Dabboo Ratnani Calendar 2016

The queen of Bollywood royally slayed her shoot for this year's calendar

The Dabboo Ratnani 2016 calendar is finally here!

In a five minute long video released on January 11, 2016, the ace photographer teased us with sneak peak into what we could expect for this year’s shoot, and we certainly weren’t let down.

The likes Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, and Amitabh Bachchan were seen working with Dabboo, and set hearts racing in anticipation.

But now, the much awaited calendar has been unveiled, and it is bigger and better than ever.

So brace yourselves, because this may be the most wanted calendar shoots Dabboo and the Bollywood stars may have ever done.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

As expected, the queen of Bollywood royally slayed her shoot for this year’s calendar.

Avid Aish fans would have recognised her ensemble from the 2015 stardust Awards, where she wore an enthralling Georges Hobeika Couture gown.

But the official released photo is a close up of the former Miss World.

Simple make-up, sleek hair, and an enchanting look pierces through the camera lens.

Aish captures our hearts with this shoot, and proves why she holds the title of the most beautiful woman in the world.

Amitabh Bachchan

Dabboo was thrilled to have the one and only Amitabh star in his shoot, tweeting:

“Thank you Amit Uncle Amitabh Bachchan For Your Kind Words. It’s an Honour to Shoot With You For Dabboo Ratnani Calendar?”

The Bollywood patriarch shows us his many faces, from silly to serious.

This suave, silver fox strikes again, and we never doubted him for a second.

Priyanka Chopra

Quantico star, Priyanka Chopra has had skyrocketing success in 2015, which makes her appearance in the 2016 calendar even more exciting.

Wearing a fur hooded dressing gown, the star adheres to the playful premise, and looks adorably cute.

The Bollywood turned Hollywood beauty knows all too well how to slay a Dabboo Ratnani shoot, as she has appeared in several editions.

The star even joked about her frequent shoots with the Indian photographer, stating:

“Being on Dabboo’s calendar is more consistent than being in movies.”

Sidharth Malhotra

If you have ever wanted to see a half naked Sidharth Malhotra in a bath, then you’ve come to the right place.

The actor promised that this shoot would be saucily sexy, and he definitely did not disappoint.

Guaranteed to put on a show, Sidharth seduces everyone with his cheeky chappy persona, teasing us as he smokes a cigar.

This is the perfect amount of rough and rugged that we needed, and we can’t keep our eyes off him.

Kriti Sanon

Whilst many celebs are now pros at posing for the Dabboo Ratnani calendar, others are new to the gig, Kriti Sanon being one of them.

The Dilwale (2015) actress tweeted her excitement at being a part of the biggest calendar shoot of the year, typing:

“It’s gonna be my debut on @DabbooRatnani ‘s calendar this year! #proudfeeling.”

And so she should. The star’s slim stomach protrudes through the soft grey jumper, leaving little to the imagination.

Looking flawless and comfortable in front of the camera, you would never have guessed that this was her first shoot.

John Abraham

Another Dabboo Ratnani calendar shoot, another opportunity for John Abraham to flaunt his perfectly toned stomach to the world.

Not that we’re complaining, because this shot is one seriously hot look.

Hanging from a raised bar, John flexes his muscles as he extends himself against a plain black backdrop.

Mysterious, seductive, flawless. What more could we ask for?

Varun Dhawan

Bringing colour and life to the calendar is Bollywood heartthrob, Varun Dhawan.

The half naked star presented us with his chiseled abs, and a temptingly gorgeous glare that we simply cannot ignore.

This brightly coloured shot is definitely one of the more elaborate entries of this year’s calendar.

The unusual premise weirdly works, which is what makes Dabboo one of the best photographers right now.

Alia Bhatt

Shooting the yearly Dabboo Ratnani calendar comes easy to Alia Bhatt, who stuns us for yet another year with her playful, carefree pose.

Keeping the colour palette mellow and mild, Dabboo transforms Alia into a gracious princess.

Innocence is the key for this shoot: natural hair, nude make-up, and a minimalist beige top that wraps around Alia’s enviously perfect figure.

Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan sends pulses racing as he literally drips with sex appeal in this wet and wondrous shoot.

Wearing a white shirt paired with a black jacket, SRK is soaked through as he poses into the lense.

The talented star challenges all other celebs into possibly having the best shot of this calendar year.

2016 is only 12 days old and it is already shaping up to be the best yet.

Year after year, Dabboo Ratnani produces an all star calendar and unquestionably challenges all other photographers.

The biggest celebrities, the most outlandish backdrops, and the most exciting concepts – he never lets us down.

This visually striking calendar has raised the bar yet again, and we can’t wait to get our hands on one.

The Dabboo Ratnani calendar has definitely achieved cult status over the years and is now a Bollywood tradition. The stars for the 2016 calendar shared some fun BTS images and from the looks of it, the ace photographer has outdone himself yet again.

Dabboo Ratnani Calendar 2016: Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra

Presenting some of the hottest photos to set 2016 racing!

Dabboo Ratnani continues his tradition of bringing up the most glam shots of our favourite actors of Bollywood.

The ace photographer is known to present the stars in the most sexy way, but framed quite in an unconventional manner. Who can just forget Vidya Balan’s tea siesta with just a newspaper to cover her modesty? Or Hrithik Roshan flaunting his curves?

This year too, Dabboo has managed to bag A-listers like Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra etc. but in this feature, we will look only at the actresses who has flaunted their sexy side for the photographer.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The photographer just focussed on Aishwarya’s face and her eyes (of course, her biggest assets) to give us a picture of tranquil beauty and sereneness.

Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt shows off her super sexy body, with the poise of a confident ramp model!

Jacqueline Fernandez

Jacqueline Fernandez goes almost topless in this pic, as she uses the boxing gloves to great effect. While she looks totally hot, the gloves in the pic means GUYS, stay off!

Shraddha Kapoor

The sweet and angelic faced Shraddha Kapoor goes super sultry, as she becomes a biker babe for Dabbo Ratnani. And our hearts go Va Va Vroooom!

Priyanka Chopra

The People’s Choice 2016 award winner Priyanka Chopra looks alluring even in a polar bear like gown! Christmas came too soon this year?

Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma shows off her sexy back in this glamourous pose, that will set many hearts racing!

Athiya Shetty

Suneil Shetty’s lovely daughter shows her foxier side as she poses with two cute puppies!

Kriti Sanon

The Dilwale actress shows off her curves for her fans, as she plays with her top!

Parineeti Chopra

The Kill Dil actress looks alluring in black, as she looks as delicious as the chocolate she is holding!

Top 10 Bollywood Actresses

10. Sushmita Sen

The only reason the most graceful stunner in Mumbai is so far down the list is that we never really get to see enough of her. She takes the sari to new heights in Main Hoon Na, then disappears from the marquee; she twirls around as the prettiest part of Kisna, and slinks into the shadows....Even as her Zindaggi Rocks readies for release, we just need to see a lot more of her.More images after the break...

9. Mallika Sherawat

Last year, if you'd tell an industry power-monger that Mallika Sherawat would slip this low down the list, he'd laugh in your face. But times they are a changing, and in the era of the cleavage-friendly music video, this statuesque woman isn't as special as she once was. Bit roles, item-dances, and movies with indie actors no one will watch -- Madame Mallika's still a headline, but she's fading fast.

8. Vidya Balan

She entranced audiences with her eyes in Parineeta, one of those film debuts that showed undoubted spark. And while she might not have done anything at all since then, the lass features in the one upcoming film whose trailer made the country break into a wider grin than anything else this year -- bole to, if she's good enough for Munna, she's good enough for us.

7. Bipasha Basu

Now this one's the exception -- abs as flat as a pricey Korean television, an indulgent grin, and acting skills. Bips initially captured our imaginations as a voluptuous temptress who could (barely, it must be said) pull off a swimsuit. Acting was not her thing at all, the girl being dubbed in almost every film.

6. Kareena Kapoor

She might not have delivered on the Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham potential and turned up as Bollywood's bonafide Number One yet, but Kareena seems to be doing her own thing, her way. She has a steady boyfriend (a Bollywood accomplishment of Herculean standards) in Shahid Kapoor, a bunch of hit films, and most top directors would kill to cast her in their next. And Omkara made each and every one of us fall in love with this fair girl trying to sing Stevie Wonder. Sigh.

5. Preity Zinta

In terms of visibility, Ms Z is down to almost one film a year. 2004 had Veer-Zaara (Lakshya doesn't count, does it), 2005 had Salaam Namaste (and a random disaster, you get the drift). This year, however has been good for Preity. She makes a blink-and-miss special appearance in the year's biggest film so far, Krrish, and while her screentime in Karan Johar's mammoth Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna might not be much more, she's one of the few to escape all the critical rants. And the upcoming Jaan-E-Man pits her with ever-hot hunks Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan.

4. Kajol

India almost wept when Kajol waved bye to Bollywood, prioritising her family with hubby Ajay Devgan. Madhuri Dixit's successor as the female film icon of India, Bollywood without Kajol was a depressing prospect. Five years on, and she comes back with Fanaa. An absurd film with a ridiculous plot, and a leading man looking older than ever. Ask the audience why they queued up for it, and the answer would be to see this woman smile. Kajol's back, and India's thrilled to bits.

3. Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai transcends mere numbers. If you were to actually tally her last dozen films, and not count her item-song in Bunty Aur Babli, then you'd see that none of her films have made a profit since 2002's Devdas. But all that's unimportant in the flashbulb-friendly world of the red carpet, isn't it? Ash is all about the 'concept' of an actress, the idea of a pretty woman with an exotic, unheard-of accent working the cameras at Cannes. She's perfect, even without movies. And with Dhoom 2 barely 2 months away, she isn't going anywhere.

2. Priyanka Chopra

This 24-year-old girl is the copybook success story. She spent the requisite gym-hours, became Miss World and entered Bollywood. Where she actually slogged it out and earned herself the applause. She didn't start with big banners, but worked her way up, consistently getting herself noticed. Today, she's the pick of the glamour brigade, an extremely desirable pin-up babe who is a definite performer. And if you think Krrish sold her short, hold your horses for Don. This babe's here to stay.

1. Rani Mukerji

If there can be a point of unanimity during any banal Bollywood discussion about numbers and ranks -- in an industry that trades loyalties every Friday -- it is simply this: Rani rules. It's come to the point where everybody loves Rani. The film might be a painfully over-indulgent director tripping on shadows, but Rani is good. It might be exaggerated farce written very poorly indeed, but Rani is good. Be it a historical gone wrong or a melodramatic letdown, the truth is clear -- Rani is good. She's a director's actress, and she's worked very hard indeed to solidify her position. Today, Rani Mukerji is reason enough to stand in line to buy tickets for a film -- an amazing feat in an overwhelmingly male dominated industry. This year has already seen her in Karan Johar's KANK. Ravi Chopra's Baabul and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya are waiting in the wings.
