10 most awaited Bollywood films of 2017 & Release date
1. kaabil - 25 january
The trailer of Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Kaabil’ has already got the audiences hooked. Both Hrithik and Yami
Gautam play visually impaired characters in the thriller. The film revolves around Hrithik’s character, who
wishes to avenge his wife’s rape and murder. Directed by Sanjay Gupta, the movie will hit the theatres on
January 26, 2017 alongside ‘Raees’. It remains to be seen which film reigns supreme in the first box-office
clash of 2017.
2. Raees - 25 january
Shah Rukh Khan, sporting 'surma' in his eyes, a 'taaviz' around his neck, a generous stubble and oodles of
attitude, not only demands but deserves attention. Ever since the 'Raees' teaser was released in 2015, SRK
fans have been eagerly waiting for the film. Moving away from the role of a quintessential romantic hero,
Shah Rukh plays the role of a bootlegger who lives on his own terms. Set in 1980s Gujarat, ‘Raees’ will have
SRK in the titular role. The film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and marks the Bollywood debut of Pakistani
actress Mahira Khan.
3. Jagga Jasoos - 7 april
Yes, we know, this one has been a long wait. Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif started shooting for ‘Jagga
Jasoos’ in 2013 but the film suffered several delays. While RK Jr and Katrina parted ways earlier this year,
the two continued to shoot for the Anurag Basu film. Now, the audience is looking forward to seeing the ex-
couple sharing screen space. The delays notwithstanding, Anurag’s talent as a director cannot be overlooked.
Here’s hoping the director lives up to our expectations when ‘Jagga Jasoos’ hits theatres in April 2017.
4. Bahubali-The Conclusion - 28 april
Baahubali is unarguably the most awaited movie of 2017. Though it is not a Bollywood movie, we are giving
it special mention as the Hindi version of the movie is expected to be a huge hit at the Box Office. Well, we
will get to know, ‘Kattappa Ne Baahubali Ko Kyun Maara’.
5. Tubelight - 26 june

journey of enlightenment from India to China in the movie.
6. The ring - 11 august
Whether it is 'Jab We Met’, ‘Love Aaj Kal’ or ‘Rockstar’, Imtiaz Ali is known to make romantic films that tug
