Indian cinema continues to captivate audiences with its exciting upcoming releases. This Friday, June 21, 2024, promises a diverse range of entertainment, with several highly anticipated Indian movie releases hitting the big screens. Among the most awaited releases are Ishq Vishk Rebound, Hamare Baraah, JNU, and more. This article gives an overview of these films and what film enthusiasts can expect from this week’s releases.

Ishq Vishk Rebound

The highly anticipated film Ishq Vishk Rebound has created a massive buzz among audiences with its coming-of-age tale. Directed by Nipun Dharmadhikari, the film stars Rohit Saraf, Pashmina Roshan, Jibraan Khan, and Naila Grewal in the lead roles. The supporting cast includes Supriya Pilgaonkar, Sheeba Chaddha, Akarsh Khurana, and Shilpa Vishal Shetty.

Ishq Vishk Rebound revolves around four individuals entangled in a web of friendship and love. The film promises a modern twist on youthful love and relationships, exploring contemporary themes and emotions. Since its announcement, viewers have speculated that the movie is either a remake or a sequel to Shahid Kapoor’s Ishq Vishk.

However, the makers recently confirmed that the film is neither a remake nor a sequel to any film. According to IMDb, Ishq Vishk Rebound has a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Hamare Baarah

The controversial film Hamare Baarah is finally set to release tomorrow after being postponed twice. Starring Annu Kapoor, the film faced legal challenges after several petitions were filed in the high court, claiming it distorted the Quran and hurt Muslim sentiments. However, the Bombay High Court allowed the film’s release on Wednesday, provided that the objectionable portions were removed.

In its ruling, the High Court stated, “The movie is in fact for the upliftment of women. The movie has a Maulana misinterpreting the Quran, and one Muslim man objects to the same in the scene. This shows that people should apply their minds and not blindly follow such Maulanas.”

Hamare Baarah follows the story of a woman who takes her father to court to allow her mother to terminate her pregnancy to save her life, as her mother is at risk due to the pregnancy. The film promises to deliver a compelling legal battle and explores the aspect of a woman’s right to abortion. Having completed its censor board formalities, the film is now set to hit theaters.

JNU (Jahangir National University)

Directed by Vinay Sharma, JNU (Jahagir National University) will hit the theatres tomorrow. The film, previously scheduled for release on April 5, was postponed for undisclosed reasons. The first poster of JNU sparked controversy with its tagline, “Can one educational university bring down the nation?” Although the film’s name is fictional, it does explicitly refer to the real JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) institute in Delhi.

The story follows a small-town boy who gains admission to JNU. Post-admission, he witnesses various activities inside the university. Some left-wing students are anti-national and raise their voices against the government. This also leads to incidents within the university that affect the external environment. However, it remains unclear whether the film is inspired by true events.

With its controversial storyline, JNU stars Urvashi Rautela, Siddharth Bodke, Piyush Mishra, Rashami Desai, Sonnalli Seygall, Ravi Kishan, and Vijay Raaz. As of now, the makers have scheduled the film release for June 21, 2024, in Hindi only.

Apart from the Hindi cinema, South cinema also has a lineup of films releasing tomorrow, offering an extra layer of entertainment. The list includes:
