Meri Pyaari Bindu
Director: Akshay Roy

Release Date: May 12, 2017
Parineeti Chopra has been missing from the silver screen for a while, but she is coming back in her new film, Meri Pyaari Bindu, and she made the announcement in a different way — by releasing a video! She starts the video singing with her awesome voice and then moves on to announcing the name of the film and the director. The film is based on an aspiring singer and her love story. Parineeti’s last film was Kill Dill, and the wait for her next picture will certainly pay off since she sings one of the tracks in the film.
Hindi Medium
Director: Saket Chaudhary
Cast: Irrfan Khan, Saba Qamar
Release Date: May 12, 2017
Last year was fantastic for Irrfan Khan, what with Madaari, the Hollywood film Inferno, and of course his voiceover for the Hindi version of The Jungle Book. Now he’s all set for the release of his latest film, Hindi Medium, and this will show him in an unusual role. You can catch the actor playing a rich Punjabi businessman, a clothes store owner from Chandni Chowk whose wife is portrayed by Pakistani actress Saba Qamar. The film was shot in real locations, and Irrfan met with real shopkeepers to analyze their daily routines.
Half Girlfriend

Release Date: May 19, 2017
Half Girlfriend is the upcoming Bollywood film based on a book by Chetan Bhagat. The film is based on a Bihari boy who is trying to win over the girl of his dreams. Madhav meets Chetan and leaves him a few journals that tell the story of a girl he believes is now dead. Madhav met Riya when the two got close due to their love for Basketball. Madhav does wrong, and Riya leaves to marry someone else. Years later, Madhav bumps into Riya again. She’s now divorced, and she tells him she loves him but she has lung cancer and is dying. Riya disappears until three years later, when it is revealed that Riya is actually alive and lives in New York. Madhav goes to find her and, of course, the two reconcile their relationship.
Director: James Erskine

This biopic is based on none other than the legendary cricket player Sachin Tendulkar.

Tendulkar was rumoured, at first, not to be keen on the film, but he later agreed.
