After the super duper success of his high school musical Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Abbas Tyrewala is back. And this time its supposed to be a mature love story. Jhootha Hi Sahi stars John Abraham, Pakhi Tyrewala (Abbas’ wife and co-writer) , Raghu Ram and a bunch of friends, like in JTYJN. Has music by A R Rahman. Check it out.
This is one film we are eagerly waiting for – Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Paan Singh Tomar starring Irrfan Khan & Mahie Gill. Some on locations pics of the film are out on the internet. Check it out.
And here is the official synopsis of the film…
Paan Singh Tomar is an untold true story of a simple farmer, a loyal soldier and a champion athlete who became one of India’s most dreaded dacoits!
Paan Singh was a small town lad who went on to win the steeplechase at the Indian National Games for 7 consecutive years! He broke the national record, a feat that was unsurpassed for 10 years! A series of life changing events however forced Paan Singh to give up athletics, pick up the gun and become the scourge of the infamous Chambal valley in central India. Filled with deep emotions and fateful twists, Paan Singh Tomar is a gritty, no holds barred action adventure set in the heart of India’s gangland, Chambal.

Here is the trailer of a new film called Emotional Atyachar – The film and two posters of other two new films – Jhootha Hi Sahi & Action Replayy.
Emotional Atyachar – the film is directed by debutant Akshay Shere and stars Ranvir Shorey, Vinay Pathak, Mohit Ahalawat, Kalki Koechlin, Abhimanyu Singh and Ravi Kissen.
Jhootha Hi Sahi is directed by Abbas Tyrewala and stars John Abraham and Pakhi (Abbas’s wife). But why is Pakhi missing from the first poster ? Isn’t this her big debut ? Any conspiracy theory ? Action Replayy is by Vipul Shah and stars Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
If Apne wasn’t enough, the Deols are back again! This time with director Sameer Karnik and actress Kulraj Randhawa. And if you are wondering whats the title is about, well, we are guessing its three adjective for three Deols. If you can’t read the text, click on the pic.
And here is the unofficial synopsis of the film…Dharmendra and Bobby Deol play a crooked father-son based in Varanasi. Sunny Deol plays a Canada based upright man who gets to know after two decades that he has a father and brother in Varanasi. The film is about Sunny’s journey to his past and finally apne to apne hote hai!
And if the background music and the song in the trailer is any indication of the film to come, well, its time for #BOJam (Inspired by #MeterJam). Again! Southern Superstar Surya makes his bolly debut with this one. Plus, it has the bolly superstar (atleast he thinks he is) Vivek Oberoi alongwith Priyamani, Shatrughan Sinha, Abhimanyu Singh and Radhika Apte.
Whats more, its in two parts. So, two movies, back to back, one after another in just few weeks. Get ready. Seriously!
Aha, finally! After making headlines almost every year for all the wrong reasons, seems like GOI has finally decided to clean up the mess (like the one on the left). Plus some good news for screenwriters – instead of one, now there will be three awards. Scroll down to read it in more details.

We are not sure who designed the poster of Anjaana Anjaani but we are sure about one thing – its a straight lift from An Education. Just check out both the posters. Need we say more! Tip by @damoviemaniac. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand and stars Ranbir Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra.
And to check out its theatrical trailer and to know its original source from where it has taken the inspiration, click here. We have put a bet! The goss from crew of Anjanaa Anjaani is that they have take the basic story idea from The Girl On The Bridge and have Bollywoodised it by adding naach-gaana & Las Vegas!
And here is the poster of An Education….
The first trailer of Ranbir Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra starrer Anjaana Anjaani is out. Its directed by Siddharth Raj Anand.
According to its wiki page, here is the synopsis of the film…
Vodpod videos no longer available.Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra are trying to find luck in their life after several failed attempts to be successful in their careers and in love. Fed up, they both decide to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. However, both land up on the same bridge at the same time.
And here is our bet – though we dont know much about the film but from the synopsis and few scenes in the trailer its easy to predict that its plagiarised from The Girl On The Bridge (In French – La Fille Sur Le Pont ). And here is a scene from the original one. BTW, do watch it
