If there is one thing that a hits of 2010 and 2011 have done, it is to re-emphasize that Hindi cinema buffs, either in India or overseas, go to cinema for paisa-vasool packages of entertainment, story, genre and summary — all being fine, supposing there is decent manoranjan, masala and music. February: Karan Johar’s “Ekk Main Aur Ek Tu,” co-starring Imran Khan, again helmed by first-timer Shakun Batra, will recover on Feb 10. Feb. 17 will see Saif Ali Khan’s home production, a movement blaster “Agent Vinod,” destined by Sriram Raghavan with song by Pritam again. This is a initial time that Kareena Kapoor will have dual films expelled in dual weeks, and Karan Johar coning out with dual productions within a month. Nitin Manmohan’s “Gali Gali Chor Hai” a joke that looks earnest with Akshaye Khanna entrance behind after a prolonged gap, ditto Anu Malik, also comes in. Rumi Jaffrey directs.
June to Aug was a fender proviso for cinema in 2011 and this year, we see guarantee too. Prabhu Deva’s second Hindi directorial after a cult 2009 “Wanted,” “Rowdy Rathore,” starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, hits screens in June. The film’s promos have already held attention, and reportedly, writer Sanjay Leela Bhansali (yes, a male is producing a film!) is so happy with a outcome, and so confident, that he has brought a rights of another South blockbuster, “Ramana.” After all, who does not wish to make money? This will be Sonakshi’s initial film after her 2010 entrance “Dabangg,” so all eyes are on her. The executive also repeats Sajid-Wajid, who are carrying a cream of films this year.
Gautham Menon’s “Ek Deewana Tha,” a reconstitute of a Tamil “Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa,” will also come in, introducing Amy Jackson, a British model, conflicting Pratik Babbar. A.R. Rahman scores music. And if all goes well, Karan Johar’s directorial venture, “Student of a Year,” toplining Rishi Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan and 3 newcomers, competence recover too. The film introduces Alia Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt’s half-sister; Varun Dhawan, David Dhawan’s son; and Siddharth Malhotra. The song is by Vishal-Shekhar.
