Over the past few years Bollywood has grown as an industry and the quality of movies in terms of story, music, graphics etc. has improved drastically. 2016 has almost come to an end now and this year we saw some amazing movies like Udta Punjab and Pink which were addressing social issues. Biopics like M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Neerja etc. which showed us the unknown sides of the lives of famous personalities. Then of course there were many commercial mainstream movies like Fan, Ki & Ka, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil etc. which we blockbuster hits. And let’s not forget some offbeat movies like Airlift, Rustom and Raman Raghav 2.0 which were extremely entertaining. With just one month left in 2016 there are still a few movies like Dear Zindagi, Kahaani 2 and Dangal for which people are really excited.
Right now let’s talk about some of the upcoming movies of 2017 which look really promising. January 2017 will see Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil and Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees competing head to head on the box office as both the movies are scheduled for a Republic Day release on 26th January. On one side Kaabil is a modern day love story cum thriller in which Hrithik and Yami Gautam are visually impaired, on the other hand Raees has the likes of Shah Rukh Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui who have never let the audience down. Then we have Jolly LLB 2, starring Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi , which is scheduled for a February release. Jolly LLB which released in 2013, starring Arshad Warsi, Amrita Rao and Boman Irani had an excellent story and a great performance by the actors but didn’t perform well at the box office. Now it will be really exciting to see Akshay Kumar playing the role of a lawyer after he has played the roles of an Army Officer in Holiday and Baby, a Naval Officer in Rustom.
