well as Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan step into the shoes of Vijay Sethupathi and R. Madhavan in a game of cat-and-mouse and wits. To suit the sensibility of the Hindi film audience, the makers are likely to tweak the script and the characters, but Roshan and Khan pitied against one another should be a battle to look out for on September 30.
