Most Awaited Movies Of 2016
It promises to be a bang-for-the-buck year at the movies. After looking through scores of release plans, these are the movies we are most excited about. Apart from the ones listed, we will also get to watch Vishal Bhardwajs Rangoon, a period romance set in World War II inspired by Casablanca, pitting Kangana Ranaut against Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor. Next year will also see the return of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra with Mirzya, a love story with four newcomers, and Aditya Chopra shedding his angst-in-love baggage for a light-hearted romance in Befikre.
