  • Trailer – Kick Ass!
    Have liked Matthew Vaughn’s previous efforts. More so since he’s not limited to a certain genre. So from Brit gangster movie (Layer Cake) to goofy fairy tale (Stardust) he now takes on a Mark Millar comic. Looks Kick Ass!

  • Amitabh in PAA : Full Trailer
    A lot of us have been anxious about Amitabh’s look in PAA. The trailer is out.  In this film, Amitabh suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Progeria where he ages faster than the normal biological clock.  Abishek and Vidya play parents to him. I like the music ( Illaya Raja). This is Balki’s next after Cheeni Kum. Enjoy!

Hopefully Rang Rasiya , based on Ranjit Desai’s novel, does full justice to the different...
