AndhaDhun
Release date: 5 October
Cast: Ayushmann Khuranna, Tabu, Radhika Apte
The success of AndhaDhun was rather startling! Sriram Raghavan’s AndhaDhun, sprinkled with sheer brilliance of writing and direction, is what they wanted. AndhaDhun belonged to Ayushmann as the film revolved around his 'blindness'. He shed his image of a romantic hero and delivered a performance he might find challenging to ace. Meanwhile, Tabu as Simi was at her fascinating best. The thriller made a handsome Rs 74.24 crore at the box-office.
Stree
Release date: 31 August
Cast: Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana
Stree offered a slice of supernatural and sitcom that wasn’t misogynistic or bawdy. With its soft feminism, Stree became more than just a horror film. Raj and DK brought their A game, Pankaj Tripathi led an exemplary supporting cast and, of course, Rajkummar Rao stole the show. The scene where he has to look into the banshee’s eyes with love, while he is shitting bricks, will go down as one of the best examples of comedic acting in recent memory.
Badhaai Ho
Release date: 18 October
Cast: Ayushmann Khurrana, Sanya Malhotra, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao
Badhaai Ho is near-perfect cinematically, boasting a crisp screenplay, smart cinematography and editing and winning performances by Ayushmann Khurrana, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao and Surekha Sikri.
