The days of reading lists of upcoming Bollywood releases and finding those full of new-age rom coms and macho action films are long gone. Here are some kick-ass films and some awesome come-backs in 2012, and what a year it seems to be!
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
Starring Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor
The director of Rang De Basanti and Delhi-6 is making a biopic about Milkha Singh, our Flying Sikh and Olympic gold winner. The multitalented Farhan Akhtar takes on Milkha's role, so the film already sounds brilliant!
Once Upon A Time In Mumbai 2
Directed by Milan Luthria
Starring Akshay Kumar, Shahid Kapoor
With The Dirty Picture, Milan Luthria became the household Bollywood maker of stories from the dark underbelly of Indian society. He returns to his magnum opus Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, with Akshay Kumar replacing Emraan Hashmi as the surviving don and documents his rise as the biggest crime overlord of Mumbai.
Joker
Directed by Shirish Kunder
Starring Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Shreyas Talpade, Javed Jaffery
Ever heard of something as awesome as a live action Hindi fantasy film that is not meant for kids and has a star cast? Akshay Kumar stars in this multistarrer 3D-shot film, apparently about aliens!
Heroine
Directed by Madhur Bhandarkar
Starring Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal
With Bhandarkar's portfolio of dark women-centric films about Mumbai and society, this seems to be his finest moment. The take on Bollywood's male-dominated industry and its use of heroines should be Kareena at her best as well.
Talaash
Directed by Reema Kagti
Starring Aamir Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Kareena Kapoor
Reema Kagti has directed Honeymoon Travels and co-written the feel-special Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. The Assamese lass directs Aamir Khan in his first ever suspense thriller. https://www.stargold.in/features.aspx?aid=7676
