Bollywood Films To Watch In February 2016
Check out our list of films coming this month from Bollywood and beyond, including some fantastic romance movies because you know that no one does romance quite like Bollywood, right?
Direct Ishq
This film is based on Vicky (Rajneesh Duggal), a rough and aggressive local boy, and Kabeer (Arjun Bijlani), a rich event organizer, who both fall for a bubbly girl called Dolly (Nidhi Subbaiah).Who will get the girl? Only time can tell. The film is situated on the banks of the Ganges in Banaras, the oldest and most religious city in India which gives it a beautiful setting.
This musical tale of love is based on Inder (Harshvardan Rane), a boy that did not want to love anyone, and Saru (Mawra Hocane), a girl no-one wanted to love, and both waited all their lives to meet but did not know how. The trailer was released on the December 15, 2015 and although the film was supposed to release on the January 8 it has now been pushed to this month.
Fitoor is a romantic drama and since it stars the beautiful Katrina Kaif and dashing Aditya Rao Kapur it looks like it may just be a hit in the making. The initial filming took place in Kashmir and also in the Humayun's Tomb in Delhi. The rest of the film was shot in the famous Mehboob Studios in Mumbai and finished in September 2015. Finally the cast and crew flew to Poland to finish off some parts of the film. Bringing all this together Fitoor looks set to show us some amazing cinematography.
Stepping away from the Bollywood genre for just a second we have an Indo-Bangladeshi romantic action film and it's a remake of a Telagu film called Maska. In September 2015 it was announced that Nusraat Faria Mazhar was going to play the female lead and then a little while later it was announced that Om was being roped in to play the male lead. The soundtrack of the film was conducted by Savvy Gupta.
This is a sequel to the the film Tere Bin Laden and after the mysterious death of Bin Laden, a Bollywood director is hired by the CIA on the pretext of making a Hollywood film. The real motive however, is to shoot a fake tape to prove Osama's death which of course comes with many challenges.
Another Bangladeshi film to add to our list, this one is based on an underworld mafia who steals valuable mineral resources and tries to sell them to an international crime organization. However, a news reporter finds out and exposes the whole operation.
Set in the city of Uttar Pradesh, the plot revolves around Dr. Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras (Manoj Bajpai), who taught at Aligarh Muslim University. He is sacked from his position as a teacher on charges of homosexuality with a sting operation that follows.
