The second quarter of 2015 was much better than the first quarter in terms of box office business. There was the first 100cr film of this year in this quarter. Mostly small budget movies made it big with their wonderful content.
Lets have a quick month wise recap of the Hindi movies in second quarter of 2015.
April
This month was quite low at box office in comparison to the last two months of the 2nd quarter.
The first big release of April was "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy" , a detective thriller directed by Dibakar Banerjee and produced by Yashraaj Films. Everybody was eagerly waiting for the film because of the director and production house. Another attraction was of course Sushant Singh Rajput in the title role. The film got a good opening but the mixed reaction from critics as well as from the audiences limited its final run at the box office to just near about 26 crores.
Another big movie of this month was Sunny Leone starer "Ek Paheli Leela". It had a good
enough dose of adult entertainment provided by the leading lady of course and also the music was quite good and popular, all these factors worked for the movie and it helped the movie to gain around 26 crores which is big enough for such a small movie.
There were several other releases including Paresh Rawal's religion confusion drama "Dharam Shankat Me", Emraan Hashmi's invisible act in "Mr. X" and Kalki Koechlin starer festival favorite "Margarita With A Straw". None of these movies can bring any luck to box office.
May
The month of May got a good start with Akshay Kumar's "Gabbar Is Back". With the star power of Akshay Kumar this movie got a business of 40 crore in first weekend and a overall collection of around 86 crore. As a result it became Akshay Kumar's second hit in a row this year.
The success of "Gabbar" was followed by a small sweet and simple film about a father daughter relationship "Piku". It was directed by Shoojit Sirkar and the main cast has three talented actors Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan and Deepika Padukone. The heart touching emotions, simple story telling , funny dialogues and wonderful acting by the whole cast made this film a favorite among audiences as well as critics. As a result in spite of getting only 5 crore opening it earned a total of around 80 crores at the box office and became a big hit.
The third successful film of this month was "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", the sequel to the
2011 rom-com. This time they back with the same team but with more humor and more entertainment. The acting by Kangana Ranaut in her double role grabs everyone's attention.
This movie was loved so much by the audience and critics that it became the first 100 cr hit of this year and the biggest hit so far with a collection of 150 crore.
There were some disasters in this month like Sunny Leone's adult comedy "Kuchh Kuchh Locha Hai" and Vasu Bhagnani's yet another attempt to relaunch his son Jacky, "Welcome To Karachi". But the biggest disaster of this month and probably of this year was "Bombay Velvet", the dream project of Anurag Kashyap featuring big stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.
June
The month of June started with a much awaited film "Dil Dhadakne Do" directed by Zoya Akhtar. This was a multi starer which was dealing about the problems of a super rich family.
The film got a good start mostly because of the high level expectations but later the collections kept dropping as it was not up to the mark with the sky high expectations. Still it worked and became an average earner with around 76 crore , mostly because of the performances by Anil kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh.
The second release was "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" , yet another movie with high expectations because of the last big hit by the director Mohit Suri. Unfortunately this time Mohit could not create the magic at the Box office with this romantic movie. It also proves that both Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan have lost the golden touch at the box office.
The third release was "ABCD2" , the sequel to the sleeper hit "ABCD". This 3D dance drama
got the highest opening day collections of 2015 and became much bigger hit than the first part. Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor were once again proved lucky at the box office. The wonderfully choreographed dance sequences worked in favor of the movie and it became a hit with a collection of around 90 crores in just two weeks. even there is a possibility that it can enter in 100 cr club.
On a whole the second quarter have provided some good movies and good amount of money at the box office. We are hopeful about the next quarter which have some big releases lined up to release specially in July on Eid.

Three years ago Ace choreographer Remo D'souza had made India's first dance film that too in 3D taking no big stars but only genuine dancers from reality TV show, and we got a surprise hit ABCD. Being overwhelmed with the surprise success of the movie the same production house and director's team is back once again with its sequel ABCD2. This time it has bigger stars, big sets, larger scale dance performances, larger scale of technology, but the only thing which lacks this time is a story about the bonding of the characters of a dance troupe.
The story is loosely based on the struggle of Suresh and Vernon from Mumbai who made a dance group and became the finalists of big Hip-Hop competition at Las Vegas. The story
starts with a dance competition where Suresh(Varun Dhawan) and his dance group are disqualified for the charges of copying the dance steps from an Youtube video.Very soon Suresh decides to reform his team and to take part in world dance competition for Hip-Hop with his team including his lady love Vinni(Shraddha Kapoor). Very soon they find a mentor in the form of Vishnu Sir (Prabhu Deva). Later their team is joined by other DID stars Dharmesh and Punit(Who were there in the first part too). As expected they win the competition at India level and went to Las Vegas for the world level competition. Here after having some predictable twist and turns, the too much predicable story reaches to its finale after a long 155 minutes.
Overall the story has nothing new to offer. Even the screenplay is also weak and cliche, there is hardly any interaction between the characters specially in the first half. It seems while
writing the screenplay the main motive was to insert song and dance one after another. At one point it may look like you are watching Dance reality show videos on Youtube one after another. Although there is a twist just before the interval which is good. In the second half the story is better than the first half but towards the end again song and dance keeps popping up one after another in a very short gap, which makes the film even lengthier in running time.
But in spite of this if the film grabs your attention that is solely because of the brilliantly choreographed dance sequences , which have been performed by equally brilliant dancers.
As a director Remo D'souza had nothing much to do , rather it was just choreographing more dance sequences for him and he has successfully done that.
Varun Dhawan has proved he is one the finest dancers of today's generation. He shines with his moves even in the group of professional dancers. Shraddha Kapoor too surprises with her wonderful dance moves. She has maintained really well in the group dances, also she impresses in her solo dance in "Sun Sathiya" song. Prabhu Deva once again proved his dancing abilities with his high energy which is hard to match by the other actors who are of half of his age.
The other actors who are mostly professional dancers have danced really well and provided good support in acting department too.
Among the technical team it can be said the cinematography is very nice. The picturisation of the dance sequences is breath taking. The editing could have been much sharper and its length could have been reduced by at least 20 minutes.
Provided it is dance film the music by Sachin-Jigar is not that impressive. The only two songs which are good are the original songs from the first part that is "Bezubaan" and "Sun Sathiya". The other songs have no potential which will make you remember those when you will be out of the theaters.
Overall ABCD2 is a movie which is only about dancing. The story is weaker, the emotion and humor quotient is much less than the first part. But the dance is bigger and better here. So if you love dance then it is a must watch for you.
In 2011 an almost unknown director Anand L Rai made a film that changes the convention of regular Hindi film heroine with the funny bindaas character of Tanuja Trivedi. The film was a sleeper hit. Now after four years when they are back with the sequel by this time Anad L Rai is no more an unknown director and Kangna Ranaut is now at par with the big Bollywood heroines. So obviously there is more expectations with the film and the good news is this actually fulfills all the expectations as it is better than its prequel.
Like a true sequel it starts with the point from where the first movie was ended which was
marriage of Tanu(Kangna Ranaut) and Manu (R. Madhavan). Then the story moves forward four years and it shows how the post marital life of Tanu and Manu is not so happy. They are going through a bad phase of post marital life which turns out so bad that the situation goes to divorce. In this moment both of them gets separated and try to find some refreshment in their monotonous life. While Tanu tries to patch up with her ex-lover Raja Awashthi(Jimmy Shergil) , Manu finds a young haryanvi college student Datto (Kangna Ranaut) who is a look alike of Tanu with a small change in teeth setting and hair style.
The situation becomes more complicated when Manu falls in love once gain and decides to marry with Datto. Now Tanu wants to go back to her husband while , her husband Manu
wants to move on with Datto and it creates a love triangle. What happens at the end is a bit predictable but still its engaging.
There are other interesting characters too who are back from the first part like Manu and Tanu's parents and their friends Jassi(Eizaz Khan) , Payel(Swara Bhaskara) and Puppy Jee(Deepak Dobriyal). All of them adds more interest to the drama along with new added characters like Chintu (Mohd. Zeeshan Ayub).
The screenplay written by Himangshu Sharama is a winner once again. The small town background and the characters are very much interesting. The story unfolds very well and adds too much humor in the first half. The second half looks a bit stretched specially because of too much songs still it does not dampen the spirit of the film because by that time the audience is already in love with the characters.
The dialogues written by Sharma are extraordinary, its hilarious and keeps the story interesting.
As a director Anand L Rai has done an excellent job. His story telling is very engaging and all the characters have been presented superbly so that all of them will be loved by the audiences.
Among the star cast every one is superb but who steals the show is none other than the queen of Bollywood Kangana Ranaut. It is one of the finest job in Bollywood by any actor
in a double role. The way she has portrayed the characters of Tanu and Datto will make you speechless. Both the characters are so distinct in mannerism , body language, dialogue delivery that it never looks like a single actress has played both the characters. While the old charming Tanu is still endearing its Datto the national level athlete from Haryana who will make you fall in love with her.
R. Madhavan has under played the character of Dr. Manu Sharma very well. His character ranges from a frustrated husband too a confused lover and he has portrayed all the emotions perfectly.
Another actor who deserves a special mention is Deepak Dobriyal as Puppy jee the sidekick of Manu. His comic timing is just superb. Every time he comes on screen he brings laughter on audience's faces. Jimmy Shergil is also impressive as Raja Awashthi. his punch lines have solid impression.
The music is not so strong here. Only song that works is "Banno" , the rest of the songs are just okay. And it has to be said there is a overdose of songs in second half which makes the film look a bit stretched in last few minutes, so the songs do not work much in the movie.
Among the technical team who deserves special mention are Hemal Kothari for his sharp editing , Chirantan Das for the superb camera work and Wasiq Khan for his authentic production design.The costumes for Kangna, designed by Reza Shariffi is stylish and goes very well with the character.
Overall it is an engaging film about post marital relationship with lots of humor and some emotional moments. Go and have fun with the gang of wonderful actors lead by Miss Ranaut in her two avatars.
So far so many stories has been written, told and even pictured in films about the controversial and much talked about relationship between Rabindranath Tagore and his sister-in-law Kadambari Devi , wife of Jyotirindranath Thakur. But what makes director Suman Ghosh's latest film "Kadambari" different from the already told stories is that it has been told with the point of view of Kadambari ,not through the eyes of more popular personality Rabindranath Thakur. It is about Kadambari, her life in Jorasanko thakurbari, her love, her anger, her passion, her loneliness , her pain.
The story starts with small girl Kadambari's entry at Jorasanko Thakurbari after her
marriage with Jyotirindranath Thakur. At this young age little Kadambari tries her best to fit at her husband's house as a good housewife but her young mind is in search of a friend with whom she can enjoy her childhood and she found that friend in her young brother-in-law Rabi. Soon Kadambari and Rabindranath finds good friend in each other as young kids. But with their growing age the equations between them keeps changing. When grown they grow up, Rabindranath finds his inspiration in Kadambari for writing but Kadambari starts developing soft corner for Rabindrandranath. Though in their relationship , they never crossed their limits it was just a mutual respect and affection for each other. But with the growing popularity of Rabindranath , Kadambari starts feeling insecure about loosing her only hope in her lonely life , Rabi. Later the situation goes in such a way that one by one Kadambari looses every hope to live and she decides to commit suicide.
The screenplay has been written quite well to tell the complicated relationship without stretching it too much. The other characters are there but their track has not been given too much importance which reduces the length of the film. The cultural background of Thakurbari has been shown very well through addas about books and songs. There are some instances about the influence of British culture too.
Suman Ghosh who has worked on stories related with Rabindranath earlier too has treated the controversial subject quite well. Its his representation that while watching it, you can not judge who is right or who is wrong morally. Also when a periodic film is made, a lot of detailing is required to recreate the period and Suman Ghosh's eye for periodic detailing is praiseworthy.
Among the main cast it is Konkona Sensharma who has given a real feeling to every emotion of Kadambari on screen. Her dialogue delivery and body language is just perfect for her character. You can see the pain and loneliness of Kadambari in her eyes. Her silent affection for Rabindranath has been portrayed quite well. There is no doubt, it is one of her career best performance.
Parambrata Chattopadhyay looks perfect as Rabindranath,with long hair and beard . But acting wise he is just okay. He does not have much scope and even where he gets a scope he could not deliver it up to the mark specially when his co-actress is superb.
Always dependable actor Koushik Sen is good and natural as Jyotirindranath Thakur. His expressions are very real , watch him in the scenes where he is uncomfortable for the closeness between his brother and wife but still he can not say anything about it.
Titas Bhowmick is good as Gyonadanandini. Shreelekha Mitra impresses in one scene appearance as Nati Binodini.
The technical team has an added responsibility when they work on a periodic film to represent the period perfectly. The camerawork is nice. Production design is authentic and the costumes are also look well researched. The editing in first half could have been better as in few scenes the jump from one scene to another looks very disjointed.
Provided its a film related to Rabindranath Tagore and Rabindra snageets have been used , it can be said the music could have been better with some better song selection. Only song that works is Vidyapati song "Mah Bhadar". The background score is just okay.
Overall it is well made film about an emotional relationship and with the truth behind the controversy around it. Watch it to know the truth and to see the brilliant acting of Konkona Sensharma in the title role.
After "Vicky Donor" director Shoojit Sircar and story writer Juhi Chaturvedi are back once again with a slice of life comedy about family relationship and emotions and also motions too. Its very well presented film about the relationship between a father and daughter with some solid performances.
The story begins in a family where a 70 year old widower Bhaskor Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan) lives with his 30 year old daughter Piku(Deepika Padukone). Bhaskor is a bit irritating old man with constipation problem. His behavior is very annoying towards his
relatives, his domestic help , his neighbors. Piku is also very much moody , and always fights with her father. She is frustrated with his father's tantrums. But still the father daughter duo lives together and enjoys being with each other because they love each other too much. Piku is very much conscious about his father's health as she don't want her father to die soon on the other hand Bhaskor don't want her daughter to live her getting married. He is so adamant to stop Piku from getting married that even he does not hesitate to tell a guy that his daughter is not a virgin just to distract that guys attention from her daughter. In such a situation one day this father daughter meet with Rana Choudhary (Irrfan Khan) a taxi service provider from Delhi, who helps the father daughter duo in their journey from Delhi to Kolkata by driving the car. During this journey Rana comes to know the emotions of them and their keen interest about motion and he teaches them a new way to look into the solutions of their age old problem related to constipation. Also he brings a refreshing change to their philosophy about life.
There is nothing much about the story but the way the screenplay has been written by Juhi Chaturvedi, makes it very interesting. The day to day monotonous life of the father and
daughter looks very interesting and the involvement of their relatives also adds some extra entertainment. During the road journey too it could have been a boring long journey but Rana's humorous touch makes it a joy ride. In the second half though the laugh quotient is little less but it was required to draw a conclusion to the story. The climax is a bit slow but it will surely touch your heart.
Juhi Chaturvedi's dialogues are superb and generates laughter every now and then. Specially the dialogues related to constipation problem and the wide range of discussion about poop is very funny.
As a director Shoojit Sircar has done a commendable job. He has chosen a very strange subject and handled it quite well without stretching it too much. As a responsible captain of the ship, he has made sure every person in his cast and crew does the perfect job.
About the actors it can be said each and everyone is just perfect. Only Amitabh Bachhan can make such an irritating character of Bhaskor Banerjee into a loved one. Watch his impromptu jig to the tunes of Bengali song "Jeebane ki pabo na" or in the scene where he
decides to go back to Delhi all of sudden in the middle of the road.
Irrfan Khan is always a delight to watch. He is such a brilliant actor and his comic timing is extraordinary. Even when he is not speaking any dialogue he can make his presence felt with his priceless expressions. Watch him in the scene where he is sitting speechless in the middle of Banerjee family's discussion about their every morning bowel activity.
But the actor who will impress you the most is Deepika Padukone in the title role. She has got a character with enough scope to showcase her talent and she has grabbed this opportunity with full attention. She looks very nice in her deglamorized avatar. She is simply wow in every scene whether she is shouting at her father or she is in tension for her father's health issues or when she is showing her secret affection towards Rana. In every scene she outshines even with the presence of two great actors around her.
The chemistry between Irrfan and Deepika is also very pleasant to watch.
Among the other cast members it is Mousumi Chatterjee as Piku's straight forward foul mouthed aunt. She is brilliant in her small screen appearance.
The music is by Anupam Roy who has made his Bollywood debut as composer with this film. The songs are mostly used in background and it goes very well with the mood of the film. The background score by him also soothing to ears.
The technical team is also in good form. Kamaljeet Negi's camera work is fantastic throughout the journey from Delhi to Varanasee to Kolkata. Chandrashekhar Prajapati’s editing is terrific.
Overall its a film about motions and emotions of relationship and it will surely touch your heart. Go and enjoy the journey with the characters who will win your heart with their powerful performances. It is one of the finest film in recent past which you can enjoy with your whole family.
A mirror image , a tree , a bitch and a corpse all are silent but another thing is common in them is that they all are in love and they can express their love louder than someone having voice. After giving back to back success at box office and winning hearts of both classes and masses Srijit Mukherji is back with a truly unconventional film "Nirbaak". Four stories joined together with a common theme of love between two individuals where one of them is silent. It is a wonderful concept and have been presented on the silver screen without any commercial compromise. That is the reason it may not appeal to everyone but whoever will be able to connect with it will surely love the film.
It is a combination of four stories. In the first one a man who is in love with himself , he
loves his own mirror image have lust for own self. In the second one a tree wants express its love for the lovely lady who use to spend time under its shadow. In the third one it is the love for a domestic bitch for her master. And in the last one a morgue care taker falls in love with a dead body. All the stories are genuine and have its own specialty. Where in the first and last story the love has been shown from the point of view of the characters able to speak the rest of the two stories has been told from the point of view of the silent characters. The screenplay has been written so well that the story shift from one to another very smoothly. Every story has its own form of expressing love from lust to care to faithfulness to respect.
Although the concept of love here is very different from regular love between a man and a woman and it may not appeal to some section of audiences. But it can be said that even using minimum dialogue this film silently conveys its message to its target audiences.
Special credit should be given to the director Srijit Mukherji for taking such a brave attempt to make a film on such a risky subject that too when he is in the peak of his career. He has presented the film the exact way it has been conceptualized , there is no compromises for giving it more commercial appeal. It is actually not a regular film rather its a poetry in motion presented on silver screen by the director.
The cast has mainly four actors and everyone is just wonderful. Anjan Dutta as the self obsessed person is brilliant. The way he has performed his scenes with his mirror image
it looks like we are watching two actors performing together. Also it needs to be mentioned as an actor he has no inhibition portraying his sexual desires on screen and that is commendable. Sushmita Sen is a delight to watch in his debut Bengali movie. She has emoted a lot with her big expressive eyes. She looks gorgeous and performs really well. She is fabulous specially in the last story. Sometime consciously giving no expression is also a tough job and she handles it quite well.
Jishu Sengupta is natural in his acting and he has underplayed his character very well to let the other characters around him shine more. Ritwick Chakraborty is no doubt one of the best actors of Bengali cinema in present generation and he has proved it once again. Though he has been given a role quite similar to some other characters he had played earlier but still we he never looks like repeating himself. His body language and mannerisms are very authentic as per his character of a worker at a morgue.
Also it should be mentioned the bitch who has played Bingi the pet of Jishu Sengupta has also performed quote well.
Srijit Mukherji knows to take the best work from his technical team and here too it is not an exception. The cinematography by Soumik Halder is too good. The way he has given different textures for different stories it shows his talent. Same can be said for the editing by Pranay Dasgupta for jumping from one story to another so smoothly.
There is no regular song but the music used in background is very pleasant. The background music created by Neel Dutta feels the silence and provides the required emotions for the scenes on screen. In the last story, the way old Hindi movie songs has been used in background , it is commendable.
Overall "Nirbaak" is a film made with honesty for a certain section of audience only. It will not have the commercial fate like other Srijit Mukherjee film but we want to congrats Srijit Mukherji for doing something only in response of his inner voice.
"Belasheshe" is a kind movie which will be with you even after coming out of theater. It will force you to ask some questions about your own relationships, it will help you to bind strong your own personal relationship that too very simply without giving any gyaan.
It is a story of an aged couple Biswanath Majumdar(Soumitra Chattopadhyay) and Aarti Majumdar(Swatilekha Sengupta) who are married for long 49 years managing their
relationship and family quite well. They have three daughters and one son, all of them are married and have bitter sweet marital life. All of a sudden one day Biswanath decides to give divorce to his wife to live an independent life alone. It creates lots of chaos in the whole family , lots of unwanted question arises as every single member of the family wants to know the reason behind this. But Biswanath is not ready to answer any question from his family members. Finally the divorce case goes to court and as per Judge's suggestion they decides to go for an outing at Shantiniketan to spend some quality time with each other , to rediscover their relationship. They took their whole family too along with them. While in Shantiniketan the couple realizes how they have became a habit to each other , that they cant be independent without each other , they have lots queries, anger , unanswered questions against each other, they think they are with each other for so long just taking it as a responsibility but ultimately they discover that this so called responsibility of them is the true love between them.
Just like the director duo's last movies this time also the story is very simply told taking each character from the day to day world around us. It never tries to give high drama or intense dialoguebaaji, still it connects with you with some simple questions about how strong your relationship is with your loved ones. Like when was the last time you had given time for someone closer to you? When was the last time you had hold his/her hand? These are the simple questions which have a major impact. Another good thing is that the story moves in a gentle pace it never looks too hurried to come to a conclusion because breaking or making a relationship takes time its not an instant thing.
The screenplay has been written with good care, not only the main story of the aged couple but the other four post marital stories of their kids also moves very well parallely. Another good point of the script is it deals with the such a serious subject without giving it a depressed tone, there is enough of crying and emotional moments but at the same time there is good enough dose of funny moments too which will keep you laughing in between.
As director the director duo Shiboprasad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy has handled the subject quite well. First of all they should be given big thumbs up for choosing such an unconventional subject about a 70+ married couple who are trying to rediscover their relationship. Each character and the backdrop of the story is very much convincing and syncs well with the story and it shows the perfection of the director duo.
About the cast members it can be said every actor has been perfectly cast in their corresponding on screen characters. Soumitra Chatterjee is awesome in the lead after a long
time. No matter how old he is , still he is one of the finest actors of Bengali film industry.
Swatilekha Sengupta is another veteran actor who has shined as the leading lady of the film. From the first scene to the last one she is natural as the responsible homemaker. There is no doubt her performance is the finest among the whole cast.
Among the other members Kharaj Mukherjee is too good as the elder son-in-law of the family. His comic timing is superb. Every time he appears on screen, he brings out laughter on your face. Rituparna Sengupta is also good as the second daughter of the house. Her portrayal of the young independent woman is wonderful.
Shankar Chakraborty, Indrani Gupta, Anindya Chatterjee , Monami Ghosh are good in their supportive roles. Sohini Sengupta is awesome in her one scene appearance. Sohag Sen and Barun Chanda are also good in their cameos.
The technical team has done a good job keeping it simple in sync with the story. The technical team's work is not too loud too seek attention but it goes well with the story. Cinematography by Gopi Bhagat is eye soothing specially the portions shot in the scenic beauty of Shantiniketan. The only department that could have done a little better job is the editing. The first half of the film looks a bit stretched for some long continuous scenes. It could have been shortened a bit in the first half.
The music has been mostly used in background and it works very well with the different moods of the song situations. The duo of Anupam Roy and Anindya Chatterjee has created nice melodious songs.
Overall it is a simply told story about rediscovering your relationships with someone very close to you. It has been told from heart and so it connects with the heart. Go and watch it with your loved one and surely it will bond your relationship even stronger.
The first big release of April was "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy" , a detective thriller directed by Dibakar Banerjee and produced by Yashraaj Films. Everybody was eagerly waiting for the film because of the director and production house. Another attraction was of course Sushant Singh Rajput in the title role. The film got a good opening but the mixed reaction from critics as well as from the audiences limited its final run at the box office to just near about 26 crores. 
enough dose of adult entertainment provided by the leading lady of course and also the music was quite good and popular, all these factors worked for the movie and it helped the movie to gain around 26 crores which is big enough for such a small movie.
The success of "Gabbar" was followed by a small sweet and simple film about a father daughter relationship "Piku". It was directed by Shoojit Sirkar and the main cast has three talented actors Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan and Deepika Padukone. The heart touching emotions, simple story telling , funny dialogues and wonderful acting by the whole cast made this film a favorite among audiences as well as critics. As a result in spite of getting only 5 crore opening it earned a total of around 80 crores at the box office and became a big hit.
2011 rom-com. This time they back with the same team but with more humor and more entertainment. The acting by Kangana Ranaut in her double role grabs everyone's attention.
The month of June started with a much awaited film "Dil Dhadakne Do" directed by Zoya Akhtar. This was a multi starer which was dealing about the problems of a super rich family. 
got the highest opening day collections of 2015 and became much bigger hit than the first part. Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor were once again proved lucky at the box office. The wonderfully choreographed dance sequences worked in favor of the movie and it became a hit with a collection of around 90 crores in just two weeks. even there is a possibility that it can enter in 100 cr club.
