Move over IPL !!! Time for some movies !!!!

With curtains on the IPL cricket tournament, Bollywood is all set to regain its title of the king of entertainment as a slew of big-budget movies are slated for release.
Major releases were held back as the 44-day-cricket tournament grabbed all the eyeballs giving Bollywood a run for its money.
While the main attraction in June will be Ram Gopal Verma's 'Sarkar Raj', July will see the clash of debutants Harman Baweja and Imram Khan in 'Love Story 2050' and 'Jaane Tu...' respectively on July 4, followed by Apoorva Lakhia's 'Mission Istanbul' on July 11.
'Sarkar Raj' has Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek and daughter-in law Aishwarya sharing the same frame, 'Love Stoy 2050' is a sci-fi with liberal doses of romance thrown in.
Noted actor Aamir Khan will launch his nephew Imran Khan in his home production 'Jaane Tu...', 'Mission Istanbul' is another multi-starrer thriller.
Also, it is 'Drona' and 'God Tussi Great Ho' that are being keenly awaited by movie buffs.
Eros International will be releasing Salman Khan-starrer "God Tussi Great Ho" and Abhishek Bachchan starrer "Drona" on August 15 and October two respectively.
'Drona', replete with visual effects and directed by Goldie Behl, will release during the weekend that has holidays on the occasion of Id and Gandhi Jayanti. Apart from Abhishek, "Drona" stars Priyanka Chopra, Jaya Bachchan and K K Menon.
Now in post-production stages, 'Drona' is a contemporary fantasy fable, Behl said. "Drona is a compelling modern tale of one man's spectacular voyage and a journey that will force him to face his fears and make him the hero he was born to become, he said.
