Hits or misses?

Here's a quick look at what to expect from Bollywood stars this year.

WHO: Salman Khan
WHERE: Janeman
WHY: Salman Khan is expected to be at his romantic best in Janeman. Directed by Shirish Kunder, Janeman will see Khan at loggerheads with Akshay Kumar as Kumar makes a comeback to the romantic genre after a string of comedies.
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Baabul, Partners and Salaam-e- Ishq: A Tribute To Love.

WHO: Shah Rukh Khan
WHERE: Don
WHY: Shah Rukh Khan plays a double role in this film directed by Farhan Akhtar. That's twice the fun for Khan's fans. Also, the film is a take on the original that had Amitabh Bachchan in the lead. Arjun Rampal, Priyanka Chopra and Isha Koppikar are the other stars in this remake with a twist.
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.

WHO: Hrithik Roshan
WHERE: Krrish
WHY: It's a Rakesh Roshan production and Roshan Jr.'s father is expected to deliver a hat-trick of hits after directing his son in this third venture (the first two were Kaho Naa Pyar Hai and Koi Mil Gaya). Krrish is the sequel to Koi Mil Gaya and the film has Priyanka Chopra in the female lead.
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Dhoom 2 and Akbar-Jodha.

WHO: Kajol
WHERE: Fanah
WHY: Kajol has chosen director Kunal Kohli's Fanah as her comeback vehicle. Her pairing with Aamir Khan is something to watch out for as Kajol has a point to prove after a four-year hiatus. Her last lead role was in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in 2000.
ALSO CATCH HER IN: Yet to be announced.

WHO: Abhishek Bachchan
WHERE: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
WHY: Insiders say Bachchan Jr. steals the show in this Karan Johar venture despite Shah Rukh Khan's presence and chemistry with Johar. It also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherjee.
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Umrao Jaan, Dhoom 2, Fanaah, Sholay and The Namesake.

WHO: Govinda
WHERE: Partners
WHY: David Dhawan's Partners is Govinda's comeback vehicle and since the director-actor duo have some memorable hits to their credit, expect some fireworks here. Salman Khan plays perfect foil to Govinda. Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta are the female leads.
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Salaam-e- Ishq: A Tribute To Love and Ek Haseena Ek Deewana.

WHO: Aishwarya Rai
WHERE: Umrao Jaan

WHO: Amitabh Bachchan
WHERE: Sholay
WHY: Bachchan Sr's take on a modern day Gabbar Singh (played by the late Amjad Khan in the original) should have eyes riveted on him. And yes, It's a Ram Gopal Varma film.
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Khazan (where he matches histrionics with thespian Dilip Kumar), Eklavya, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Baabul, God: Tussi Great Ho, Zamaanat and Darna Zaroori Hai.

WHY: Bengali actor-turned-director Aparna Sen's film stars Devgan in the title role of a hired assassin. The film stars Sushmita Sen and Konkona Sen Sharma in the female leads. Shabana Azmi has written the dialogues for the film.
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Saamna and Benaam.

WHO: Anil Kapoor
WHERE: Salaam-e- Ishq: A Tribute To Love
WHY: It's one of those rare instances in the actor's career where he will be noted more for his looks than his acting. Kapoor will present a clean shaven visage in Salaam-e- Ishq, more than 15 years after he did away with his moustache while shooting for Lamhe (1991).
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Mazhab: The Religion and Darna Zaroori Hai.

WHO: John Abraham
WHERE: Taxi No 9211
WHY: Abraham has a point to prove ? that he is good at comedy ? especially when Akshay Kumar walked away with the plaudits in Garam Masala. In Taxi No 9211, the actor plays an insurance agent, who has to contest his father's will in court but needs Nana Patekar's cab to get there in time. Patekar plays a cabbie out to con every rich customer into taking the longest ride he can possibly take them on. Directed by Milan Luthria, the film also stars Sameera Reddy and Sonali Kulkarni.
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Baabul, Salaam-e- Ishq: A Tribute To Love and Is Ishq Ko Kya Naam Doon.

ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Fanaah and Mr Mehta and Mrs Singh. It's also the first time in years that Khan has agreed to have more than one film release in a single year.

WHO: Saif Ali Khan
WHERE: Being Cyrus
WHY: Being Cyrus is a humorous take on a Parsi family in Mumbai with Khan playing the lead role of Cyrus Sethna. Debutante director Homi Adajania's film also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Boman Irani and Dimple Kapadia. Khan is a sensation after delivering hits like Hum Tum, Parineeta and Salaam Namaste over the last two years and this film should leave his fans, and him, with smiles on their faces.
ALSO CATCH HIM IN: Omkaara and Eklavya.

WHO: Akshay Kumar
WHERE: Phir Hera Pheri
