A still from Badlapur, Qissa, Whiplash and Wild.
Bollywood has two treats for movie fans today with Sriram Raghvan's revenge thriller
Badlapur and
Qissa, starring Irrfan Khan.
Badlapur extracts Varun Dhawan from his comfort zone of rom-coms and casts him as a 40-year-old in search of his wife's killer. The film co-stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi and Yami Gautam.
The second Bollywood offering is Irrfan Khan's
Qissa, which tells the tale of a displaced Sikh family after the partition of 1947.
The creme de la creme of Hollywood is also on offer for Indian audience. This week's releases include Oscar-nominated film
Whiplash. The film is about the relationship between a young drummer (Miles Teller) and his mentor (JK Simmons) who will stop at nothing to realize a student's potential.
The other Hollywood biggie releasing this week is
Wild, which earned its actresses Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nominations at the Oscars.
Other films up for release are
Monsoon, Bandipotu, Fireman and
Sandamarutham.
