On January 25, 2023, Pathaan will be released in theaters across the globe in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The film contains a lot of intense action scenes. The makers also released two songs from the film titled ‘Besharam Rang’ and ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’ which feature Deepika all glammed up and Shah Rukh Khan looking as handsome as ever.
- Adipurush
Om Raut, known for his work on films like Lokmanya: Ek Yugpurush and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, is the director of Adipurush. This is his second movie with Saif Ali Khan. Adipurush is based on Ramayan, “India’s timeless epic.” In the epic drama, Saif plays Lankesh, Kriti Sanon portrays Janaki, and Prabhas plays Raghava. When the new trailer for Adipurush was released last year, it created quite a stir on social media. The film was initially slated to release in January. However, now it has been pushed for a June release.
Top Year-End Releases Of 2022
- India Lockdown
Madhur Bhandarkar’s India Lockdown was released three years after the initial 21-day nationwide lockdown i.e. December 2, 2022. The film transports you back to those gloomy circumstances. With four parallel stories highlighting various aspects of human emotions and dilemmas, the filmmaker made an effort to faithfully remake the horrors that everyone felt upon the outbreak of the pandemic.
- Blurr
It is among the must-watch Hindi movies of 2022. It is an official remake of the Spanish film Julia’s Eyes. In the narrative, Gayatri learns of the untimely passing of her blind twin sister. She then struggles with her vision as she attempts to solve the murder’s mystery. Blurr succeeds in maintaining the tension and drama until the very end.
- Chup: Revenge of the Artist
The movie is about a serial killer obsessed with movies. He kills movie critics for their uninformed, damaging, and biased reviews. He punishes them for such reviews as it harms a movie’s chances of success and, consequently, the hard work of the director. This film pays homage to Guru Dutt’s films, particularly the poorly reviewed Kaagaz Ke Phool, which received a great deal of appreciation following Dutt’s death.
