After undergoing a trial by fire courtesy the Central Board of Film Certification, Udta Punjab will be released on June 17 after all. As will be Dhanak, Finding Dory and Central Intelligence.
Udta Punjab Directed by Abhishek Chaubey and co-written by Sudip Sharma (NH10), this drama cross-weaves four narrative strands featuring four characters: a drug-addicted pop star (Shahid Kapoor), a low-level supplier (Alia Bhatt), a police officer (Diljit Dosanjh) and a doctor working with addicts (Kareena Kapoor Khan). The music is by Amit Trivedi, and the controversy that has raged over the censor board’s unreasonable demands for the removal of all references to Punjab tells us that an expose is on the cards.Dhanak Nagesh Kukunoor’s children’s film has finally reached the cinemas after travelling to festivals around the world. The movie follows the adventures of Pari (Hetal Gada) and Chhotu (Krrish Chhabria) across Rajasthan. Pari has promised her brother, who lost his sight as a child, that he will be able to see again with the help of superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Scored by Tapas Relia, the movie also stars Vipin Sharma, Vibha Chibber and Vijay Maurya.
Finding Dory The sequel to the 2003 animated hit Finding Nemo focuses on the character of Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres), the forgetful Pacific regal blue tang fish who helped Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) find his missing son Nemo. In the new movie, Dory sets out to find her own family, accompanied by Marlin and Nemo (voiced by Hayden Rolence), and runs into the whale Bailey (Ty Burrell) and the octopus Hank (Ed O’Neill).
Central Intelligence Rawson Marshall Thurber (Easy A, We’re the Millers) directs this comedy in which a Central Intelligence Agency operative (Dwayne Johnson) reunites with his childhood friend Calvin (Kevin Hart), who is an accountant, on a thrill-seeking adventure.
