Movies COMING UP IN February

The year started with a bang with the big-budget Fighter releasing in January.

February will see only mid to decent budgeted films arriving.

While some of these are star-driven films, others are content-driven and would depend on word-of-mouth publicity to work at the box office.

Joginder Tuteja lists the February theatre releases.

Section 108
Release date: February 2

Crime thriller Section 108 stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Regina Cassandra.

Directed by Rasikh Khan, Nawaz plays a lawyer, who is hired by an insurance company to look into a billionaire's disappearance.

Soon, the court will declare him dead and the insurance company will have to compensate the nominee.

Lal Salaam
Release date: February 9

Lal Salaam was originally planned for a Makar Sankranti release, but it was pushed ahead, perhaps to make way for Dhanush's big release Captain Miller.
