September releases!

With September underway, we take a peek at the 9 hottest flicks to look out for this month!

 The Girl in Yellow Boots

Release Date: 2^nd September

Star Cast: Kalkli Koechlin, Naseeruddin Shah, Ronit Roy, Prashant Prakash

The Story:

Following her debut with Dev D, Kalki Koechlin returns with another gritty thriller which follows the struggles of Ruth, a Brit who travels to Mumbai in search of her elusive father. There's also a drug addicted boyfriend, a desperate job at a massage parlor and the alien underbelly of Mumbai that stand between our protagonist and her independence.

Why Watch it?

If you're after a larger-than-life romantic production, look away now. The film, co-written by Kalki herself, channels the treatment that a Caucasian woman receives in India whilst exploring the themes of child abuse and drug usage. Shot in a mere 13 days (!) with a liberal use of combined spaces, it has already been welcomed by critics with the warning of an ending you wish you could forget.

 Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

As the title suggests, this romantic comedy produced by Yash Raj follows the story of Khush (Imran Khan) who falls head-over-heels for his brother's bride-to-be, Katrina Kaif, in a grungier look than her fans are used to. Ali Abbas Zafar (not to be confused with Ali Zafar, the brother of Imran in this topsy-turvy love triangle) makes his debut in directing and writing after assisting in successful Yash Raj projects for a number of years.

Why Watch it?

Animated movies are hardly the norm in Bollywood but have been growing in popularity over the years. And with a star-studded cast with a promising story and 3D animation, what's not to love?

Force

Star Cast: John Abraham, Genelia D'Souza

The Story:

A remake of the Tamil flick, Kaakha Kaakha, Force is an action thriller that follows a dutiful cop (John Abraham) as he chases the capture of a deadly gangster. Genelia D'Souza co-stars as the love interest.

Why Watch it?

At first glance, Force can be dismissed as a pure action flick with more grit than heart.  However those who have seen the trailers will attest to the fact that romance has an equal footing in this flick as director Nishikanth pulls together the unlikely pairing of John Abraham (who adopts a much tougher look) and Genelia.

Soundtrack

Why Watch it?

This movie is not for the faint of heart due to its themes! However, this offbeat movie is sure to be the talk of the town with it's realistic portrayals, strong content and the inimitable star cast!
