not getting proper date while parsing String date to Date

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yy-mm-dd");
formatter.setLenient(false);
String[] dateStr = { "2013-12-27", "2013-01-03"};
for (int i = 0; i <= 1; i++) {
     Date date = formatter.parse(dateStr[i]);
     System.out.println("date is "+date);
}

result : Sun Jan 27 00:12:00 IST 2013

Thu Jan 03 00:01:00 IST 2013

The format for your date would be yy-MM-dd. Update your format and check.
