Movies to look forward to in May 2015

We are into the 5^th month of the year and so is the vacation time. This month has a good number of releases and most of them have been highly anticipated about. Here is a run through of the movies to look forward to in the month of May this year.

Gabbar Is Back

Starring Akshay Kumar and Shruti Haasan in the main lead, Gabbar Is Back, was the 1^st film to release this month. Dealing with the issue of corruption, the movie had made quite an impact on the audience. The posters and trailer were quite impactful, but the movie has seemed to impress some whereas some haven't appreciated it. The movie has managed to gather 45cr. as of now.

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai sees Ram Kapoor and Sunny Leone in the main leads. Releasing on the 8^th of May, the story is about a 40 something man who has a fetish for a Bollywood diva Shanaya. The trailer seems like the movie is fun-filled one and a laughter riot. We are used to watching Ram Kapoor in sophisticated roles, but this one presents him a completely different avatar with a much more comical aspect to it. It would also be Sunny Leone's 1^st comedy film.

Piku

One of the most highly anticipated movies, Piku also releases on 8^th May. The movie is based on a Father-Daughter relationship. Well what more can one say when you have a plethora of phenomal actors like, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan; lead by an ace director like Shoojit Sircar.

Bombay Velvet

Releasing on 15^th May, Bombay Velvet is directed by Anurag Kashyap. The movie is set in the 60s era, and Anurag seems to have left no stone unturned to recreate the bygone era. It also marks Karan Johar's debut in Bollywood. Even though he is seen a small role in DDLJ, this one is 1^st major role that too in a negative character. Bombay Velvet also stars Anushka Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor in the leads.

Welcome To Karachi

This fun filled film is set to release on 21^st May. Arshad Warsi, Jackky Bhagnani and Lauren Gottileb will be seen playing pivotal characters in the film. The movie is about two friends who end up in Pakistan in an effort to reach the US. The trailer itself is a laughter riot so one could expect an out and out comedy, family entertainer.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns

This one is the sequel to Tanu Weds Manu. It has retained its original cast of R. Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut. The film's trailer seems to be equally entertaining as the earlier version. Lets hope this one lives up to our expectations.
