Upcoming Bollywood films in 2018 that have got us hooked

The previous year turned out to be a dull one for Bollywood. Barring Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, many big-ticket movies, that were expected to set the box-office on fire, proved to be big-time duds.

2018, however, promises to be a much refreshing one for the Hindi cinema-goers. From a plethora of star-studded movies to the indigenous dramas, many films are lined up to keep us thrilled in the coming months. Here are some of the most-anticipated Bollywood movies releasing this year.

#1 Padman

Padman is a movie based on the sensational story of Arunachalam Muruganatham who revolutionized the manufacturing of sanitary napkins for women in India. All set to hit the screens on January 26th, this Akshay Kumar starrer is currently busy creating the pre-release promotional buzz.

#2 Padmavat

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavat’ has finally been cleared for a release in India. Surrounded by a gamut of controversies ever since it was first announced, the movie has kept the film lovers intrigued for quite some time now.
