SPECIAL: SRK takes on Salman in 2010







2009 has been an average year with only a handful of films achieving super hit status (we are still awaiting a unanimous blockbuster). While one hopes Paa and 3 Idiots end the year on a high, the focus has shifted to 2010. As always the budgets get bigger but the names top-lining them are pretty much the same. We look at the highs and lows of some 2010's most awaited films.

My Name Is Khan: SRK fans had to make do with a handful of special appearances in 2009. But come 2010 and Shah Rukh Khan is all set to unveil one his most challenging films ever.

High: Directed by Karan Johar and distributed by a Hollywood studio everyone's expecting this biggie to set new international records. SRK also promises to deliver a truly award worthy, unconventional performance. Also KJo is always at his best when he is the captain of the ship.

Low: It's not a regular SRK-Kajol romance that fans are dying to see. Also given its mammoth budget and a slightly overdone theme about Islamic fundamentalism, one wonders if this film will find mass acceptance.

Kites: Like SRK, Hrithik Roshan too has been on a rather long break. His mega hyped salsa romance Kites has been postponed several times due to various reasons. But is now slated for a mid-2010 release.

High: Fans are dying to check out Hrithik-Barbara's smoldering hot chemistry that almost threatened to destroy Roshan's marriage. Apart from all the pre-release hype about the sensuous scenes, it's also wonder boy Roshan's first full-blown dance musical.

Low: One wonders if the Roshans have a concrete plot on their hands and we hope fans aren't served with another Blue in the name of style and gloss.

Veer: Salman Khan had a huge hit with Wanted in 2009. Veer is not only one of his most ambitious projects, he has even co-written the script.

High: Post Wanted it is clear fans want to see him in a brawny avatar and not in those soppy love stories. Veer is period film with plenty of Gladiator style action to keep his fans happy.

Low: Director Anil Sharma is struggling hard to revive his Gadar form. Here's hoping the new and improved Salman Khan makes sure his director doesn't meander into making a meaningless costume drama.

Rajneeti: It's got a stellar cast comprising some of the most powerful actors. To top it all it is reportedly based on the first family of Indian politics.

High: Ranbir-Kat, Bollywood's most Ghazab pair are cast in perhaps their most dramatic roles ever. With their ever-increasing fan following it would be interesting to see some real acting.

Low: Grim and serious subjects are being rejected by audiences. Which is why if Rajneeti gets too heavy on the senses no one might be too interested.
