In 2022, we saw the theatrical releases of many films. With the world trying to get back to normalcy, many exciting projects impressed the audience and even earned big bucks at the box office.
If everything goes well in 2023, we are expecting more films to be released this year. In fact, many shoots and releases that were delayed because of the pandemic are expected to hit theatres in the New Year.
We are specifically psyched about January 2023. A handful of films will be released, both in theatres and OTT, in the first month, and here is the list.

Kuttey is releasing on January 13. The upcoming Hindi film is directed and produced by Vishal Bharadwaj. Its cast includes big names like Tabu, Konkana Sensharma, Naseeruddin Shah, Arjun Kapoor, Radhika Madan and Kumud Mishra.
The action-crime thriller in which the cast is chasing a truck loaded with money. One evening, three groups coincidently come in contact with each other. They all have the same motive and go ahead with the strategy of betrayal and bloodshed. So far, the trailer looks promising. It will be interesting to see who gets the money-loaded truck in the end.

Lakadbaggha is releasing with Kuttey on January 13. It was screened at the 28th Kolkata International Film Festival. Starring Ridhi Dogra, Anshuman Jha and Milind Soman, the movie is a love letter to animals and dogs at large.
It is inspired by real events in Kolkata where animals were being traded illegally. Dogra said that her character, Akshara, gets stuck at the crossroad between the protagonist and antagonist. For Jha, the film is universal with an Indian soul.
