Piku

Director: Shoojit Sircar

Star cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan Khan, Moushumi Chatterjee, Raghuvir Yadav, Jishu Sengupta, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, Akshay Oberoi, Deepika Padukone

Synopsis: Deepika Padukone portrays the titular protagonist, a Bengali architect living in New Delhi, and Amitabh Bachchan plays her ageing father. The film explores the dynamics of their relationship as they take a road trip to Kolkata.

Why you should watch: Amitabh Bachchan is playing a Bengali and by the promos it seems he has done a mighty good job at it. A must watch. Then there is Irrfan Khan. He maybe striving hard to be a big name in the international waters, but when it comes to Bollywood, he still manages to give some splendid performances. This will be the first time he will be working with Big B. This jodi will definitely be a must watch. to top it all it has Deepika Padukone, who has been giving back to back superhit performances. It will be wonderful to see her as an independent bong girl trying to win the world.

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai

Director: Devang Dholakia

Star cast: Sunny Leone, Ram Kapoor, Evelyn Sharma, Navdeep Chabbra, Suchita Trivedi, Mehul Buch

Synopsis: Sunny Leone is a successful Bollywood star who encounters with Ram Kapoor in some uncertain situations and then is likely to marry him. Ram Kapoor is a 45-year old married man with playboy personality has a wife Kokila and a son Jiggy (Chabbra). After encounter with Shanaya (Leone) starts loving her who brings a twist in his life. Evelyn Sharma is a beautiful girl and neighbour of Praveen (Kapoor) falls in love with his son and then helps Kapoor to impress Shanaya. Navdeep Chabbra is a rockstar and son of Praveen (Kapoor) who has dreams to become a rockstar and falls in love with his neighbor Naina (Sharma). Suchita Trivedi is the wife of Praveen (Kapoor). Mehul Buch is the brother of Praveen (Kapoor).

Why should you watch: Sunny Leone is coming back after a dhamakedaar film Ek Paheli Leela, where she impressed the masses with her acting abilities. We hope to see more of that in KKLH. Also Ram Kapoor looks really funny from what we have seen of him in the promos and trailers. So it will be fun to watch this uncanny jodi of Ram and Sunny.

Phir Se

Director: Kunal Kohli, Ajay Bhuyan

Star cast: Kunal Kohli, Jennifer Winget, Rajit Kapoor, Dalip Tahil, Kanwaljeet Singh, Sushmita Mukherjee

Synopsis: Phir Se is based on a separated couple living in London, trying to come to terms with the consequences of their split.

Why should you watch: Kunal Kohli is making his acting debut with this film and alongside will be Jennifer Winget. Both have worked well in their respective fields before but now they are venturing into films. The music of the film is pretty decent and doing well on the music charts. Should be a fun romantic watch.
