The much awaited Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar action thriller Wazir released last week and was a much anticipated film for 2016.
Senior Bachchan was last seen in Shamitabh and Farhan Akhtar was last seen acting in Dil Dhadakne Do.
The film is based on the story of two unusual friends — a paralyzed chess grandmaster and a grief stricken ATS officer — who are bought together by a peculiar twist of fate as part of a wider conspiracy.
The film didn't do as well as expected and the critics were very harsh on their reviews as they were expecting alot more. The film was too predictable and although based on a chess mastermind it felt that the film makers used their weakest moves.
Here we look at 10 other Bollywood thrillers that have done well since the 2000.
Don is the remake of the Amitabh Bachchan 1978 film and this time stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role.
Based on crime conducted in Mumbai where Abhishek plays a police officer who enlists the help of Uday's character who happens to be a thief.
A Wednesday is based on the events that occur between a time period on a particular Wednesday but no written record of these events existing only in the mind of those involved.
A psychological thriller based on a man who develops anterograde amnesia following a violent encounter where his love interest is murdered and he is now trying to avenge his killers using Polaroid snaps and permanent tattoos as reminders.
The story revolves around a young man joining the Mumbai crime underworld with the thought of making it big one day.
