    Kai-Po-Che-Poster

    What do you get when you combine the sensibilities of Rang De Basanti’s producers, the director of Rock On and the novelist Chatan Bhagat known mostly for 3 Idiots (although apparently he wasn’t happy with some aspects of the adaptation but kept quite after it became the biggest success in Indian history)? Did you guess: [...]

    Dabangg 2 Poster

    The Return of Chulbul Pandey has been announced with the reveal of some bad ass character posters and a pretty amazing trailer.

    Race 2 poster

    Director Duo Abbas Mustan have been on a mission to prove that Hindi movies can be as slick, fast paced but also inane and uninspired as any the studio action movie from Hollywood.

    Talaash Song Promo Muskaane Jhoothi Hain

    Talaash

    Although Talaash is a suspense thriller, the producers seems to be keeping such a tight lid on promotion that you sometimes tend to forget the movie is coming out on November the 30th. Maybe when you have Amir Khan starring with Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee, you just don’t need that much promotion. But the [...]

    Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola

    Going rustic never seemed so fun! The new trailer for Vishal Bhardwaj’s film starring Imran Khan, Anushka Sharma and Pankaj Kapur just came out and it’s hilariously delightful. The kind of movies Vishal Bhardwaj has been making over the last year, pretty much gets my buy-in straight away. Although we don’t really know what the [...]

    Jab Tak Hai Jaan

    The trailer for the most looked forward to movie for the rest of the year is finally out after so much teasing and marketing strategizing.

    Joker_Poster_01

    Up until last week’s HeyUGuys’ weekly Cinema Round Up, I was still very excited of going out to see Shirish Kunder’s Sci-Fi Hoax movie, but a week later and a movie which will be known in years to come as one of the biggest box office debacle in Hindi Cinema and seriously impede the career [...]

    AtuF8ANCQAAxf4K

    Although India might be known to some as a culturally conservative country, it was quite heartening to see the how Adult movie star Sunny Leone made her small screen debut as one of the participants in the local version of Big Brother earlier this year and was welcomed with open arms.
