Bollywood Movies 2013 NOTE: Page updated on 24th September 2013! Major upcoming Bollywood movies list in 2013 Besharam – October 2 Boss – October 18 Krrish 3 – November 3 Ram Leela – November 15 Gori Tere Pyaar Mein – November 22 Singh Sahab The Great – November 22 Bullett Raja – November 29 Rambo Rajkumar – December 6 Dhoom 3 – December 20 [fb send=’true’ layout=’button_count’][t countbox=’horizontal’] 2012 has the unique distinction of being a year when each of the films released on major festivals/holidays/occasions has resulted in a 100 crore winner. ‘Agneepath’ [Republic Day], ‘Housefull 2’ [IPL kick-start] and ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ [Eid] have been a testimony to that fact and YRF-SRK starrer/’Son of Sardaar’ [Diwali] and ‘Dabangg 2’ [Christmas] are all set to take the trend further. No wonder, similar dates for Bollywood movies in 2013 are being keenly looked at and the calendar is filling up fast with majority of stars staking their claim on the closest Friday. Let’s have a look: Lohri – Imran Khan’s ‘Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola’ (Release Date: 11th January) – This is one film which is being shot rather quietly with no major hype or hoopla surrounding it. The ‘Lohri’ release for the film is just apt as this Imran Khan-Anushka Shgarma starrer is set up North where the festival is celebrated in full fervour. One waits to see whether the film sticks to this release date. Update: The film did release and didn’t do too well at the box office. First big disappointment of 2013. Republic Day – Saif Ali Khan-Anil Kapoor-John Abraham’s ‘Race 2’ (Release Date: 25th January) – Abbas-Mustan didn’t really gain much from three open weeks that they enjoyed early this year for ‘Players’. However with ‘Race 2’ they are expected to strike back with vengeance. ‘Race’ stays on to be their highest grosser till date and with the film’s sequel being much awaited; they should make the best out of Republic Day weekend. Update: Race 2 did well at the box office, collecting Rs 93 crores. First major success of 2012. Eid/Independence Day – UPDATE: The scenario has changed quite dramatically. After 3 super-successful EID releases, Salman Khan is unlikely to have a release this year. But it’s his arch rival Shahrukh Khan who will arrive during the festive weekend. His film will clash with Akshay Kumar’s Once Upon A  Time In Mumbai Again! Should be bigger than JTHJ vs SOS, surely! Diwali – Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Krrish 3’ (Release Date: 3rd November) – Get ready for some fireworks this Diwali as Hrithik Roshan starrer ‘Krrish 3’ is set to make it to the big screen. Though it is pretty much expected that the 202 crore barrier set by Aamir Khan would be broken by then, it won’t really be wrong to say that 250 crore would be the target set by Roshans. Diwali 2013 should be the ‘baap’ of all holidays for Bollywood! Christmas – Aamir Khan’s Dhoom 3 (Release Date: 25th December) – PK was initially expected to release during Christmas, but it’s the other Aamir Khan biggie – Dhoom 3 – that will arrive during the last weekend of the year. It is on this date that Aamir set the 100 and 200 crore milestones. Could 300 crore be surpassed this year? Time will tell!
