For the first time in many years, Bollywood will witness some big-ticket releases with huge star-power all in the month of January, generally considered a ‘jinx’ for the industry, writes Justin Rao<\/strong>.

From megastar #AmitabhBachchan, action hero #SunnyDeol, superstar #AkshayKumar to filmmaker #RajkumarHirani, all are set to release their films in the first month of 2016, leading to many clashes at the box office.<\/p>\n

The year will begin with “Wazir,” starring Bachchan and actor Farhan Akhtar. The high voltage drama-thriller is produced by filmmaker #VidhuVinodChopra and helmed by “Shaitan” director #BejoyNambiar.<\/p>\n

“#Wazir” will clash with the social-drama “#Chauranga,” produced by Onir and starring actor #SanjaySuri, #TannishthaChatterjee among others.<\/p>\n

It will be followed by “#GhayalOnceAgain,” releasing on January 15, which has been directed, written and produced by Deol. It is the sequel to the 1990 super-hit action drama “#Ghayal” and will mark the comeback of Deol who starred in the iconic role of amateur boxer Ajay Mehra.<\/p>\n

The date will also mark the return of actress #JuhiChawla, who will make a come back after two years with “#ChalknDuster.” The film, which brings life of two teachers, also stars veteran actress #ShabanaAzmi, #ZarinaWahab and #DivyaDutta.<\/p>\n

These two films will witness another clash at the box office with Akshay’s “Airlift” and the adult comedy “Kyaa Kool Hai Hum 3,” releasing on January 22.<\/p>\n

Based on the evacuation of Indians based in Kuwait during the Iraq-Kuwait war, “Airlift” marks Akshay’s second consecutive release in January after his last year’s espionage-drama “Baby,” while “Kyaa Kool Hai Hum 3” is the third installment in the hugely popular adult-comedy series “#KyaaKoolHaiHum.”<\/p>\n

It stars actors Tusshar Kapoor, Aftab Shivdasani among others.<\/p>\n

The month will end with yet another adult-comedy clashing with a big-star film. Sunny Leone-starrer “Masdtizaade” and R. Madhavan’s “Saala Khadoos” will release on January 29.<\/p>\n

Produced by Rajkumar Hirani, “Saala Khadoos” is a bilingual sports drama film helmed by debutant Sudha Kongara.<\/p>\n

The film features Madhavan as a hard taskmaster boxing coach and also stars boxer Ritika Singh.<\/p>\n

“Mastizaade” stars Leone in a double role and also features actor Tusshar Kapoor and Vir Das.<\/p>\n

The year 2015 saw many releases in January too, from Arjun Kapoor’s “Tevar,” Bipasha Basu’s “Alone,” to Ayushmann Khurrana’s “Hawaizaada.” But it was only “Baby” which was successful.<\/p>\n

In the past, few films have worked at the box office during January which is considered a lull period as viewers are still in the holiday mood.<\/p>\n

In January 2014, it was only superstar Salman Khan’s “Jai Ho” that worked decently at the box office and was the solo big release.<\/p>\n

While in 2013 it was “Race 2” which was successful among other releases like “Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Man Dola,” “Inkaar” and “Akaash Vani.”<\/p>\n

With January, 2016 offering an attractive line up of films for the audiences, it will be interesting to see if the star-studded month can finally break the jinx and deliver good at the box office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
