From gripping crime thrillers to hilarious coming-of-age stories and nostalgia-infused comedy dramas, there is unlimited entertainment in store.

CALL ME BAE
Release Date: September 6, 2024 (Amazon Prime)
Directed By:  Colin D'Cunha
Starring: Ananya Panday, Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood

The upcoming series Call Me Bae channels the charm of Alexis Rose from Schitt’s Creek, the quirkiness of Beth Behrs from 2 Broke Girls, and the sass of Aisha Kapoor from Aisha—all rolled together in its lead—Bella Chowdhury, aka Bae. Spinning the classic rags-to-riches story on its head, the show follows the life of Bae, played by our very own desi Alexis Rose–Ananya Panday. Talking about the show, producer Karan Johar said in a statement, “While there have been many stories that follow the rags-to-riches trope, Call Me Bae offers a fresh twist by turning the genre on its head. It centers around a young woman from a privileged background, where extravagance was a birthright, who, due to unforeseen circumstances, must now navigate life on her own and hustle and reinvent herself in the bustling city of Mumbai. This series presents a modern coming-of-age story with a playful, comedic edge that will captivate audiences across India and globally.” So, be ready for a whirlwind of laughter, tears, and a whole lot of Bae!

THE BUCKINGHAM MURDERS
Release Date: September 13, 2024 (Amazon Prime)
Directed By:  Hansal Mehta
Starring: Kareena Kapoor Khan, Keith Allen, Ranveer Brar

A thrilling ride awaits as The Buckingham Murders, the latest crime thriller from director Hansal Mehta, gears up to hit the marquee.  Headlined by the feisty Kareena Kapoor Khan, the film has caught the fancy of moviegoers ever since its announcement. Kareena will be seen playing a British-Indian detective and a grieving mother investigating the disappearance of an Indian-origin kid in the film. The recently dropped teaser oozes with suspense and promises to keep you on the edge of your seat. Kareena, who is also co-producing the movie along with Ektaa Kapoor, expressed her excitement to be part of this film; she said in an interview, “I think I loved playing that part because this is the first time I am playing a detective, and I am a huge crime drama fan. It’s a career-defining role for me and one of my best characters.” So, block your dates because this is one thriller you won’t want to miss. 

JIGRA
Release Date: October 11, 2024
Directed By: Vasan Bala
Starring: Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina, Aditya Nanda

Alia Bhatt, the powerhouse of talent, is back to light up the big screen with her second production venture—Jigra. Although the plot details remain under wraps, the film’s motion poster, with the tagline, ‘A fierce journey to protect your own… your jigra!’ hints at a deep brother-sister bond, with the story centered around a sister’s love for her brother and her willingness to do anything to protect him. Directed by the talented Vasan Bala, Jigra promises to be more than just a run-of-the-mill Bollywood saga. Alia’s film choices have always surprised us—in a good way, and if her previous production, Darlings, is any indication, Jigra will be a refreshing departure from the ordinary.  Speaking about the film, Alia shared, “What I can tell you about it is that it is releasing on October 11, 2024. I had a wonderful time working with Vasan Bala. He has the perfect balance of cool and nostalgia.” Well, when a director and an actor of this caliber team up, one can expect nothing less than excellence.

Announcing the release date in a playful video, Triptii Dimri shared on her social media, “‘Get ready to rewind to the retro era with #VickyVidyaKaWohWalaVideo.
