Great Hindi Movies, Coming Up in 2010
2010! It has a pleasant ring to it, doesn't it? It might as well translate into some serious box office jingle.

Chances of that happening look bright. With a series of biggies lined up for release, this new year looks dazzling than ever.

For starters, important films, scheduled for a 2009 release, moved to the year after following a deadlock situation between producers and multiplexes. Secondly, 2010 promises an entertaining mix of intense dramas, fluffy romances, cornball comedies, small-budget artistry, innovative ideas and fresh, untried pairs.

Here's our pick of 10 Hindi films to look forward to in 2010.

My Name is Khan

Rahul and Anjali are back!

Okay, only this time in far more serious skin than ever.

Nothing less than the world is expected from the magical troika of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Karan Johar in My Name is Khan. As the title suggests, MNIK touches the topic of ethnic discrimination wherein SRK plays an individual with Asperger syndrome, residing in post 9/11 US.

Every time the actor plays someone un-larger-than-life, he's proved to be a pleasure. In that sense, it would be interesting to see how he lends himself to My Name is Khan, which is, perhaps, one of his most physically-challenging roles. Plus, it's always a joy to watch one of our best actresses make her return to screen, every now and then.

As for Johar, he is clearly out of his comfort zone here but dabbling with emotions is nothing new to him. The first promos are out and the chemistry is for all to see, doubling the expectations.
