28 Most Awaited Bollywood (Hindi) Movies of 2015!

Year 2014 saw release of around 200 significant films at box office. But out of that wide count only around 22 films which showed pluses to makers, distributors and exhibitors. Yes, success ratio is very low, but that's been the case for Bollywood in recent years. Still film count is growing every year and another jam packed 2015 is on cards.

2015 will be also a significant year as far as Hindi films are concerned. However this year we will miss 2 big star Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik is very much busy with Mohenjo Daro. Aamir may have an outside chance of a release in Christmas this year, but that also is very very remote looking at the progress. Apart from them all the other leading stars will have releases in 2015. Shah Rukh Khan is having a single release this year in Fan. But there are murmurs that he might have another in Rohit Shetty's next in Christmas this year. His another biggie Raees is also looking remote now to release in 2015. Honestly chances are remote for SRK to have more than one release this year.

So, here are below our pick of 28 films which are most likely to release before the year ends and whose buzz is good among the audiences. We have taken in consideration film star cast, director, production value, feedback from exhibitors, release dates and thus given a ranking. This is just our prediction and anything can happen as year 2014 saw. Who knows a film may shoot up from anywhere and become one of the biggest Hits of 2015, may be that film is not in the list of our picks. On the other side who knows a biggie might crash badly and will not fulfill its true potential in coming days.

So, here's our pick of 28 films which are most awaited of the year [Only Confirmed films which are set to release in 2015 are considered]. 

28. NH10. NH10 is the first production of Anushka Sharma. She will also playing the lead role in the film. Year 2014 saw many women oriented films like Queen, Mary Kom, Mardaani to become Hit at box office. Definitely NH10 might be another Queen at box office in 2015. We have high hopes from the film. Prediction - Potential of grossing 40-50 crore nett with Good Content.

27. Detective Byomkesh Bakshy. Film is generating good buzz and film content is bound to be good considering it is based on detective Byomkesh Bakshy. Film has a decent star cast in Sushant Singh Rajput and a good director in Dibakar Banerjee. Prediction - 40-50 crore nett with decent content.

Starcast - Sushant Singh Rajput

Director - Dibakar Banerjee

Producer - Bhushan Kumar

Banner - T-Series

26. Mastizaade. Mastizaade should be an entertaining fun film and is termed a sexcom of 2015. With sultry Sunny Leone starring in the film apart from Tusshar Kapoor, film is looking certain to be a Hit at box office. Grand Masti of same genre went onto become a big Hit and why not Mastizaade be the next. Prediction - 40-60 crore nett

Starcast - Sunny Leone, Tusshar Kapoor

Director - Milap Zaveri

Producer - Pritish Nandy

Banner - Pritish Nandy Communications

Release Date - 1st May, 2015.

25. All Is Well. There is not much known about the film apart from the star cast and director. But looking at the face value film should do business anywhere between 40-60 crore nett.

Starcast - Emraan Hashmi

Director - Danis Tanovic

22. Tevar. Although Arjun Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha is riding high on recent successes , still we have put Tevar Rank as 22 in the list. Many will argue that Tevar should be much higher in the list. But after going through the buzz and feedback of exhibitors, Tevar will have difficulty becoming a big grosser at box office. Reason film is sandwiched in PK wave and release of Baby. Still hope that film prove us wrong and be a big success. Prediction - 50-70 crore nett. Lifetime Business - 38.5-38.75 crore nett (expected). Around 20 crore less than predicted level.

Producer - Divya Khosla Kumar, Bhushan Kumar

Starcast - Emraan Hashmi

Director - Vikram Bhatt

Producer - Mahesh Bhatt

14. Bombay Velvet. Looking at the stellar star cast film should have been in easily top 10 films of the year. But Bombay Velvet misses that and there are reasons to that. Recent poor performance of Anurag Kashyap as director. He makes different films from regular ones, but at same time audiences are starting to give his films a miss. Looking at all the factors Bombay Velvet will have tough time to race to hundred. Prediction - 70-90 crore nett.

13. Welcome Back.  Welcome is a laugh riot and same is expected from the second installment. Although this time John and Shruti Haasan will join the cast.

Director - Anees Bazmee

Producer - Firoz Nadiadwala

Release Date - 29th May, 2015

12. Gabbar is Back. Gabbar is Back is one of the biggies of 2015. But recently we have seen audiences are starting to give miss to masala films and thus, Gabbar will need good content to go past 100 at box office. If film content is average to poor, then even Akshay Kumar can't save it from sinking at box office. Anyways film will get benefit of May Day release. Prediction - 75-100 crore nett.

He is well known for films like Kabul Express, New York and Ek Tha Tiger. So, many are looking to his next in Phantom. Apart from that there is Katrina also in the film. Film will definitely be shot in Grand Scale. Prediction - 75-100 crore nett.
