First on our list is the much awaited action thriller, Force. A remake of the popular Tamil film Kaakha Kaakha, the movie tells the story of a dutiful cop in pursuit of a malicious gangster. With his biceps and triceps bulked up for his angry young man look, it's undeniable the camera is loving the hunky John, especially his new pairing with the bubbly Genelia D'souza.

Cast: Jimmy Shergill, Mahie Gill, Randeep Hooda

Director/Producer: Tigmanshu Dhulia/Tigmanshu Dhulia, Rahul Mittra

Music director: Amit Sial, Sunil Bhatia, Jaidev Kumar, Anuj Garg, Abhishek Ray, Ankit Tiwari, Mukhtar Sahota

Said to have taken loose inspiration from the film Sahib Biwi aur Ghulam, the film sees a Nawab (Shergill) clutching at atrocious methods to vainly try and maintain his age old traditions in modern times. With his attentions diverted to his mistress, his Begum (Gill) asks her driver (Hooda) - who she develops a steamy relationship with and has been planted by a rival to murder the Nawab - to murder the mistress so her husband returns. However, after the deed, the driver's ambitions heighten wanting the Begum for himself. What happens next? Well, if you're bored of the usual love stories and are looking for something spicy with a whole heap of betrayal thrown in, then look no further.

 

Cast: Dev Anand, Jackie Shroff, Riya Sen, Divya Dutta, Naseruddin Shah, Yashpal Sharma, Milind Gunaji, Amar Singh

Director/Producer: Dev Anand/Dev Anand

Music director: Ad Boys

Still going strong in his 88th year, at the helm of all the major positions in this movie is none other than yesteryear's lovable star, Dev Anand. Speculations have it that the movie is inspired by the real life case actress Divya Bharti, who mysteriously fell to her death at the peak of her career. Divya Dutta is set to play an actress who mysteriously dies whilst Dev Anand plays the role of a CBI officer who cracks her case. One reason people may watch this is to see the evergreen actor shine on the silver screen once again. Others? To see how politician Amar Singh fairs in a cameo of a Home Minister! But are they reasons enough for you?

 

Cast: Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Minissha Lamba, Pia Trivedi, Satish Kaushik, Sanjay Mishra, Madhur Bhandarkar

Director/Producer: Sagar Ballary/Sunil Chainani, Sameer Srivastava, Subhash Dawar

Music director: Sachin-Jigar

Taking a break from the heavy duty crime and thriller movies, we bring you a more light hearted rom-com. Another story centred on love triangles, this movie follows Tusshar and Shreyas as they compete each other to vie for Shabana's aka Minissha attention. However, a twist in the story comes when the competition to get her turns into a competition to be rid of her. Confused? Well, watch it to get to know what's going on! Even though the movie seems to lack in the promotional side of things, loyal fans of Shreyas and Tusshar should definitely check out the actors' much talked about comedy timing, as once displayed in Golmaal 3. Fans of Minissha can take a look to see their actress trying her hand in comedy.

 

Cast: Vinay Pathak, Riya Sen, Jagrat Desai, Sasha Goradia, Darshan Jariwala, Sushmita Mukherjee

Director/Producer: Deepa Sahi/Anup Jalota, Ketan Mehta

Music director: Shivangi R Kashyap

Another romantic comedy, this movie revolves around the oldest battle of time - the battle of the sexes. The plot reveals how a much-in-love couple extend their honeymoon whilst travelling the Alps of the Himalayas. However, their love affair tends to get the better of them, leading to some hilarious arguments and the meeting of a local couple, Vinay Pathak and Riya Sen. Life isn't always perfect, and this movie shows just that with the right amount of comedy.

 

Cast: Garry Gill, Amrita Prakash, Sharat Saxena, Gurpreet Guggi, Lilette Dubey, Javed Sheikh

Director/Producer: Pammi Somal/Pammi Somal, Gurtejpal S. Somal

Music director: Jatin-Sameer
