From Katrina Kaif-Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Baar Baar Dekho to Ranbir Kapoor-Anushka Sharma-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Sonakshi Sinha-starrer Noor, most of the upcoming big-budget films involve love triangles.

Love triangles have been out of fashion in Bollywood for more than decade. It was in the 90s and 80s that we saw Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna fight over Rakhee (Muqaddar Ka Sikander, 1978) or Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty struggle for Shilpa Shetty’s affection (Dhadkan, 2000) onscreen.

We take a look at such films that will hit the screens this year:
