New Movies - releasing Soon

DRONA
The players: Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Kay Kay Menon, Jaya Bachchan
The maker: Goldie Behl
The plot: Somewhere in the land of myth, magic and mystery a regular guy (Bachchan) comes to terms with his super hero status which involves battling the spiteful, power-hungry baddie (Menon) with a cool sword in hand and feisty she-bodyguard (Chopra) in tow.
Pros: After Krrish, maybe the audience is ready to place their bets on the zardozi-clad knight with extraordinary powers. Abhishek does possess the requisite intensity and presence to pull this off. Besides, there's this chemistry thing between him and Priyanka, which as witnessed in Bluffmaster, works very well.
Cons: The promos make Drona seem like a compilation of a zillion Hollywood fantasy flicks.
Release date: October 2.

KIDNAP
The players: Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan, Minissha Lamba, Vidya Malvade.
The maker: Sanjay Gadhvi
The plot: Boy meets girl gets a twist. Hot guy (Khan) holds hot girl (Lamba) hostage. Next, he sets up a series of tasks for her estranged billionaire papa (Dutt) to perform, before the latter can come to her rescue.
Pros: Imran Khan is a fine actor and has aroused considerable curiosity among audiences with his unusual choice of second film. Also, Kidnap is a refreshing break for its director Sanjay Gadhvi after the mindless yet profitable Dhoom movies.
Cons: Gadhvi does have a soft corner for style over substance.
Release date: October 2.

The maker: Satish Kaushik
The plot: South-Africa based rock star (Reshammiya) finds love in a pretty dancer (Kumar), only she happens to be under the guardianship of a woman (Matondkar) he dated and got killed by in his previous birth.
Pros: Reincarnation has usually been a lucrative theme at the box-office. Not to forget singer-turned-actor Reshammiya's overwhelming popularity or the bumper opening of his debut, Aap Ka Surroor.
Cons: As in case of most remakes, purists are bound to thumb down Kaushik's reworking of Subhash Ghai's musical drama of romance, rebirth and revenge.
Release Date: October 17.

Cons: Fashion isn't everyone's cup of tea and there's a possibility a significant section of the audience might not relate with it.
Release date: October 29.
