First Look : Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs Of Wasseypur (Poster, Trailer & Synopsis)
Posted: May 3, 2012 by moifightclub in bollywood, cast & crew, cinema, film, first look, News, pics, Poster, Story / Plot / Synopsis, Trailer, videoTags: Aditya Kumar, anurag kashyap, first look, Gangs Of Wasseypur, Huma Qureshi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Manoj Bajpai, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Piyush Mishra, poster, Reemma Sen, Richa Chadda, Syed Zeeshan Qadri., synopsis, Tigmanshu Dhulia, trailer, Viacom18
Ah, finally. The way Viacom18, the producer of Gangs of Wasseypur, was reluctant to share even on location images of the film after the Cannes announcement, we were thinking if they were going to lay some golden eggs.
The trailer, poster and the official synopsis of the film is finally out. Let’s go one by one. First, the trailer.
Loot, coal mines, volatile people in volatile land, zindagi ka ek-e maksad – badla, jail, chop shop, Tishu, Bihar ke lala, cuss words, Richa attacking the same man who has been killing everyone, sex, goggles-wala-pyaar, dhoom-dhaam, more cuss words, more earthy and punchy dialogues, more abuses and some more dhaam-dhaam. And everything is inherited! E toh poora ka poora dabang hai – abki badke Kashyap ki baari.
But why is the text font so bland? Bad font always bores me.
As far as the trailer goes, this is as mainstream as it can be. But i think the trailer serves more masala than the film will offer. Might be wrong. But Kashyap without his indulgences? Jiyo o Bihar ke lala. The trailer doesn’t tell you much about the film but it gives the ambiance and the mood of the film and tells you what to expect – you connect the dots. And if you can’t, scroll down for the synopsis.
My fav bit – Pankaj Tripathy. Bahut-e kamaal ke actor hai. Agle Yashpal Sharma hai jo hame bahut-ey pasand hai.
Now, the poster.
Superb art work. Like the colours and the treatment. But why such a bad finish? The film posters on the right and left hand side looks so weird. As if at the last moment they asked some intern to put two posters. Just doesn’t gel with the rest.
And now the official synopsis…
Towards the end of colonial India, Shahid Khan loots the British trains, impersonating the legendary Sultana Daku. Now outcast, Shahid becomes a worker at Ramadhir Singh’s colliery, only to spur a revenge battle that passes on to generations. At the turn of the decade, Shahid’s son, the philandering Sardar Khan vows to get his father’s honor back, becoming the most feared man of Wasseypur. In contemporary times, the weed addicted grandson, Faizal Khan, wakes up to this vengeance that his family has inherited. Staying true to its real life influences, the film explores this revenge saga through the socio-political dynamic in erstwhile Bihar (North India), in the coal and scrap trade mafia of Wasseypur, through the imprudence of a place obsessed with mainstream ‘Bollywood’ cinema.
The film stars Manoj Bajpai, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Jaideep Ahlawat, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Aditya Kumar, Reemma Sen, Richa Chadda, Huma Qureshi, Piyush Mishra and Syed Zeeshan Qadri.

Reema Kagti’s Talaash (Trailer & Poster) – what’s your bet?
Posted: January 26, 2012 by moifightclub in Aao guess karein, bollywood, cast & crew, film, first look, News, Poster, Trailer, videoTags: aamir khan, anurag kashyap, Excel Entertainment, Farhan Akhtar, first look, Kareena Kapoor, Nawazuddin, poster, Rani Mukherji, Reema Kagti, Reliance Entertainment, Talaash, trailer
It’s raining trailers and how! The much awaited trailer of Aamir Khan’s new film Talaash is finally out. Have a look.
And here’s the so called digital poster of the film.
Directed by Reema Kagti, the film stars Aamir Khan, Rani Mukherji, Kareena Kapoor and Nawazuddin. Produced by Excel Entertainment, Aamir Khan and Reliance Entertainment, the writing credits include Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar (Dialogues) and Anurag Kashyap (Additional Dialogues). It has been shot by Mohanan.
So it’s a murder mystery. A cop chasing a murder case. A housewife, a prostitute and lot of tension. Well shot and creates the right mood.
And the mystery is the big punch? Seems so. The tagline says – The Answer Lies Within. So what’s your bet? Reminds me of that weird and stupid film called Kartik calling Kartik. Is it on same lines? Murder, murderer, memory, all mashed-up.
Where is Agent Vinod heading to?
Posted: January 26, 2012 by moifightclub in bollywood, cinema, film, first look, News, Poster, Trailer, videoTags: Agent Vinod, Ek Haseen Thi, first look, Johnny Gaddar, Kareena Kapoor, poster, Sriram Raghavan, trailer
First things first. In Sriram Raghavan we trust.
So?
So far only two posters and a trailer has released. Isn’t it bit early to dissect the film? Well, not really when it’s one of the most anticipated films of the year. We have been reading, hearing, discussing, tweeting and have been waiting patiently for this one to release. Long shooting schedules. Saif even completed shooting another two films in between. Production fck ups. Lead actor is the producer. Girlfriend is the co-star. Release dates postponed again and again. But that’s nothing new. Such things happen. Shit happens.
So?
But the intial publicity stuff of Agent Vinod has seriously got us worried. Have a look at these two posters. Rewind. Look at the posters of Sriram’s previous two films – Ek Haseena Thi and Johnny Gaddar. All in the slideshow.
Isn’t there a big difference between these two and those three? Where is the quotient “cool”? Where is that rare thing called aesthetics? Bollywood rulebook says the bigger you go, the dumber you have to be. Is AV on that track? Hope not. But looks so. And now the trailer.
Let’s go one by one.
Text : The last thing. he will reveal is. his identity.
And the film’s title is Agent Vinod. That’s a masterstroke.
As everyone tries to find out his identity, Saif does the 70’s swing. Doffing the hat to the original Agent Vinod – Mahendra Sandhu, to Anthony Gonsalves to Vinod Khanna, he says it all. That’s wickedly funny. Much like another 70’s popular line – Tumhara naam kya hai, Basanti?
The music keeps up the momentum through out the trailer. If it’s Pritam, we sincerely hope that he is not back to his old trick. Because this one is too good to be Pritam’s. Can anyone confirm?
The problem. The rest (in order of appearance) – B and W, caught, gagged, jumps, taps, turns, glance, kick, punch, another punch, hide, Kareena in red light, Saif in red too, Illuminati Films, turn, chase – some Arab country, inside car, flight, Saif walking, Kareena walking, tram – London, Saif – Europe (?), Saif & Kareena in a party, a glance here/a look there – in slo-mo, RB 13, another chase, pulls out, Saif jumps and fires, Eros, car, train, gun, car, dhoom, dhaam, turn, bike, boom, flying kick, stunt, roll, Kareena, gun, cover the spycam, Sunil Lulla, cards, jump, gun, blast, dhickiyaaon, title, on floor, smile, captured, Sriram Raghavan, release date, credit plate.
Now, where have we seen it? Well, in any other spy/action films. And it’s as good or bad as Priyadarshan’s Tezz or Abbas-Mustan’s Players trailer. No stunt/action/chase stays with you after you have seen the trailer. It lowers down the bar of expectations drastically. And, may be, that’s a good thing in a way. But if we can’t expect from Sriram Raghavan, who else?
These are difficult and demanding times. Bourne has forced Bond and MI franchise to have a relook and change drastically. Style is Out. Stunt is In. Grab me by my balls. Give me that breathtaking high. Show me the thrill pill. And when the films release in India on the same day as in any other country, and sometimes even before them, the stakes are quite high. We have tasted blood. Being good in India is not the parameter any more.
When Bond and Bourne are here, the question is, where is Vinod heading to?
23rd March, 2012. We will not fade in. We will plunge in.
(PS – Click here to check out the trailer launch video of AV. Sriram at 00:38 – It’s fun, action film. And at the same time real film)
(PS1 – A friend who has read the script assured us that it’s all good. Spread all over, quite ambitious and quite a thrilling ride.)
First Look : Chittagong (Poster) and The Dirty Picture (Animated Trailer)
Posted: November 21, 2011 by moifightclub in bollywood, cinema, first look, pics, Poster, songs & videos, Trailer, videoTags: animated, Barry John, Bedabrata Pain, Chittagong, Dibyendu Bhattacharya., first look, Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, poster, Raj Kumar Yadav, Shonali Bose, The Dirty Picture, trailer
Bedabrata Pain’s Chittagong has been in the making for quite sometime. And now, the first poster of the film has been released. We are guessing the film should be releasing soon.
The poster is simple and effective, reminds you of Raavan’s first look. Two issues – too much text in such small space. And who uses so many exclamation marks!!!
Written by Bedabrata Pain & Shonali Bose, it stars Manoj Bajpayee, Raj Kumar Yadav, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Barry John and Dibyendu Bhattacharya. To read the official synopsis and see the trailer of the film, click here.
The Dirty Picture is still going strong on buzz-o-meter. And here’s the latest trailer, the animated version. Best animated bit – 00:25 – 00:32.

The posters of Abbas-Mustan films
Posted: November 3, 2011 by moifightclub in bollywood, film, first look, pics, PosterTags: 36 China Town, Abbas-Mustan, Aitraaz, Ajnabee, film, first look, Naqaab, Players, poster, Race
Bollywood’s Men in White have made a career by copying every possible thriller from the west. Their new film is called Players and for a change, its not plagiarised. It’s the official remake of The Italian Job.
The first poster of Players released today and i felt a sense of deja-vu. Because when there is so much effort going on to get that stand-out look for every new film, Abbas-Mustan seems to be stuck in their old world, as far as the posters are concerned. Scroll down to see what i mean.
So basically all the actors will stand together, try to look cool and the poster is ready. You can replace any poster with the other one and it will not make any difference. This is for multi-starrers. Now let’s look at the film posters which has not more than three stars.
So what will be the poster of Race 2? Anyone wants to bet? Will they just replace few faces? Think so. Let’s see.
Concept is dead, design is dead, long live Abbas-Mustan!
Rockstar Poster – Real or fake?
Posted: August 24, 2011 by moifightclub in bollywood, film, first look, PosterTags: first look, Imtiaz Ali, poster, Rockstar
Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar starring Ranbir Kapoor is ready for release. The film’s theatrical trailer will come out with Salman Khan’s Bodygaurd. And the film’s first poster is just out. Some nice sketch work but a tacky font.
But is it real or fake? We are not sure yet but this one is currently online.
First Look : That Girl In Yellow Boots, My Friend Pinto and Malegaon Ka Superman (Posters)
Posted: August 12, 2011 by moifightclub in bollywood, cinema, film, first look, PosterTags: anurag kashyap, Arjun Mathur, Divya Dutta, first look, Kalki Koechlin, Malegaon Ka Superman, My Friend Pinto, poster, Prateik, Raaghav Dar, Raj Zutshi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Shruti Seth, That Girl in Yellow Boots
Anurag Kashyap’s next release That Girl In Yellow Boots finally gets an official poster. Not sure if it’s the same agency which has designed the posters of Dev D, Shaitan and now TGIYB but some design hangover seems to be there…similar elements, colours and that garish touch.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is also ready with his next production, My Friend Pinto. Directed by debutant Raaghav Dar, it stars Prateik, Kalki Koechlin, Arjun Mathur, Divya Dutta, Raj Zutshi and Shruti Seth.
And the third one is Malegaon Ka Superman. This one comes from the cottage film industry of Malegaon. Do check out its tagline.
