Top Upcoming Movies To Watch Out For In April 2015

Dibakar Banerjee’s latest movie is one that we have been looking forward to for quite some time now. Sushant Singh Rajput portrays the role of Sharadindu Bandhopadhyay’s famous Bengali detective character of the 1930s – who is said to be India’s first and very own detective. Anand Tiwari and Swastika Mukherjee have also been cast in other principal roles.

If thrill is what you seek, the first week of April has another flick to suit your needs. Liam Hemsworth, Teresa Palmer and Billy Bob Thornton starrer ‘Cut Bank’ is about how the witnessing of a murder in a sleepy little town unravels the life of a young man.

2015 is going to be a busy year for Sunny Leone, with five new movies. The first of them is the musical thriller ‘Ek Paheli Leela’ where she will be seen alongside Jay Bhanushali, Rajneesh Duggal, Mohit Ahlawat and Rahul Dev. This is Leone’s fourth movie – coming after ‘Jism 2’, ‘Jackpot’ and ‘Ragini MMS 2’.

The horror movie of the month will definitely be this chilling tale of a malevolent supernatural entity that stalks a young girl after she gets involved in a sexual confrontation. The cast of the movie is relatively unknown and includes Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist and Olivia Luccardi.

If thrills and chills are not your cup of tea, but animation definitely is – this is one movie you cannot afford to miss. ‘Home’ is a DreamWorks feature that has Steve Martin, Rihanna and the one and only Jim Parsons lending their voices to the characters! The plot of the movie revolves around Oh (Parsons), an alien, and a little girl on her own adventure, Tip (Rihanna).

Vikram Bhatt’s next, ‘Mr. X’ seems to be quite a copy of the Hollywood movie ‘Hollow Man’ – although he has firmly denied it. The thriller has Hashmi playing an invisible vigilante who vows to take revenge from the people who wronged him. Amyra Dastur, who debuted with ‘Issaq’, will be playing his love interest.

After winning hearts across the world through several film festivals, Shonali Bose’s ‘Margarita With A Straw’ is all set to release in India. It is the story of a university student, Laila (Kalki Koechlin), who has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair. The film takes us through the dreams, relationships and sexual awakening of this young girl. Also starring in this movie is Revathi, who plays her mother.

Based on a novel by the same name, ‘Child 44’ is a mystery thriller set in the Stalinist era of former Soviet Union. It is about how a disgraced MGB agent (Tom Hardy) is ordered to investigate a string of serial child murders. Incidentally, it was Christian Bale who was first approached to play the lead role – but Tom Hardy took it up when the former declined the offer.

Winner of the Prize Un Certain Regard at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, ‘White God’ was also Hungary’s entry to the 87th Oscars in the Foreign Film category. It is a masterpiece that depicts a pack of mixed breed ‘mongrels’ teaming up to revolt against human oppression. The plot of the movie revolves around one particular dog, Hagen, who is separated from his human – and who leads the revolt.

Probably the most-awaited sequel of 2015, the second Avengers movie will have Tony Stark’s plan of jumpstarting a dormant peacekeeping program with artificial intelligence (Ultron) backfiring. What ensues is a threat to the entire human civilization as the Ultron decide that humans are the main enemy of Earth and sets out to eradicate them. It now rests on the Avengers to save humanity – and the epicness will be delivered to our screens on May 1!
