Bollywood may have run out of conventional titles but that won't stop Dus , Chocolate and No Entry from hoping to garner a decent opening at the box-office.

All three films, releasing in the coming weeks, are big-budget multi-starrer wielding enough star power to draw in the crowds. Add a dose of chart-topping numbers and the recipe for a possible blockbuster is complete.

First off the blocks is Dus which releases this Friday. The film starring Sanjay Dutt , Shilpa Shetty , Abhishek Bachchan , Zayed Khan , Sunil Shetty , Esha Deol , Dia Mirza and Raima Sen is all about exploding cars, gravity- defying bikes and aerial encounters.

Director Anubhav Sinha has however kept the storyline and even what the title signifies under wraps.

"Go watch it and you will come to know what it's about," he says.

Apparently, even the cast and crew were asked to sign a contract not to reveal the story of the film. The only thing Sinha is ready to divulge is that Dus is an 'intrigue' film.

"There's loads of action but it's still not an action flick. I call it an intrigue film because there's a surprise every ten minutes," he says.

Dus is followed by ‘No Entry’, which is slated to release on July 22.

'No Entry’ is a situational comedy about three men, two wives, one girlfriend and one temptress. The movie stars Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan as husbands of Lara Dutta and Esha Deol , respectively. Celina Jaitley plays Fardeen Khan ’s girlfriend and Bipasha Basu plays the sensuous seductress.

Produced by Boney Kapoor , 'No Entry’ is directed by Anees Bazmee.

Then comes the multi-thriller ‘Chocolate’, scheduled to be released on August 26. The film with the most unconventional title comes with the tag line – Not a sweeter one.

'Chocolate' is a story of how seven luckless Indians find themselves hauled by the London police and made scapegoats. These luckless Indians are played by Anil Kapoor, Sunil Shetty, Arshad Warsi , Emraan Hashmi , Irfaan Khan , Tanushree Dutta and Sushma Reddy .

‘Chocolate’ unfolds a web of sinister plots, slowly unearthing true and mystifying personalities of seven individuals. Seven high-strung, distinctive people who've chosen to remain in the foreign land hoping to make or break their lives.

The film is shot mainly in the city of London and is produced by Vibha-Ragini and directed by Vivek Agnihotri. It has music by Pritam and lyrics by Dev Kohli, Mayur Puri, Ajeet Srivastava.

Only time will tell how the box-office will respond to these multi-starrers raining this monsoon.
