Here is an overview: 
 
*Fakt Purusho Maate*

The much-awaited sequel to the superhit Gujarati family drama ‘Fakt Purusho Maate’ has created a massive buzz among trade watchers as well as the fans of the original. Superstar Amitabh Bachchan  makes a special appearance once more and this time he plays ‘God’  in this engaging inter-generational story.

It stars Yash Soni, Esha Kansara, Mitra Gadhvi, Darshan Jariwalla and is expected to release around Janmashtami this year. 

*Bad Newz*

On the heels of ‘Good Newwz’, comes ‘Bad Newz’, an Anand Tiwari comedy produced by Dharma Productions.  The story revolves around  a bizarre condition called  heteropaternal superfecundation which leads  to the heroine Saloni Bagga’s twin pregnancy being fathered by the protagonists Akhil Chadha  and Gurbir Pannu. What ensues is sheer chaos with both men competing to stake a claim on the children. The film stars Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk and will release on 19th July this year.  
 
*Stree 2*
 
After the massive success of the horror comedy ‘Stree’, director Amar Kaushik once again helms its sequel. Produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, it  features Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao along with Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana. The film elaborates upon the myth of a supernatural woman who  abducts men at night, leaving only their clothes behind. Vicky, the tailor from the original once again sets out to unravel this mystery and stumbles upon unexpected truths. The film will be released on 15th August, this year.

*Madgaon Express*

 Written and directed by Kunal Khemu, ‘Madgaon Express’ is an unending laugh riot. Produced by  Excel Entertainment, its stars  Pratik Gandhi, Avinash Tiwary, Divyenndu, Nora Fatehi, Upendra Limaye and Chhaya Kadam.
