There’s KJo-SRK production My Name is Khan, a totally insane Johnny Depp in Alice in Wonderland and one-man army Denzel in The Book of Eli just to name a few. Oh, did we forget to mention modern-day tin robot Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man 2?
The Book Of Eli: In a post-apocalyptic 2043, a lone hero, Eli (Denzel Washington), guards the Book of Eli, which provides knowledge that could redeem society. The despot (Gary Oldman) of a small, makeshift town plans to take possession of the book. Also in the cast is Mila Kunis who promises to make this lonely face-off a must-watch!

I Love You, Philip Morris: After Sean Penn’s take on homosexuality in Milk, it is now Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey’s turn to experiment with their on-screen sexuality.Based on the real life events of con artist, impostor, and multiple prison escapee Steven Jay Russell (Jim Carrey), this is the story of how Russell escapes from prison four times in order to be reunited with his cellmate Philip Morris (Ewan McGregor) who he’s fallen in love with!

Alice in Wonderland: Tim Burton’s eccentric imagination is out to keep us entertained all over again with his interpretation of Lewis Carrol’s classic tale.

Releasing March 5, 2010.
Teen Patti: Loosely based on Kevin Spacey’s maths-meets-poker picture 21, this movie is very high on our must-watch list for it’s sheer star power.

Iron Man 2: Robert Downey Jr. returns as the coolest superhero after Batman in the sequel to the 2008 Hollywood blockbuster. And this time, Iron Man ain’t alone. With Don Cheadle (of Ocean’s 11,12 and 13) taking over for Terence Howard as Warmachine and Samuel L. Jackson appearing as Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D.

Ramu and Big B are also making Rann. Of course, after RGV’s Aag, it wouldn’t qualify as a must-watch right now!
