If you discount Vikram Bhatt's 1921, then there are 2 films that can make you look for a 50 paise coin so that you can TOSS it and decide which one to Head to!

Akshat Verma's Kaalakaandi -
Written and Directed by the same guy who wrote Delhi Belly, this film seems interesting. But I know what you must be thinking. Saif Ali Khan??? Sure Shot Flop hai! Woh toh hogi hi. Uski Kalaa hi picture ke saath Kaandi kar deti hai. But then Vijay Raaz and Dipak Dobriyal hai naa.. Sambhaal lengay. I have a feeling that though this film is trying too hard, it might just be a fun quirky caper.
Anurag Kashyap's Mukkabaaz :
Anurag Kashyap's Mukkabaaz :
It's Anurag Kashyap. He had got a great cast. He has cut a brilliant trailer. So I am expecting another over-indulgent BO flop. But then he does spring a surprise once in a while. I am just hoping he doesn't give in to his instincts of going over-board in terms of gimmickry and sticks to powerful storytelling. If that happens, Mukkabaaz could be the KO punch Kashyap has been waiting for at the BO!

Weren't you surprised by the trailer? I was too. With Kay Kay Menon at the helm, this is bound to be an interesting watch! So if you haven't missed any film from the previous week, you can give this one a shot. It might turn out to be the 'Samay' of 2018 - i.e. an above average thriller. Else, headache bachaane ke liye do chaar Vodka maarke jaana!

And then there is a the Republic day trif#cta! Until last week it was supposed to be a 2 horse race, but now the Karni Sena has started sharpening their talwaars waiting for this day!

Bhansali's Padmavat (i) :
With so much drama already having played out, this film will surely set the box office on fire - one way or the other!!! And with so many saffron flags going up , it would be interesting to see if Bhansali gets a green flag from the audience. Mera toh Shahid Kapoor ko dekhke hi mood kharaab ho gaya!
R Balki's Padman :
R Balki's Padman :
You can call this Akshay Kumar's Yearly National Award Clickbait! Based on an inspirational true story, this seems to be a fitting followup to Toilet. And with R.Balki at the helm, we can expect a half decent film. Though Akshay Kumar's TED talk does seem a bit hammy, I hope Balki does a sanitary check on Akshay's hamming proclivities, so that the film stay's free of jingoism.
That's it for January. Hai naa ekdum JaanLeva Jan! It's chock-a-block. But which ones will become blockbusters and which ones will be blocked or busted, is yet to be seen... I have made my picks. What about you? Do comment to let me know.
