2022 was a disappointing year for the stars considered to be the hit machine of Bollywood.

So disappointing that Mr. Perfect went on a break from films for a while after ‘Lal Singh Chadha’ failed in the domestic market. Rising stars like Ayushmann Khurrana and veterans like Akshay Kumar faltered at the box office to such an extent that, as one critic put it, ‘if the film opened in the morning, it would have been cleared by noon.’

It is to be seen that Bollywood’s Bhaijaan and King Khan also have the same situation as Mr. Perfect?

Bollywood is facing the challenge of South and other language films like never before.

Film producer and statistician Girish Johar revealed that Bollywood’s contribution to the total box office collection in 2019 was 75%, which will be reduced to just 51% of the total revenue of the Indian film industry in 2022. .

It is expected to shrink further in 2023. Perhaps Bollywood has failed to realize the rapidly changing situation post-Corona.

Most of the critics associated with the film say that during the Corona epidemic, people watched films made in other languages ​​in a much larger number than in the past. Online availability was also easy and time was relatively available. The common audience was disappointed when they started watching the content of Bollywood films in front of other language films. They don’t want to waste time and money on a film whose story won’t touch their hearts.

In the past, common fans used to settle for weak storylines to catch glimpses of their favorite stars. Then how many opportunities were there to see the stars apart from the film? More often than not, a page from a magazine or newspaper was placed under the pillow.

But now, from Instagram to the stage of the Football World Cup, their favorite stars are seen on screens everywhere. Now they don’t crave for their glimpse but can watch it anytime on YouTube. Expecting the big cast to ‘name enough’ can be a nightmare.

In this changing scenario, will 2023 prove to be better than last year? For the answer to this question, we have to wait for the release of the films that will adorn the cinema this year. Here we mention five such films which will prove decisive not only for Bollywood but also for big names.

1. Pathan

Perhaps the biggest adventure of Bollywood this year will be the release of Pathan on January 25. King Khan’s fans are hoping for his comeback from this film. If it turns out to be a failure, Shah Rukh Khan’s career will suffer a huge blow.

Other stars of the film include Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. This action film, directed by Siddharth Anand, has been heavily criticized by leading Hindu extremists. The campaign to boycott ‘Pathan’ is also going on vigorously. By the way, the behavior of Hindu extremists against ‘Lal Singh Chadha’ was similar. So is history going to repeat itself at the box office too?

2. Tiger Three

Bhaijaan will be back with the third installment of Tiger series but the real news is that Katrina Kaif will also grace the screen with him. Yes, Salman and Katrina are going to relive the memories of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ once again.

Tiger 3 created by Yash Raj Films will take the story of the spy world forward. Shah Rukh Khan will also be seen doing an important cameo in the Manish Sharma-directed action flick.

The film will be released in November on the occasion of Diwali, which is highly anticipated by Bhaijaan fans.

Salman Khan’s another film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ is also ready this year. Which is going to be released on April 21. Let’s see which movie of Bhai Jaan shows what miracle.

3. So liar and cunning

Ranbir Kapoor’s fans were disappointed with ‘Shamsheera’ last year, but he made up for it with ‘Brahmastra’. But in the meantime, one thing was waiting that when Ranbir will again be the bad boy romantic as we saw him in his best films. 2023 is going to fulfill this dream.

This year, ‘To Joota Mein Makar’ will be released on March 8. This romantic comedy film is directed by Lu Ranjan who has proved his skills with ‘Pyaar Ka Panchnama’ and is expected to deliver a good film.

So Joota Mein Makar will star Shraddha Kapoor opposite Ranbir Kapoor while Dimple Kapadia and Boney Kapoor are also in the cast.

The film will release in theaters on March 8, 2023.

4. The love story of Rocky and Rani

Ranveer Singh, one of the most popular stars of Bollywood, is not having a good time. Last year they gave another flop in the form of Circus. It is to be seen whether they can convince themselves again with the love story of Rocky and Rani.

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani is a romantic film directed by Karan Johar.

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani is an upcoming Indian Hindi language romance film directed by Karan Johar and produced by Dharma Productions. The film will also feature legendary actors like Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi, but the focus will be on Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt’s chemistry. Earlier, both of them played impressive lead roles in Zoya Akhtar’s musical drama Gully Boy. Let’s see if they can repeat their previous performance in Rocky and Rani’s love story.

The film is slated to release on 28 April 2023.

5. Dinky

Who is looking forward to the film directed by Rajkumar Hirani who has produced masterpieces like Manabhai MBBS, 3 Idiots, PK and Sanju. After a gap of almost five years, he is ready to surprise again with his new film Dinky.

Shah Rukh will be playing the lead role in Dinky which will be released later this year and will be supported by Taapsee Pannu. As the name suggests, the story of the film will revolve around a character who travels to other countries illegally.

Rajkumar Hirani starts a project very thoughtfully and the results are generally encouraging. Let’s see how well they live up to expectations this time.

This story is one that can easily be splashed and inflamed and fun to make fun of Firdous Jamal or Mahira Khan.

Second, the triangle of this story ‘Faisal Qureshi’ is busy saving his life, for which he is doing cleaning and making everyone go round and round.

Recently, senior actor Firdous Jamal said about actress Mahira Khan in a private TV program, “Sorry to anyone, whether it is good or bad, Mahira Khan is not heroine stuff, she is a medium model, she is not a good actress.” And not a good heroine either, sorry to two, for one she is too old. It means that in this age there are no heroines, but the roles of mothers are played.

Now Mahira Khan’s response has not come out but Faisal Qureshi has started giving clarifications on Twitter.

Faisal Qureshi has said that what does it matter if he (Firdous Jamal) thinks so, he (Mahira Khan) is a superstar and I was also shocked by what (Firdous Jamal) said, I meant that the hit “Milni vahi wah mile ‘Ban Roy’ was a hit but a big hit, I praised it a thousand times in my show but no one shared it.”

Now coming to Firdous Jamal, of course he is free to his opinion and has enough success and experience to comment on any big actor or actress.

Firdous Jamal, Abid Ali, Shakeel, Javed Sheikh, Wasim Abbas, Asif Raza Mir, Shafi Muhammad and Rahat Kazmi are among the list of TV superstars of the time who at that time were Bollywood’s Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Rekha. And fought against Sridevi etc. But here it is not a matter of not considering Mahira as a heroine, but the matter of mother’s role is a bit debatable.

He said that there is no personal problem with Mahira Khan but he has never even met her, he said what he understood based on his 50 years of experience and training.

He said that in all the highlights of the movies he has seen, Mahira’s face and acting did not look like a movie. Lives.
