Three Big Films, One Exciting Month – What to Expect in Bollywood This January
In January 2024, Bollywood is gearing up for a blockbuster month with three major releases. Let’s break down what’s in store for film enthusiasts.
Merry Christmas:
A Surprise Package
- Release Date: January 12
- Who’s In: Vijay Sethupathi & Katrina Kaif
- Captain of the Ship: Sriram Raghavan
This movie is a bit under the radar right now, but don’t count it out just yet. Director Sriram Raghavan, known for his hit “Andhadhun,” and Vijay Sethupathi, who impressed in “Jawan,” are part of the crew. Even though Katrina Kaif’s last film, Tiger 3, didn’t make waves, “Merry Christmas” might just be the surprise hit of the month. Keep an eye out for this one!
Main Atal Hoon:
Pankaj Tripathi Takes the Lead
- Release Date: January 19
- Starring: Pankaj Tripathi
- Directed by: Ravi Jadhav
Pankaj Tripathi, the man who delivered laughs in “OMG 2,” is taking center stage in “Main Atal Hoon,” a biopic on Atal Bihari Bajpayee. But here’s the catch – the last movie got a boost from Akshay Kumar’s magic, and this one might face a struggle after its opening weekend. Can Pankaj Tripathi carry the film on his shoulders? We’re about to find out.
Fighter:
Hrithik Roshan & Deepika Padukone’s Big Bang
- Release Date: January 25
- Starring: Hrithik Roshan & Deepika Padukone
- Directed by: Siddharth Anand
After the success of “Pathaan,” director Siddharth Anand is ready to rewrite history with “Fighter.” Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone are teaming up, and the buzz is that this might be a sure-shot blockbuster, crossing the 500-crore mark. If they pull it off, it’ll be Deepika’s third consecutive 500-crore hit. That’s something to look forward to!
The Big Picture: January 2024 Could Break Records
- The Goal: 555+ Crores Combined
- Breaking Records: If these three films together make 555+ crores, it’ll be the best opening month since the pandemic. Last year, “Pathaan,” “Kuttey,” and “Varisu” collected 554.02 crores in January. This year, it seems like Bollywood is aiming higher. The last time we saw such an explosive January was in 2020 with hits like “Chhapaak,” “Tanhaji,” “Street Dancer 3D,” “Panga,” and “Jawaani Jaaneman.” This January is shaping up to be even bigger!
