2010! It has a pleasant ring to it, doesn't it? It might as well translate into some serious box office jingle.
Chances of that happening look bright. With a series of biggies lined up for release, this new year looks dazzling than ever.
For starters, important films, scheduled for a 2009 release, moved to the year after following a deadlock situation between producers and multiplexes. Secondly, 2010 promises an entertaining mix of intense dramas, fluffy romances, cornball comedies, small-budget artistry, innovative ideas and fresh, untried pairs.
Guzaarish
Chemistry is the heartbeat of Guzaarish.
It's a creative circle. Hrithik Roshan creates unforgettable screen moments with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Aishwarya lights the soulful frames of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's imagery. Bhansali paints poetry with his uncontrollably lavish imagination. Just imagine what their collective combination will do?
It's quite simple, really. Either Guzaarish will become immortal in the pages of history. Or fade into nothingness like a wasted opportunity.
Few months into its announcement, Guzaarish has already generated terrific buzz. Rumoured to touch the topic of Euthanasia, the drama features Hrithik as a paraplegic patient and his unique relationship with a nurse, played by Ash. Stock those pack of tissues, folks. They will come in handy.
Kites
Salsa on the rocks? Check. Steaming love scenes? Check. Super sexy cast? Check. No wonder, the buzz on Hrithik Roshan's Kites is hot.
After what seems like forever, director Anurag Basu's ambitious romantic thriller in Hindi, English and Spanish is all set to soar with its tale of blazing passions and nasty betrayals.
Roshan (in his Jesus Christ Superstar-inspired avatar) and his gorgeous Mexican co-star Barbara Mori play two intense, star-crossed lovers striving to make it against all odds. Their explosive chemistry is already talk-of-the-town. Kangna Ranaut completes this puzzling triangle.
Known for his crisp storytelling and sleek visuals, it'll be fun to see what Basu does with his incredibly groovy leading players.
