1. 2.0

To begin with, we have the Rajnikanth, Akshay Kumar starrer 2.0. The film also includes

The science fiction film is written and directed by S. Shankar, co-written by B. Jeyamohan, and produced by Subaskaran Allirajah. 
 
2. Five

Directed by Omung Kumar 'Five' is a psychological thriller. Nothing much is out about the film except that the story revolves around Akshay Kumar and he will be seen in five different roles. He probably deals with multiple personality disorder or portrays five different people.  The movie will release on January 26, 2018.

3.Chanda Mama Door Ke

Yet another sci-fi is on a roll. Directed by Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan and produced by Viki Rajani, Chanda Mama Door Ke has Sushant Singh Rajput, R. Madhavan, Shraddha Kapoor in the lead.

Director Neeraj Pandey's much talked about film Aiyaary too is releasing on January 26. The star cast of the film includes Manoj Bajpayee, Sidharth Malhotra, Rakul Preet Singh, Naseeruddin Shah, and Anupam Kher. The most appealing part about the film is that it is based on a real-life incident. The crime drama has Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee in the lead roles. 

5.Padman

Last, but certainly not the least, is Akshay Kumar's Padman. The film is directed by the popular director R. Balki.
