With curtains going down on the IPL cricket tournament, Bollywood is all set to buzz with activity as a slew of big-budget movies with nearly Rs 350 crore riding on them slated for release.
As the over month long tournament grabbed eye balls, major releases were held back. The first biggie lined up for release is Sajid Nadiadwala's comic caper 'Housefull' on April 30.
Yash Raj films' 'Badmash Company' starring Shahid Kapur and Anushka Sharma will hit the screens on May seven, Hrithik Roshan-Barbara Mori starrer 'Kites' on May 21, followed by Prakash Jha's political thriller 'Raajneeti' on June 4 and Mani Ratnam's 'Raavan' on June 18.
Trade analyst Amod Mehra told PTI that the film industry will be closely watching the performance of these big releases.
u00a0"Stakes are high for the industry reeling under recession, high production costs and films flopping at regular intervals. At least Rs 350 crore is riding on these summer releases," he said.
The first look of 'Raavan' has already created a buzz and the film's music will be launched in Mumbai tomorrow.
Abhishek and Aishwarya will be seen together in the movie after three years. Their last film with Mani Ratnam was 'Guru' and soon after the release the two actors were engaged to get married.u00a0
