Here's looking at the big releases of 2014.

The second half of 2014 has quite a lot of big movies, starring the biggest superstars, coming up.

We saw some of the releases, here's looking at the second part of the two-part special.

Bang Bang!

A year after Krrish 3, Hrithik Roshan returns with Bang Bang!, the official remake of the Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz starrer Knight And Day.

While one waits to catch the first trailer of the film, this Sidharth Anand-directed action entertainer is already super hot due to its cast -- Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif -- as well as the action it promises.

Release: October 2

Haider

Haider presents Shahid Kapoor with a opportunity to show off his acting talent.

From what we see in the trailer, he's not the only one doing a fabulous job -- Tabu looks ethereal and we can't wait to see her on the big screen again.

An adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet, the film is an acid test for director Vishal Bhardwaj, who is probably looking for redemption after past debacles like Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola and 7 Khoon Maaf.

Set in Kashmir, the film's added attractions are Shraddha Kapoor and Irrfan Khan.

Release: October 2

Happy New Year

As far as biggies of the year are concerned, one film that's set to lead the pack is Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Happy New Year.

The rumour goes that SRK and director Farah Khan are trying to ensure a Rs 200 crore worth of returns even before the film hits the screens, by planning a whole new kind of promotional activity.

Release: October 24

Although delayed by six months, one hopes that Action Jackson releases this year.

Directed by Prabhu Dheva, starring Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha, Action Jackson is a fun entertainer in the making, with songs and great choreography.

Release: November 7

Buzz is that Parineeti Chopra will be seen like never before in this action musical, which has Shaad Ali (of Saathiya and Bunty Aur Babli fame) returning to direction seven years after Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.

With Ranveer Singh joining the show, Ali Zafar in a new look and Govinda in a pivotal role, Kill Dil will have to live up to lofty expectations.

Release: November 14

Bombay Velvet

What does Anurag Kashyap have to offer this time around, one wonders.

His next film Bombay Velvet is expected to be an epic saga.

For Ranbir Kapoor, the film is extremely important as his previous -- Besharam with the other Kashyap brother -- is best forgotten.

Karan Johar and Anusha Sharma join the cast as villain and the leading lady respectively.

Release: November 28

Two years after OMG: Oh My God, director Umesh Shukla returns with another social entertainer.

For Abhishek Bachchan, this is a good platform to go solo after multi-starrers like Dhoom 3 and Happy New Year.

Asin returns to the big screen after her 2012 release Khiladi 786.

Release: December 5

2014 has been a big year so far for Arjun Kapoor as both his releases -- Gunday and 2 States -- were hits.

The trailer of his next film Finding Fanny looks good too.

He will turn on the heat once again with another new film, Tevar.

The film is a romantic action entertainer about lovers on the run, with Sonakshi Sinha as the female lead.

Release: December 5

Though Welcome Back was planned to arrive alongside PK, filmmaker Anees Bazmee hinted that the clash is best avoided and the release date of the John Abraham-starrer has been moved.

Welcome Back should be a super fun film with Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar returning to the scene.

Tentative release date: December 26
