Munna and Curcuit director Rajkumar Hirani finally moves outside of his fabulous characters to take on the Indian education system.

Producer :Ronni Screwvala
Cast : Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Gulshan Grover, Divya Dutta, Rishi Kapoor, Om Puri and Prem Chopra
Releasing on : February 2009
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra became one of the most respected directors in the industry with his apathy-shattering Rang De Basanti a couple of years ago, and we’ve had to wait three years to see what he does next. This one is based on a colourful, mad part of Delhi called Delhi-6, and stars Abhishek Bachchan opposite Sonam Kapoor. We’re expecting a lot.

5)My Name Is Khan
Director : Karan Johar
Producer :Karan Johar, Hiroo YashJohar
Cast : Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, R.Madhavan
Releasing on : Diwali 2009
Karan Johar seems to completely have dropped the K, and the subject matter for his next Shah Rukh Khan starer is intriguing, to say the least: Khan plays a man targeted at an airport because of his last name and his religion, and that discrimination gives rise to many a question. Then again, the film’s been written by Shibani Bhatija, who wrote Fanaa and Kidnap, so maybe we shouldn’t go in expecting answers.

6) Kambakkht Ishq
Director : Sabir Khan
Cast : Akshy Kumar, Kareena Kapoor
Releasing on : 2009
A romantic comedy about an Indian stuntman who takes Hollywood by storm but cannot find true love. Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor star in this massive budget film. The film features several prominent Hollywood players, including Sylvester Stallone, Carmen Electra, Bondgirl Denise Richards and Superman star Brandon Routh.

7) Alladin
Director : Sujoy Ghosh
Cast : Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh
Sujoy Ghosh’s film has been in production for the longest time. Ritesh Deshmukh stars as Alladin while Amitabh Bachchan takes on the role of the genie in this rather zany take on the original.The film is a special effects spectacular and by now, we just want to see what in the world has taken this long to make.

Wake Up Sid
Director : Ayaan Mukherjee
Producer : Karan Johars Dharma Production
Cast : Ranbir Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma
Releasing on : April 2009
Director Ayaan Mukherji makes his debut with this film that promises to be interesting simply because of its unconventional pairing. Ranbir Kapoor, pinup boy-to-be and current heart-throb of the masses, cast opposite indie queen Konkona Sensharma. We’re waiting to see how these two very different genre-representatives get along, and the title sounds fun too.

9) Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
Cast : Upen Patel, Darshan Jariwala, Asrani, Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor while Salman Khan will give special appearance.
Katrina Kaif stars opposite Ranbir Kapoor in this film by Raj Kumar Santoshi. That’s right, the socially aware blockbuster-maker is back with a film that sounds pretty darned unusual.The casting is a bit of a coup, the kind of casting that leaves these kids out to fend for themselves without being able to fall back on a massive banner or Akshay Kumar. Salman Khan, however, does make an appearance.

10) Chatur Singh Two Star
Director : Ajay Chandok
Cast : Sanja Dutt, Amisha Patel, Suresh Menon
Produced by : Mohamed Aslam
Releasing on : May 2009
The film is partially inspired from Pink Panther, but the setting is definitely very Indian. Dutt has great comic timing and for the first time, will be seen in an out-and-out comic role. But the film’s writer Rumi Jaffrey begs to differ and says that Chatur Singh is not based on Pink Panther. Talking about the similarities in the posters of both films, he revealed that since they were unable to get Sanjay Dutt for a shoot, they decided to use a cartoon character instead. Sanju’s character in the film is based somewhat on Inspector Clouseau. Apparently Sanju loved the script when he heard it. He has watched all the Pink Panther movies and is a great fan of Inspector Clouseau.
