We are only a few weeks away from the end of the year. But before all the Christmas releases roll in, November brings with it a slew of intriguing Upcoming Bollywood Movies. This month's watchlist perhaps has some of the boldest titles of the year to land on the big screen. And by bold we mean films that have experimented not only with concepts but also visuals. For starters, Phone Bhoot, Hindi cinema's latest addition to the horror-comedy genre arrives early in the month. The film's star-studded line-up features Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khatter, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Jackie Shroff and others. Another film that will go heavy on VFX within the genre is Bhediya, a creature horror-comedy starring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. Apart from these titles, the month will also see the release of Uunchai which boasts of a cast led by Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, Neena Gupta and others in a heart-winning tale. Moreover, Drishyam led by Ajay Devgn and Tabu is set to get a sequel with Drishyam 2.

Drishyam 2
Director: Abhishek Pathak
Cast: Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Akshaye Khanna
Drishyam 2 is the sequel to the 2017 thriller directed by the late Nishikant Kamat. It features Ajay Devgn who reprises his role as Vijay Salgaonkar as the case reopens seven years later. It follows the Salgaonkar family which is still on the police's radar for Sam's disappearance. Like the first film, the second installment is also inspired by the Malayalam hit featuring Mohanlal. This time around, the biggest obstacle for Vijay seems to be Akshaye Khanna's cop character who is leading the investigation and has his suspicions. The film will see Vijay making yet another attempt to save his family.
Release date: November 18
Where: Theatres
Bhediya
Director: Amar Kaushik
Cast: Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Deepak Dobriyal, Abhishek Banerjee
Bhediya is perhaps one of the most anticipated films of the month. The Amar Kaushik directorial is a horror-comedy led by Varun Dhawan. Revolving around a man who is bitten by a werewolf, an incident that gives him the ability to transform into one, the film is a creature feature full of possibilities. It sees Kriti Sanon play a doctor who believes that the newbie werewolf needs to use his powers for good. From the looks of it, Bhediya which also stars Abishek Banerjee and Deepak Dobriyal is going to be a CGI-heavy ride. Moreover, it belongs to the same horror movie universe as Stree and Roohi. While the former was a huge hit, the latter opened to middling reviews.
Release date: November 25
