If you enjoyed Golmaal and Golmaal 2, you may like this one too.

After giving us the two rollicking comedies, director Rohit Shetty returns with All The Best, starring Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu and Mughda Godse.

Last Diwali, Golmaal 2 turned out to be a superhit. Will he be able to repeat the magic this Diwali?

The promos of this film look cool, as do Mr Khanna (Salman Khan) and his Mrs (Kareena Kapoor).

Debutant director Prem Soni does not want to reveal the plot or whether cast member Sohail Khan provides a love triangle to the film.

Whether the film will rock remains to be seen. But if the music is anything to go by -- especially Ajeeb Ittefaq Hai sung by Sonu Nigam -- we might just have a winner.

Blue

Release date: October 16

There are many reasons why we're excited about this one.

First of all, the film boasts of cool and daring underwater stunts. Then, we get to see Lara Dutta in a bikini. And of course, there's the magic jodi of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. Plus, a cameo by Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue.

Rumours have it that Blue -- directed by debutant director Anthony D'Souza -- is the most expensive film ever made in India. It reportedly costs about Rs 80 crores.

The film, which also stars Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan, is about the hunt for treasure buried in shark-infested waters.

Aladin

Amitabh Bachchan has played many characters. And now, he plays a genie!

Directed by Sujoy Ghosh (Jhankaar Beats), the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh and Sri Lankan newcomer Jacqueline Fernandes.

The music is quite good. Let's hope the film is as good too.

Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan wrap up the action-filled month with this romantic musical.

The duo returns together after a gap of 10 years -- the last time they were seen together was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's hit Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

Asin takes centre stage in London Dreams, directed by Vipul Shah (Namastey London).
