Some upcoming Indian movies I am excited for

[dangermousie]

(in order from most excited to least)

1. Allu Arjun's Badrinath - I believe this Telugu movie may have come out in the theaters, but it's not out on DVD yet. Allu Arjun with long hair, sword, and angsty love story? OMG I NEED IT. This looks to be like Magadheera in one respect - part of the story taking part in the past and part in the present. If it's 1/10 as good as Magadheera (i.e. my favorite South Indian or even just Indian movie of all time), then I will be a happy woman.

2. Mausam with Shahid Kapoor and Sonal Kapoor (no relation :P). Bollywood seems to have given up on making epic love stories lately but this tale of tragic love between an air force pilot and a Kashmiri girl seems to remedy that with a vengeance. I am getting flashes to Veer Zaara and that is a very very good thing:

3. Force with John Abraham and Genelia DeSouza. This is a Bollywood remake of a Southie movie and mmmm, I approve of John Abraham as a shirtless tough angsty cop, plus Bolly remakes of South Indian movies are second-best only to SI movies themselves.

4. Bodyguard with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif - it looks like good wacky fun with SK as the titular character working for a spoiled rich girl.

Mausam promos gave me Veer Zaara flashbacks as well. Something about it says Shahid Kapoor in a role that could have been played by SRK.

Yes. I am so looking forward to this.

I don't know anyone in RL or on my flist who watches Indian movies so I need your help in identifying one that I watched maybe 8-10 years ago? Snotty rich girl has an unhappy run in with a poor guy but girl gets into an accident later and loses her memories. Poor guy claims that she is his wife and brings her home with the intention to get back at her. He makes her cook, clean, take care of the kids (I can't remember if they were his kids or kids he took in). Of course they slowly fall in love but things start to unravel when she slowly recovers her memories.
I know it's a long shot since I don't remember many details and I've all but given up hope of ever knowing what movie it was but hey, never say never. ;)

It's called Ek Ladka Ek Ladki and is a remake of Hollywood movie Overboard :P

Wow, didn't expect such a quick response. Thanks a lot! :) So it was Salman Khan... heeh, I did remember the main guy being good looking.

Sallu/Katrina - the pairing so wrong it's right. Have they actually done a good film together? Ah, who cares. :D I also like the look of the Bodyguard trailer. Then again, I think I just like Sallu these days. His films bring on the masala, rather Southie-style.

Apparently Katrina is in that one song only, Bebo is the leading lady.

I'm excited for bodyguard. and as said, Kareena Kapoor is the heroine of the movie, katrina is there just for a song. and it's a remake of a southie. it's rather an emotional love story than comic.
