Top 10 – Most Awaited Movies of 2010

Lots of movies to look forward to, in 2010. Two of the biggest stars missing from action last year return with their most ambitious movies ever.

Here is our list of the Most awaited movies of 2010.

10) Raavan – Mani Ratnam is reason enough to watch Raavan first day first show. The director of films like Yuva, Dil Se, Guru returns with Raavan starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. While his films have been good, he hasn’t really tasted box office success. Can he turn it around with Raavan?

Raavan Release date – April 2010

9) Ishqiya – Abhishek Chaubhey, the screenplay writer of Omkara and Kaminey makes his directorial debut with Ishqiya. It will be fascinating to watch talented actors like Arshad Warsi and Vidya Balan share screen-space with the legendary Naseeruddin Shah.

Ishqiya Release Date – January 29th, 2010

8) Action Replay – Expected to be one of Akshay Kumar’s better films this year, Action Replay is directed by Vipul Shah (London Dreams, Namaste London, Waqt).

Action Replay Release Date – Second half of 2010

7) Rajneeti – A movie based on elections and politics in India has Katrina Kaif playing a Sonia Gandhi inspired character. Rajneeti directed by Prakash Jha (Gangaajal, Apaharan) also stars Nana Patekar, Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal and Ranbir Kapoor.

Rajneeti Release Date – May 28th 2010

6) Dhobi Ghat – Not much is known about this Aamir Khan film, except that Aamir plays one of the four leads. Prateik Babbar of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na fame also has a major role to play. Dhobi Ghat is directed by Aamir’s wife Kiran Rao.

Dhobi Ghat Release Date – Second half of 2010. 25th December, you think?

5) Veer – Directed by Anil Sharma, Veer will be a huge test for Salman Khan. The media for some reason, is ignoring this big budget film which hasn’t made it to many “films to look forward to in 2010” lists. Is the hype really missing?

Veer Release Date – January 22nd 2010

4) Guzaarish – For a change, Hrithik Roshan has two releases this year. Guzaarish, the second, is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is all set to prove the critics wrong after a disastrous last outing with Saawariya. The movie also stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who shared great chemistry with Hrithik in Jodha Akbar and Dhoom 2.

Guzaarish Release Date – Diwali 2010 (expected)

3) Tees Maar Khan – Om Shanti Om didn’t work for us, but it did for the majority of people in India. Farah knows the pulse of the Indian audience and is all set to combine comedy, action, romance, masala yet again, this time with Akshay Kumar in Tees Maar Khan.

Tees Maar Khan Release Date – December 2010

2) Kites – The Roshan’s – Rakesh and Hrithik – have a 100% success ratio, right from Kaho Na Pyaar Hai to Krrish. Kites directed by Anurag Basu (Murder, Gangster, Life in a Metro) is their big claim to international fame. The film has been long in the making and with the release date now being fixed (May 14th 2010), Kites is expected to fly high both in India and overseas.
