Bollywood's New Year treat

It’s time to bid farewell to 2009 and welcome a swanky treat from Bollywood in the coming New Year. All the movies are dated to release back to back in the first half of 2010 leaving little scope for the previous film to survive at the box office.
Interestingly, all the bigwigs of B-town will be contending at the box-office to prove their prowess and popularity week after week. Year 2010 will certainly put an end to the long standing dispute over the ‘Number One’ position in Bollywood. But before the drama unfolds, let’s take a sneak peek at what Bollywood has in store for you in 2010.

Salman Khan’s ‘Veer’ is scheduled for release on January 22nd, which is said to be his dream project. Veer incidentally is an epic saga of bravery.  The movie has been directed by Anil Sharma and has music by the famous duo Sajid Wajid.

A week later it will be Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Raan’ dated to release on January 29. Raan has been directed by Ram Gopal Verma and the film focuses on the press and exposes reality behind the headlines flashed every day.

Then comes the reigning Khan’s most awaited venture ‘My Name is Khan’ on February 12, bringing Shahrukh and Kajol together back on silver screen. Karan Johar makes a comeback into direction after a break of four years. My Name is Khan is based on a muslim child who has Asperger Syndrome which is also known as Autism.

It will then be followed by Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’, a romantic thriller starring Deepika Padukone in the lead.  There is also Amitabh Bachchan’s starrer ‘Teen Patti’ based on world's greatest living mathematician. Sources from the industry say that one of these films may get proponed and not release on the same date i.e. February 25th.

Mani Ratnam’s magnum work ‘Raavan’ is all set for release on the 21st May, Starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Raavan will be Mani Ratnam’s present day version of the Indian epic Ramayan.

Next is Prakash Jha’s biggest venture ‘Rajneeti’ on the 28th May, which reflects contemporary Indian Politicians.  Katrina Kaif will be playing a de-glam role of a politician for the first time. She has also learnt the dialect of U.P. for the role.  Sources also say that her role is based on Sonia Gandhi’s life.
