MY Most Awaited Movies

Ask me about the three most awaited movies for the next 3 months and you won’t find a Khan in them. They will belong to Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan and Naseeruddin Shah, with Arshad Warsi.

Either you’d be shocked by that, or you would have guessed the movies I am talking about.

Well, for now, my most awaited movies include Rocket Singh Salesman of the Year, Ishqiya, and Teen Patti. Followed by Rann and My Name is Khan, the latter more because of Kajol than SRK.

First I will talk about Rocket Singh. Rocket Singh Salesman of the year is a movie so awaited because of one brand name. Shimit Amin. I liked Ab Tak Chhappan. I loved Chak De India. Now, I want to know what is that the man has made. To me, it really doesn’t look like a comedy. In fact, the song, Pocket mein Rocket, suggests that it’s the story of a person who can do anything to move ahead in life, a person who wants to be on top, as fast as possible. Remember the lines, Tata Birla Kaisa, Tere Mere Jaisa…

Then comes Ishqiya. Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi, Vidya Balan. No, other than Naseer the names were not so big, but the trailer was. I loved the trailer of Ishqiya. Or more than that, I saw a promise in that. It makes me want to see the movie. Dying to see it.

And finally there is Teen Patti. A story of two geniuses of mathematics, played by Amitabh Bachchan and Sir Ben Kingsley. Isn’t it enough to keep you intriguing? To me it is something worth waiting for.

Other than these three, there are some more I have some expectations from. And one of these is, somehow, RGV’s Rann.

I have no idea what Ram Gopal Varma has in him but even after so many disasters, he manages to keep some of his projects high-profile. Rann is one of them. I do not know how it MAY turn out. But as of now, I want to see this Amitabh Bachchan-Ritesh Deshmukh starrer. Also, I am waiting for My Name is Khan, not because of SRK OR Karan Johar, but because I would love to see Kajol act again.

3 Idiots is certainly on my watchlist but I don’t have very high hopes with the movie. I know it will be watchable for sure but do not know if it would have something that will make me watch it twice. The way I watched Taare Zameen Par twice in a hall, or the way I want to go for Paa again.

And while Pyaar Impossible and Chance pe Dance look like above average movies right now, I have Zero hopes from Shahrukh Khan’s Dulha Mil Gaya.

So the last movie I am going to talk about is Veer. No, I don’t think it’s going to be anything I am waiting for. But I’m feeling like it may be not-that-bad. And if that happens, it may do wonders, as Salman Khan is anyways going to sweep off the small towns, so if it manages to stay OK with multiplex audiences, it may be a big hit. OK. I am waiting for it. Just to see which hand pump Salman is going to remove this time.
