New Delhi
By Lakshmi Balakrishnan
No, romance is not on its way out, what with Bollywood heart-throb Hrithik Roshan's two releases — "Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage'' with Amisha Patel and ''Na Tum Jaano Na Hum'' with Esha Deol — due shortly. But then it is not love but ''action'' that promises to keep cinemagoers going. Thrill is the flavour of the season, with Bollywood offering everything from action potboilers to supernatural cliff-hangers, bank robberies and underworld exploits. If ''Raaz'' broke away from the presumed obsession of Delhi audiences for Bollywood masala, the coming weeks look better. This past week saw ''Satya'' star Chakravatay's new film on the underworld, ''Durga''. And first of upcoming thrillers is Big B's ''Aankhen''. The multistarrer featuring Akshay Kumar, Sushmita Sen, Arjun Rampal, Bipasha Basu and Paresh Rawal presents Amitabh Bachchan in a role with negative shades. Then there is Ram Gopal Verma's ''Company'' due on April 12. If ''Satya'' was about the innocent stuck in the underworld, ''Company'' talks of those who don't mind being a part of the crime world. Then comes ''Kaante'', a multistarrer with a Hollywood crew. Filmed in just 35 days across New York, it has a star cast that is Bollywood's best.
