Movie calendar is something that always keeps on changing. For example, Pritish Nandy Communications and Percept were in doubt whether they should put their award winning movie Raat Gayi Baat Gayi for releasing on 11th December or not as there were Ishqiya, Dulha Mil Gaya, and Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year releasing on the same date. After much discussion, they shifted their movie by one week to 18th November, and now Ishqiya and Dulha Mil Gaya have been moved to January, leaving Rocket Singh alone for a free ride in the sky.
But somehow, the top movie of almost every week remains the same other than on 18th when there will hopefully be a movie to watch, that is Raat Gayi Baat Gayi of Saurabh Shukla.
Now my list includes Kurbaan on 20th (hopes, though not huge), De Dana Dan on 27th (not really high on hopes there), Radio on 3rd December (suicide mission), Paa on 4th (high hopes, very; of course), Rocket Singh on 11th (Shimit Amin’s name is the only big hope), RGBG on 18th (hopeful as the movie has got Best movie Award at New York South Asian Film Festival recently), and finally 3 Idiots on Christmas Day. No, no high hopes from the last one either, just hope it’s ‘good’.
But then, other than these big guns, there is more. While Amit Rai’s Road to Sangam, boasting of Paresh Rawal and Om Puri in lead roles, is a movie based on a Social, Patriotic story, Anant Mahadevan’s movie Red Alert – The War Within, starring Sunil Shetty, Naseeruddin Shah, Vinod Khanna, Seema Biswas and Makrand Deshpande, is another movie on a strong subject, Naxalites’ issue.
Both these movies are likely to release in December-early January if things remain as they are (which is quite rare actually). While I’m somehow not very hopeful with Red Alert even with its strong cast, Road to Sangam is looking promising right now. Since both the movies have not yet got their release dates fixed, I still do not know when the movies will release but I’m in a waiting mode for Road to Sangam already. Also, the movie has Peace Activist and Great Grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Tushar Gandhi in a guest appearance.

No hopes from 3idiots????:( anyways. Kurbaan has proved my fears correct. I have no hopes for de dana dan. No akki movies for me from now on. Just waiting for paa, Rocket singh and 3i.
Can’t say No hopes from 3 idiots but yes, not big on my list. Regarding Akki, I won’t say an absolute NO. I’m expecting Action Replay to be good, but don’t know when it’ll come.
