Bollywood Upcoming Movies : Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji

From the director who gave us hard hitting/realistic cinema such as Page 3, Chandni Bar, Fashion and more recently Jail, now comes rom-com Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji. A co-production between Bhandarkar Entertainment and Wide Frame Pictures, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji is pegged as a slice-of-the-life romantic comedy where story revolves around three men and their encounters with love. "This is the first time that I am making a slice of life romantic comedy and I hope as people loved my earlier films, they will definitely accept this movie too. The way DTBHJ is shaping up I am sure it will be a treat to watch. DTBHJ, takes a humorous look at love and the extent people will go to escape or attain it," the Fashion director added.

Bollywood Upcoming Movies : Dhobi Ghat

This much awaited Hindi film sees Kiran Rao make her directorial debut. Casting husband Aamir Khan in the lead role as a painter, Dhobi Ghat would be Khan's first release post 3 idiots. Having had its premiere at the Elgin Theatre during the Toronto Film Festival in September 2010 the film was said to be watched by the audience in silence and received a prolonged ovation on completion. One of our writers was there and he called it "Poetry on Film".

In a question and answer session that followed Rao explained that the film was her elegiac tribute to Mumbai, a city which had given and taught her so much in the decade-long formative years she had spent in it. With such high expectations from this film, lets hope it is just as successful at the box office.

Bollywood Upcoming Movies :Turning 30!!!

Turning 30!!! sees producer Prakash Jha working on his first non – political film with long time assistant turned director Alankita Srivastav.

Set in Mumbai, Turning 30!!! is pegged as young urban love story which sees a girl named Naina, deal with heartbreak, a catastrophe in her vocation all ahead of her 30th birthday. With the first look seeing the film labeled as a chick – flick questions, have been raised about Turning 30!!! using English as the primary language, especially after the failure faced by Kites. However, Srivastav has her reasons, she explained, "There was a time when there used to be very few writers who used to write in English. That was all that it was. The time has again come where English writing is being used in the film in terms of dialogues and the actual lingo. As far as Indian films are concerned, there are a few directors who embark on the same philosophy of using English as one of their languages in their films. After all, bilingual films do appeal to a large section of our cine-going audiences."
So Boys Step aside - looks like this is one film that is all set to be one for the girls –
