To quote Bollywood, Duniya sirf ek cheez pe hi chalti hai (The world runs only on one thing), Entertainment, Entertainment aur Entertainment.

And that is true for most cases, exhibit our entire film industry. It’s the largest producer of movies with the maximum movies made in a year than anywhere else. But in all that chaos, a little ray of hope for storytelling makes a slight appearance and lights up our world, like Udaan, which is a cult now. And we’ve seen some spectacular movies earlier the year like Masaan and Aligarh which challenged everything the society stands for in their own little way.

Here are a few upcoming movies which are trying to do the same and do more than just entertain you.

1. Nil Battey Sannata

A story about a teenaged girl who is her mother’s whole world and all she wants for her daughter a better life. In an attempt of getting her daughter on the right track, this woman finds a track of her own and that’s precisely what all Indians below the poverty line need…hope.

2. Laal Rang

This movie talks about the underbelly of the black market and it’s not just material things that are black marketed, even lifelines. One of these is the business of blood and I’m sure it’s going to be a treat to watch because of Randeep Hooda’s Haryanvi ruggedness.

3. Buddha In A Traffic Jam

This might be by far the most controversial film yet as the trailer prophecies but the subject it has picked is seldom spoken about. Anupam Kher has done a brilliant job in making this film see the light of the day and we hope it’s everything we’re anticipating from this movie like we did with Gulaal.

4. Mirzya

This movie is said to have based slightly on the story of a great poet Mirza Ghalib and even though it may not star a superstar but son of Anil Kapoor would be the lead. But even if the cast is not unusual in selection, the picture is being made by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, which is as good a promise for a good movie.

Four women. Four lives. Four different sources of pain. But pain? It’s the same. The want of freedom.

6. Phobia

Not much is known about this movie yet but it’s going to be a psychological thriller and we definitely trust Radhika Apte to make a good choice in films.

7. Traffic

A lot of lives depend on saving one life. This movie will for sure be another one of Manoj Bajpai’s stellar performances.

8. Dear Dad

Remember the movie, Kehna Hi Kya and Tu Hi Re fame Bombay?

Aravind Swamy is back in Bollywood with a story of a dad struggling with a perfect life because he finds something that might male him imperfect in the eyes of others, especially his own son. This movie could be the one of those movies which we keep too close to our hearts.

9. Dhanak

A story that is too great to be described in words. You have to feel it understand it.

All I’ll say it’s full of colors laughs, smiles, a few tears, love of a sister and a little boy who cannot see any of them.

You can watch the trailer here.

Cannot wait to watch all of them!
