Bollywood is yearning for big hit films this year. 6 months of the year have passed. So far more than 30 films have been released, but except Fighter, no film has been able to earn more than 300 crores.
However, 7 films are going to be released in July including Ajay Devgan's Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha (5 July) and Akshay Kumar's Sarfira (12 July). The audience is also waiting for Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 which is releasing on 12 July. Kill, Wild Wild Punjab, Bad News and Ryan will also release in July. After this, the makers of Stree 2, Veda, Singham Again and Baby John are also expecting big earnings.
In the coming months, there will be a South tadka for the audience. Apart from Devara, Pushpa 2, Rajinikanth's action packed Vettaiyan is also going to release. However, Shahrukh, Salman, Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, who have given big hits, are not releasing any film this year.
