"If you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt — only love.'" Mirzya is a timeless folktale based on the life of Mirza Saibhan and set in two parallel worlds. It follows the journey of two lovers. One world is reality and the other world is a complete fantasy. As the lovers grapple with the forces that try to tear them apart, they discover that even a moment of true love is worth an entire lifetime.

Although Harshvardhan Kapoor worked as an assistant director on Bombay Velvet, Mirzya will be Anil Kapoor's son's debut film, and everyone is waiting to see if he can live up to expectations.

Gangster
Director: Birsa Dasgupta
Cast: Yash Dasgupta and Mimi Chakraborty
Release Date: October 7th, 2016

Tutak Tutak Tutiya is a Bollywood dance film featuring iconic dance master Pradhu Deva alongside Tamannaah and Sonu Sood. With Prabhu Deva involved, we already know there will be a number of dance sequences to wow the audience, but the film is actually a horror-comedy and should make for an interesting watch. The film is in Hindi but has also been dubbed in Tamil and Telugu.

Zulfiqar

Cast: Prosenjit Chatterjee, Dev and Ankush Hazra
Release Date: October 7th, 2016

Based on William Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar and Antony and Cleopatra, Zulfiqar is a Bengali film that will take audiences by surprise. The film is set to release during the Durga Puja festival. The film was written while its director, Srijit Mukherji, was confined to a hospital bed. It's set against the backdrop of the Kolkata underworld. Srijit has also confirmed that the film is a tribute to the 1972 film The Godfather, and this should be the perfect salute since the director has six blockbusters out of the eight films he has made so far in his career.

Anna
Director: Shashank Udapurkar
Cast: Shashank Udapurkar, Tanishaa Mukerji and Govind Namdeo
Release Date: October 14th, 2016

Television actor Sharad Malhotra will be seen on the big screen in the upcoming horror film 1:13:7 Ek Tera Sath, which was shot in Ghanerao, Jaisalmer, Jodapur, Delhi, Chandigargh, Shimla and Mumbai. The film itself actually has a supernatural element to its horror theme. Malhotra will be playing the role of a Prince who is left a fortune and wishes by his forefathers and the film will show the twists and turns that take place in his life.

Shivaay

It looks like Ajay Devgan's latest film, Shivaay, will be hitting the screens on Diwali weekend. The action thriller was directed and produced by the actor, who also plays the lead role. The plot has not yet been revealed, but it Mithoon has allegedly done the music and British band The Vamps have worked some magic within the film as well.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
Director: Karan Johar
Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwariya Rai Bachchan, Anushka Sharma, Fawad Khan, Imran Abbas and Lisa Haydon
Release Date: October 28th, 2016

Trailer for Ay Del Hai Mushkil

Competing with Devgan's Shivaay as one of the month's most eagerly anticipated films that will also release on Diwali weekend, Dharma Productions' Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was directed by the much-loved Karan Johar. The film was announced back in 2014, and Johar has said he needed time to develop it. It looks like the film's plot is a mix of love stories, starting with Anushka's character, who is trying to get over a recent breakup when she develops a relationship with a man who loves to sing, played by Ranbir Kapoor. But somewhere in the mix, as you see in the trailer, we have something going on between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's character and Kapoor, with superstar Shah Rukh Khan making a guest appearance. We can't forget that we also have Pakistani actor and Bollywood heartthrob Fawad Khan. The trailer promises a brilliant storyline!
