2015 has already seen its fair share of super-hit Bollywood movies: Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Piku, Dil Dhadakne Do, Baby, Badlapur and NH10 but there have been some duds as well like Mr. X, Bombay Velvet and Hamari Adhuri Kahani. There have also been some sleeper hits like Dum Laga Ke Haisha and Margarita with a Straw.
But the year’s not over yet and a lot of high octane action is upcoming. So here’s what is going to keep you hooked, booked and cooked for the rest of the year:
1. Katti Batti
Release date: 18th September, 2015
2015 has belonged to Kangana so far and the latter half doesn’t look any different. The talented actress is set for another release, this time opposite Imran Khan who is fresh from a prolonged sabbatical. Katti Batti narrates the story of Imran’s character who falls in love with Kangana’s character because of her attitude towards life and decides to move in with her, until one day Kangana walks out of the relationship. What happens next? Go figure!
2. Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu
Release date: 25th September, 2015
The wait is finally over. India’s king of comedy, Kapil Sharma, is finally making a full fledged debut on the big screen with Abbas-Mustan’s Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu and his fans can’t wait already. The film is believed to be a full on masala entertainer where Kapil could be seen romancing a lot of actresses like Elli Avram and Manjari Phadnis among others. However, our advice would be to leave your brains at home and go enjoy the movie simply for Kapil Sharma’s performance.
3. Calendar Girls
Release date: 25th September, 2015
Madhur Bhandarkar is known to have a blatantly neutral take on the entertainment industry. The National Award winning director has time and again shown the good, bad and ugly facets of his own industry in his previous movies.

Launching 5 fresh faces through this movie, Madhur is once again expected to throw open a controversial debate, this time in the world of fashion calendar shoots!

5. Jazba
Release date: 9th October, 2015

Biopics of sportspersons have become the new winning formula at the Box office these days. And the genre couldn’t have asked for a bigger and better boost than the release of MS Dhoni, the movie.
