Rating Scale
Wogma in the News
Satyameva Jayate - Preview
: Yet another predictable action thriller on the cards. The cat-and-mouse game might just make it worth our while. Just.
Gold - Preview
: Ironically, the trailer is rather uninspiring. Or maybe it is a case of too many movies of the same genre in the last few years?
Karwaan - Preview
: The reason behind this road trip itself had me in splits. Totally looking forward to it.
Fanney Khan - Preview
: Body-shaming, reality shows, rags to riches, dreaming big – all packed into one. Even if it sounds largely familiar, the trailer is amusing enough to give it a go.
Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3 - Preview
: The trailer makes you curious as is usual for this series.
Dhadak - Preview
: Why would we want another Sairaat? Is there such a dearth of stories that we have to make another love story amidst familial wars? Trailer squashes any hope of a "different" narrative style.
Sanju - Preview
: A trailer that makes you as sceptical about the film as much as it makes you look forward to it.
Avengers: Infinity War - Preview
: Infinity War has too many characters in too little time. Strong feeling that this one might fall flat. Still, here's hoping the Russos can pull through like they have before.
Hichki - Preview
: The trailer certainly grabs your attention, even if it raises flags as it moves along. Will 'different' transgress into cliché and patronising? Here's hoping not.
Raid - Preview
: The director is the star attraction. Of course, there's the star too, but we've seen him do this way too many times. Hope director holds ground for something new!
Dil Juunglee - Preview
Pari - Preview
: Oh dear, looks like we do have a horror films on the cards. Might be a good one too. Even more reason for me to not look forward to it. hides
Aiyaary - Preview
: Aiyaary sounds and looks like a page right out of Neeraj Pandey's book. What then will he do differently this time to catch us by surprise?
Pad Man - Preview
: You want different? Here, take different. Portraying the real-life work of a sensitive man. Star power might overpower the real work done. Here's hoping not.
Padmaavat - Preview
: Spent hard-earned ₹709 for one ticket of the preview show. Not worried if it's money well-spent because I've promised myself that whether or not I like it, I'll watch it 2 more times in theater. You know, just because.
Mukkabaaz - Preview
: Excited that we have an Anurag Kashyap film, after what seems like ages. Underwhelmed by the trailer though.
Kaalakaandi (English, Hindi) - Preview
: A little out there, quirky, liberal with its abuse from the trailer, looks like Kaalakaandi just wants to shock. Hopefully, there's more to it.
Tiger Zinda Hai - Preview
: This "tiger" story seems to be on lather-rinse-repeat mode where the writers forgot to rinse. Only hope, is the hope to be proven wrong.
Fukrey Returns - Preview
: Same comedy again? Hope it will be more than 'just about tolerable', unlike the last time.
Kadvi Hawa - Preview
: The trailer itself is heartbreaking. Can't even imagine how intense the film will be. Looks like one of those films you ought to watch because it is difficult to watch.
Tumhari Sulu - Preview
: It is difficult not to smile through Sulu's eccentricities in the trailer. Looking forward to smile through the film too.
Qarib Qarib Singlle - Preview
Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana - Preview
: Oooooh! This is as sizzling as a small romantic film can be. The romance seems lukewarm, but the aftermath looks fiery!
Ittefaq - Preview
: Looks like a thriller worth its salt after a long, long time. Can't wait to watch it!
Secret Superstar - Preview
: Will Aamir Khan's arrogant character take over the essence of the Secret Superstar or will she be hold her own and give us a solid underdog film.
Golmaal Again - Preview
: So many layers. Layer after layer of disgust and shudders. Happy Diwali, it seems! Oh well...
Chef - Preview
: The father-son bond and banter are adorable and lovely as a concept. The trailer though seems dull. Hopefully, the film will capitalise on the former.
Judwaa 2 - Preview
: O-kay. So David Dhawan thinks we need another Judwaa. I can't see any good news there. Hoping to be proven wrong.
Bhoomi - Preview
: Hoping for some layers under the regular revenge drama.
Newton - Preview
: What a brilliantly intriguing trailer! Can't wait to watch this one!
Simran - Preview
: Kangna Ranaut playing a character with mental health issues, a vibrant open-minded lead lady. Sounds same ol'-same ol' but still feels fresh.
Lucknow Central - Preview
: Who would've thought we'd be saying, "another prisoners' music band" film? But here we are. Intrigued by how similar this one will be to the other.
Daddy - Preview
: Trailer makes it look like other underworld films. Hopefully, the "based on true story" bit will bring some revelations.
Shubh Mangal Saavdhan - Preview
: Ayushman Khurana takes on another super-taboo subject! This looks like it is going to be another fun watch.
Baadshaho - Preview
: Quintessential Ajay Devgn. Need we say more than waiting for the predictably enjoyable action drama?
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz - Preview
: A thriller where two contract killers want to outdo each other. The trailer leaves no room for uni-dimensional characters. Hope the film follows through.
Bareilly Ki Barfi - Preview
: Considering the cast, the trailer seems underwhelming. Hope there is a pleasant surprise beyond these two minutes.
Toilet Ek Prem Katha - Preview
: The concept is done and dusted with, in the trailer itself. Is there anything left to be said and understood? How different will the 'how it is told' be?
Jab Harry Met Sejal - Preview
: Because we need another DDLJ? No, wait. There has to be an Imtiaz angle that the trailers haven't given away. Please let there be.
Mubarakan - Preview
: Is it possible? Will I be able to enjoy a no-logic film for what it is?
Raag Desh - Preview
: A Tighmanshu Dhulia film is always a "looking forward to" film.
Indu Sarkar - Preview
: Looking forward to an intense drama. Will it add a much-needed lesson or even a sub-subject in text books, "Modern Indian History"?
Jagga Jasoos - Preview
: Musical? Animation? Live action? Detective story? Comedy? Romance? Empathy for stutterer? Jagga Jasoos looks like it is all of the above and more. Hopefully, it hasn't covered everything it has, in the trailer.
Mom - Preview
: Seems intense, with Sridevi playing out a mother's concern. Hope it's a thriller more than about a mom's angst.
Behen Hogi Teri - Preview
: Seems like that age ol' boy-girl story. Too familiar to evoke curiosity.
Sachin - A Billion Dreams - Preview
: There will be goosebumps for sure. But will it because of the film or the man, himself?
Meri Pyaari Bindu - Preview
: Hoping the lovely trailers haven't given all of the movie away.Hoping the lovely trailers haven't given all of the movie away.
Sarkar 3 - Preview
: No depth in story expected. Hoping that the depth in acting will make up for it all.
Bahubali 2 - The Conclusion - Preview
: Praying that it is more than "more of the same". The trailer sadly seems to indicate otherwise.
Noor - Preview
: The joker-journalist act didn't quite work in the trailer. Hope there is more journalist and less joker in the film.
Begum Jaan - Preview
: The "different" premise doesn't make it any more or less than a "fighting the oppressor" story. Hoping to be proven wrong.
Naam Shabana - Preview
: A regular "Akshay Kumar saves the world" film, only that a woman apparently takes lead in helping him through? Or is there hope of it being anything more?
Phillauri - Preview
: Cute concept, ghosts, fun, social message – could all go wrong. That Anushka Sharma is producer keeps hope alive.
Badrinath Ki Dulhania - Preview
: The trailer has a thick déjà vu feel about it. And yet again, I hope that my expectations are proven wrong.
Rangoon - Preview
: Performances vs. love triangle. Vishal Bharadwaj vs. a non-Shakespeare adaptation. The balance could tip either way, come February 24th.
The Ghazi Attack - Preview
: A war film with a likelihood of good performances does make it something to look forward to next week.
Jolly LLB 2 - Preview
: I'm always game for a courtroom drama, aren't you?
Befikre - Preview
: Boy meets girl and promise never to say "I love you." What happens next? eyeroll Let's head over to find out how predictable it will all be. And meanwhile hope that is not.
Kahaani 2 - Preview
: Kahaani 2 has a high standard to match up to. And so far it looks promising as a story even if not as a thriller.
Dear Zindagi - Preview
: The trailers define the word "cute", hope the film doesn't OD on cuteness.
rock on - Preview
: A sequel with a genuine addition. And yet I'm not sure I will find a hook in the film.
kunfu yoga - Preview
: Déjà vu. Sounds like the same struggle, the same frustration, the same camaraderie. Except Shraddha Kapoor. Doesn't remotely feel enough.
Shivaay - Preview
: Anything goes as long as the action looks cool, is what the trailer seems to scream.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil - Preview
: The trailer sizzles with chemistry. But, it also gives almost the entire plot away. Maybe, so that we can focus on the chemistry? Can't wait to find out.
Mirzya - Preview
: The music sounds more impressive than the trailer. Let's see if the movie lives up to the music, then.
M. S. Dhoni - The Untold Story - Preview
: Banking a lot on the "untold" part of the title. Else we know more or less what's coming, right?
Banjo - Preview
: Despite a high chance of being predictable, an underdog story that it is, Banjo seems like it is out to engage and entertain.
Pink - Preview
: A thriller. A court-room drama. Amitabh Bachchan. What's not to look forward to?
Baar Baar Dekho - Preview
: That once when it feels like the story is going to mess an average romcom.
Akira - Preview
: Trailer looks super-slick and has more than a few interesting hooks.
Happy Bhag Jayegi - Preview
: Romcom with a slight twist, will that be enough to entertain and charm?
Mohenjo Daro - Preview
: The civilization seems like just a change in setting for the story sounds pretty much the same.
Rustom - Preview
: The trailer makes it look like a very complicated thriller. Hope the movie doesn't over-simplify.
Madaari - Preview
: The actor and the director by default pique interest. Hope the movie is as exciting as the trailer.
Great Grand Masti - Preview
: Can't even be bothered to explain why I won't be watching this one :/
Udta Punjab - Preview
: Looks like a film that is out to shock. Will that make it a good film though?
Raman Raghav 2.0 - Preview
: Another gripping thriller expected this June!
TE3N - Preview
: Very intriguing trailer. And something says the movie will live up to it too.
Housefull 3 - Preview
: More of the same confusion, it will be. Can it be anything else?
Sarbjit - Preview
: A story that moves you or another Aishwarya Rai scream-fest?
Waiting - Preview
: Bummed that I will not be able to catch this first day. Was so looking forward to it, here's why...
Azhar - Preview
: Will it be an unbiased biopic? Unlikely.
Baaghi: A Rebel For Love - Preview
: Looks as generic as it gets. Hoping to be proven wrong.
Nil Battey Sannata - Preview
: Seems like a small story that is big-time after our hearts.
Laal Rang - Preview
: Ambiguity of the trailer brings intrigue.
Fan - Preview
: A strong statement about the 'star' system and stardom or a perfect example of an act of narcissism? Hoping for the former while dreading the latter.
Ki & Ka - Preview
: Looks like it is going to be a fresh way to reinforce stale gender stereotypes.
Rocky Handsome - Preview
: The action seems powerful, will the story thrill?
Kapoor & Sons - Preview
: Young, peppy and fresh it looks. But will it be any different from typical love triangles?
Jai Gangaajal - Preview
: Old wine, only the bottle's gender has changed? Seriously, hope there's more to it than that.
Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive - Preview
: The trailer suffers from a heavy dose of "sequel" syndrome. Hopefully, the film won't.
Aligarh - Preview
: The question is will I be able to handle the grit.
Neerja - Preview
: Two back-to-back weeks of expecting to enjoy the release of the week and from two completely different genres. February is on a roll!
Fitoor - Preview
: An intense romance. Bring it on!
Ghayal Once Again - Preview
: Ghayal set in today's times has actually been done to death already. Will there be anything new other than the business-politics-justice-administration nexus?
Saala Khadoos - Preview
: Always up for an underdog film, hoping for something new.
Mastizaade - Preview
: Another one I am happy to skip.
Airlift - Preview
: Looks like a thriller that might well be worth it!
Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 - Preview
: I'll sit this porn-com out.
All Is Well - Preview
: Feels like a slapstick-ized Piku? Not a good feeling for more reasons than one.
Bajirao Mastani - Preview
: It will be a visual treat is all I can think of.
Dilwale - Preview
: Cringe Cringe Cringe Cringe I foresee a lot more … wait for it ...Cringe
Masaan - Preview
: An indie film that makes you look forward to it beyond the "indie" tag.
Angry Indian Goddesses - Preview
: Will it go all out to prove a point just because it is supposed to or will it be a more focused, liberating experience?
Tamasha - Preview
: An Imitiaz Ali film always creates excitement. This one seems to want to be different by pointing out that all love stories are the same. Hopefully it is not digging its own grave.
Gulaab Gang - Preview
: One of those rare times that I'm looking forward to a film even though it is blatantly over-dramatized.
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo - Preview
: PremRatanDhanPayo #Preview Unexpectedly trailer has attractive lilt. Can it be more than Salman-Barjatya film? http://wogma.com/1159b #PRDP
Main Aur Charles - Preview
: Will it be suave and stylish devoid of substance or will it be a story that grips? The balance could really tip in either direction.
Titli - Preview
: Uncomfortable concept makes it something to look forward to.
Shaandaar - Preview
: The trailer is cute. Too cute, maybe?
Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 - Preview
: Another film which will have readers go, "you should have had a man review the film."
Jazbaa - Preview
: Aishwarya Rai is back. Whether or not that means anything to you, it's a thriller with a dilemma that has potential to keep you on the hook.
Singh Is Bliing - Preview
: It is difficult to take a film with that title, spelt like that seriously. I'm sure the movie won't be taking itself too seriously either.
Talvar - Preview
: What's not to look forward to? Sincere performances, a plot that promises to be different from the norm.
Calendar Girls - Preview
: Hoping against hope that there is a story of a glam-girl in there and is not sleaze for the sake of sleaze.
Katti Batti - Preview
: Another week, another Nikhil Advani film. Another romance. Hopefully, this contemporary one will work better.
Welcome Back - Preview
: Another movie I am almost tempted to skip. But one can't bail out of work, every time the going gets tough, can they? Can they?
Tashan - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Getting the pre-conceived notions out of the system to give Tashan a fair view -
Phantom - Preview
: The combination of thriller and a disturbing, real-life incident doesn't quite work. At least, not in the trailer.
Manjhi The Mountain Man - Preview
: A film that guarantees wonderful performances just by mention of its cast. The rest will hopefully follow too.
Brothers - Preview
: Hopefully the intense fight sequences are accompanied by a good story.
Drishyam - Preview
: An intriguing combaiation of a murder mystery and good vs evil story. Hope it is less of the latter.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan - Preview
: A difficult decision is on the cards. To watch or not to watch? Should I not watch a film due to factors related to an actor's personal life?
ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2 - Preview
: More of the same, shouldn't be what sequels are about, no? Here's hoping it is not.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani - Preview
: This might just be the intense romance we haven't had in a long while.

: A little underwhelmed by the trailer. Hopefully, the movie will sort that out.
Tanu Weds Manu Returns - Preview
: trailer makes you forgive title of the film.
Bombay Velvet - Preview

: Looks like we are looking at a yet another film that makes us go, "not again".

: Yet another Bhatt super-natural revenge drama, only this time you cannot see the hero.

: Is it different? Is it a sex comedy? Is it a sex comedy with a difference? Hoping for the best is all I can say.
NH10 - Preview
: Looks very intense! Hope is too.
Bewakoofiyaan - Preview
: Director, Nupur Ashtana's previous film, Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge was a surprise, pleasant enough to make you look forward to her next film. It had a nice, young zeal about it that was contagious spreading to its viewers.
Badlapur - Preview
: Let's hope the drama is riveting as this director is capable of.
Roy - Preview
: A trailer that actually creates intrigue.
Shamitabh - Preview
: If only the title could rid itself of the implied narcissism.
Ugly - Preview
: The trailer looks tame by Anurag Kashyap standards, which could go either way for the film.
PK - Preview
: Why does the trailer look like the films should've been named AK? Hope the film is different.
Action Jackson - Preview
: As the name suggests, you are asked to expect very little other than action, and over-stylized that too.
Ungli - Preview
: Raises no hopes, nor kills them with its trailer.
Happy Ending - Preview
: A sex comedy that kind-of sort-of could be fun?
Pappu can't dance saala - Preview
: Light or romantic comedies about people coming from the middle-class seem like they were from ages ago. From the age of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee. From the synopsis, Pappu Can't Dance Saala looks like a modern-day version of those stories.
Happy New Year - Preview
: Bring the typical masala on.
Bang Bang - Preview
: It's Hrithik Roshan time of the year. You just sit back, watch and hope to find something you enjoy.
Haider - Preview
: Of course! Looking forward to this adaptation by Vishal Bharadwaj.

: A love story with a royal flavor and yet doesn't get you excited but for Parineeti Chopra's presence.
Finding Fanny - Preview
: Quirk and the actors make you look forward to it indeed.
Mary Kom - Preview
: It is exciting to see a mainstream actress take on one off-beat role after another. I'm looking forward to this one, even if it is a little more dramatized than a film ought to be.
Raja Natwarlal - Preview
: Smart Aleck conman. Emraan Hashmi, Kay Kay Menon and Paresh Rawal together. This one sits just in the center as far as expectations go.
Dev D - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - just wondering what makes atyachar (torture) worth it...
Mardaani - Preview

: Looks like this one will bank heavily on the performances.

Amit Sahni Ki List - Preview
: An interesting common urban youth premise for a romcom that just might connect with its audience.
Kick - Preview
: Yet, another Salman Khan action flick, Kick, except this time it also has Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Ek Villain - Preview
: Does this have the potential to be the long overdue thriller?
Humshakals - Preview
: Can we hope for two good laughs from this slapstick "comedy"? Just two?
Fugly - Preview
: Uninspiring trailer. Yet, there's a sliver of hope.
Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty - Preview
: It'll be more of the same, one can safely assume?
Rangrezz - Preview
: Rangrezz - produced by Vashu Bhagnani, lead actor Jacky Bhagnani. Just saying. Three films with Jacky Bhagnani as the protagonist and all three produced by Vashu Bhagnani. Just Saying. Call me judgmental and/or conservative, but it does make you wonder about the confidence the father-son duo have in the son's talent - is it over-confidence or diffidence?
Total Siyapaa - Preview
: Some times equal number of negative and positive expectations from a film means average and not neutral.
Queen - Preview
: It is sweet to be taken by surprise. A Kangna Ranaut film that you can look forward to. How lovely!
Shaadi Ke Side Effects - Preview
: A romcom with Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan together? Bring it on! Even if they make an unlikely couple.
Highway - Preview
: One of those rare trailers, where everything about it, gets you excited about the film.
Gunday - Preview
: The opening line of the trailer announces in Irrfan Khan's voice that this story character driven. It does get you interested, but then soon enough he tells you that a city like Kolkata is known for the friendship of two people and you know which direction the film is headed - exaggeration, inflated opinion about self and so on. I understand it is a creative liberty and so on, yet it also tells me not enough thought has been put into it.
Hasee Toh Phasee - Preview
: We have another round of romcoms on our cards in the coming few weeks. Starting with One by Two, to be followed by next week's release Hasee Toh Phasee. As most other romcoms appear in their trailers, this one too looks fresh and out there with its craziness.
One By Two - Preview
: Guess it's time for a rom-com anyway.
Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story - Preview
: So, who is looking forward to Vivek Oberoi's next film? What, no one? Oh come on, the man is coming back after ages. Still, no one? Oh well, who am I kidding, I'm one of them too.
Jai Ho - Preview
: A Salman Khan film is a Salman Khan film is a Salman Khan film, right?
Roadside Romeo - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Just excited about the quality of animation!
Dedh Ishqiya - Preview
: The year might just start out on a positive note. With a cast like this, the one thing you can look forward to is ace-class performances. You get lovely glimpses in the official trailer itself.
Yaariyan - Preview
: The trailer starts of with juvenile boy humor almost making you close it down within the first 15 seconds. But, if you stick through it, it surprises you with some serious business, patriotism of some kind, no less. And Deepti Naval!
Tahaan - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Just inquisitive about the combination of a serene trailer and a chaotic backdrop
Raavan - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Just refraining my excitement lest…
Dhoom 3 - Preview
: With skepticism, but looking forward to what could be the film of the year - commercially, at least.
Karzzzz - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Just wondering how I'll resist using 'zzzz' and keep myself from taking 'vengeance' in the review if I don't like the movie...
Bullett Raja - Preview
: Just because it is a Tigmanshu Dhulia film.

: Is it me or has the publicity for this one been really low-key?
Hello - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Just wondering if another youth-oriented movie can be well made?
Ram-Leela - Preview
: I was surprised to know that a lot of people I know personally are looking forward to watching Ram Leela. I first wondered if it was Ranbir Singh's pull or Deepika Padukone's or is it Sanjay Leela Bhansali? But, the trailer too are as interestingly put together.
Shorts - Preview
: Just want to watch it/them. As simple as that.
Satya 2 - Preview
: If the story and details are even half as much as Satya we have a decent film at hand, no?
Krrish 3 - Preview
: Coolest ever special effects in Hindi films, maybe. What else?
Mickey Virus - Preview
: In a neutral kind-of a way, looking forward to this one.
Race - Preview

: Another one I began looking forward to within the first few seconds of the trailer.

: It is time for an all-out, hilarious comedy. But, is this the one?
Grand Masti - Preview
: Am very tempted to call in sick at work, when it's time to review this one.
Zanjeer - Preview
: Do we really want someone in the place of good ol' angry young man?
Shuddh Desi Romance - Preview
: I look forward to films written by Jaideep Sahni. How many writers can we really say that about? He takes the ups and downs of a story in such perfect rhythm, that even though it is as predictable as it gets, you are hooked. If not the plot, the situations, if not that the smart dialogue, if none of those work, you at least have wonderfully smooth lyrics, sample this.
Satyagraha - Preview
: Another one I'm looking forward to. But, of course. ;)
Madras Cafe - Preview
: Certainly looking forward to this one, aren't you?
Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara - Preview
: Looks film-ier than the first episode, doesn't it?
Chennai Express - Preview
: Clinging on to little hope that the promos offer.
Issaq - Preview
: Absolutely nuetral about this one. Am I missing something?
Ramaiya Vastavaiya - Preview
: Oh dear! Not a Maine Pyaar Kiya clone!
D-Day - Preview
: An enticing thriller on the cards?
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag - Preview
: All eyes and hopes are on Farhan Akhtar to do something exceptional with this one. Are yours too?
Lootera - Preview
: Another love story. But, more importantly, another one that seems like it's worth looking forward to.
Ghanchakkar - Preview
: Who's not looking forward to #Ghanchakkar? Really? Here's why you should.
Shortcut Romeo - Preview
: Bad vs Evil. Intriguing.
Raanjhanaa - Preview
: Just when we thought we are maxed out on love stories.
Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 - Preview
: As if the first one wasn't enough.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani - Preview
: Absolutely looking forward to this one, aren't you?
Ishkq In Paris - Preview
: Wow! Preity Zinta is back! One of the recent Hindi films had the lead lady mimic Preity Zinta which is when I had to come and look up her next film. She certainly couldn't already be in the phase where there would be spoofs and tributes to her, right?
Aurangzeb - Preview
: Aurangzeb coming up next week. Looks like another Don, no?
Go Goa Gone - Preview
: Does the title make sense to anyone? The trailer makes it worse...
Shootout At Wadala - Preview
: Shootout at Wadala, set in the early 80s sets us up for a crime drama with much too much potential for action. The trailer itself points to typical Sanjay Gupta stylisation of fight sequences as John Abraham yells at the top of his lungs.
Bombay Talkies - Preview
: Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar - these two names in one film. Who would've thought of that? Bombay Talkies deserves extra points for this creativity alone. Add the other names Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee and you have all my attention.
Ek Thi Daayan - Preview
: Who knew that a Hindi horror film would invoke my genuine curiosity? I didn't. Of course, that Vishal Bharadwaj is associated with the film has a lot to do with the intrigue. Also, even though I didn't like his latest films as much as his earlier ones, there is faith, that the movie has a good chance of being good - either story-wise, or in treatment or it will entertain. We know it is not going to be a complete downer. And this is when he's not even directing the film.
Nautanki Saala! - Preview
: Ayushman Khurana's Vicky Donor and Rohan Sippy's Bluffmaster make you look forward to Nautanki Saala which brings them together. The trailer only adds on to that curiosity.
Chashme Baddoor - Preview
: Chashme Baddoor, a David Dhawan film starring Ali Zafar in the lead. That description by itself is a turn off for most, except, I guess, if you are charmed by Ali Zafar's chocolate boy looks. The trailers take this ahead and confirm that you really have very little to look forward to in the film. To top it off, it is a remake of what is considered a classic from the 80s. Something, not many from that generation would want changed, in the first place - let alone be tarnished to this extent.
Himmatwala - Preview
: Himmatwala proudly announces, "The 80s are back!" Uhhh...why is that a good thing? I mean, sure if it made me into a child again, it'd have been different. What it really means is the movies from the 80s are back - a sore reminder of my early experiences of cinema. Thank goodness for some films from the 70s. Many are amused now, when they see films from the 80s, those from my generation are nostalgic. But, even as a child I didn't like most of them, so a remake of anything called Himmatwala, Justice Choudhury, Tohfa just gives me shudders.
Sona Spa - Preview
: Sona Spa eerily sounds and looks similar to Table No. 21 - out of ordinary concept like sleep and dreams transfer with an underlying catch that gets you curious; a veteran actor who seems to play a character who is in complete control of all the weirdness around; a spa environment to start the scene out with. Even if this guess is right, I sure hope the climax and great reveal isn't as lame.
Aatma - Preview
: Aatma - another horror film on the horizon? This is getting a bit much, isn't it? One horror film a week. If there were any room left to be immune to the typical horror movie spook tactics, it'll be taken care of if horror films are released at this rate.
Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns - Preview
: A sequel which actually is a sequel, and not just cashing in on the prospect of a franchise - that's welcome already. So, we'll be back in the aristocratic world of the prince, his wife and a new gangster will enter the scene. And the new addition is none other than Irrfan Khan! We all know what magnificence they created last time director Tigmanshu Dhulia and Irrfan Khan got together in Paan Singh Tomar.
U Me Aur Hum - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Just my thoughts on the theme of the movie
The Attacks of 26/11 - Preview
: I find it very difficult to trust Ram Gopal Verma anymore. Despite an intriguing trailer and an engaging first seven minutes of The Attacks of 26/11, I don't feel like raising my hopes of liking a RGV product. I have to admit this is far more about his earlier films than it is about the promotional material of this film.
I, Me Aur Main - Preview
: I, Me Aur Main looks like it will be the perfect fix for the chick-flick starved me. But, John Abraham as a romantic lead has never struck as the best deal in town. The way his face contorts when he tries to emote love, is a put-off rather than inspiring aaawwww. However, the theme, that of a casanova, narcissist, vain guy seems to suit him well. So, overall I, Me Aur Main strikes like a film that can entertain.
Zila Ghaziabad - Preview
: Looks like every actor wants to be either a mean machine police officer or a mean machine goon. And everyone who has not played either of them earlier has been pitted against each other in Zila Ghaziabad, while a few others get to do a repeat performance - Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Vivek Oberoi.
Kai Po Che - Preview
: A Chetan Bhagat novel reads more or less like a screenplay. So, it is only fitting that it finds its way to becoming a film. They are easy reads and the stories are interesting even if not well-written from a literature point of view. This also means the film-maker gets a chance to add flourishes and make the narrative of the film worth sitting up for.
Murder 3 - Preview
: No one is expecting anything new out of this one from the Bhatt camp, is there? Same old combination of a few steamy scenes, a photographer/artist protagonist, and some fake spook. It's not because of the 'Murder' franchise, as it is because of the look and feel that the trailer carries. A very typical B-grade horror movie feel.
ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - Preview
: Kay Kay Menon! Oooooh...playing a dance teacher? Wow, really? Oh maybe that's what they mean by 'anybody can dance'. Or maybe he's just playing the dance company's manager. I have hardly ever seen Kay Kay Menon dance, but if he's really playing a dance teacher/choreographer I am already waiting to watch the film.
Special Chabbis - Preview
: I doubt there's anyone who has seen director, Neeraj Pandey's A Wednesday who won't want give Special Chabbis a chance. Despite Akshay Kumar. And of course, Akshay Kumar fans who haven't seen A Wednesday don't need any more credentials to watch Special Chabbis. Well played, I say.
Akaash Vani - Preview
: "From the makers of Pyaar Ka Punchnama" is Aakash Vaani's claim to fame. While I enjoyed Pyaar Ka Punchnama's youthful rant about the unreasonable attitude of today's girlfriends, it resonated really deep down with the youth of the country.
David (Hindi, Tamil) - Preview
: Even though I didn't particularly like Bijoy Nambiar's debut Shaitan, I am looking forward to his next one, David. With Shaitaan I got this distinct feeling that he wanted to put in everything he had ever wanted to put in his films in terms of style and coolness. I hope he has gotten over it.
Race 2 - Preview
: Didn't they exhaust all the twists and turns in Race? Apparently there is more revenge to be had, more exotic locations to be explored, more races to be begun and finished, more lame dialogue to be delivered and heard. But hey, no new music?
Inkaar - Preview
: And right behind a Vishal Bharadwaj film, we have a Sudhir Mishra film. And judging by the temperament in the country a couple of weeks ago, it is topical and treading a very dangerous line too.
Aa Dekhen Zara - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Just wondering how important it is for a Hindi film hero to dance...
Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola - Preview
: What a lovely way to start the year it will be! A Vishal Bharadwaj film that looks like it is full of energy and fun. And if we know anything from his filmography, it will surely have something more. What a pleasant surprise it is to see Shabana Azmi back in action. I am sure she alone will make the film worth the ticket price.
Dabangg 2 - Preview
: Badass Robin Hood is back. But, then was there ever a Goodass Robin Hood? Oh, look at me going about searching for logic and cohesion in a masala film, again!
Talaash - Preview
: Talaash is easily the most looked forward to film this year. While I'd have put Gangs of Wasseypur up there, but this one has a combination of names that makes you sit up and notice. I loved director, Reema Kagti's narration style and wit in Honemoon Travels Pvt Ltd and her story/screenplay in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. I'm already looking forward to Zoya Akhtar's next film after Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, who has penned Talaash's story with Reema Kagti. And they've brought in Farhan Akhtar and Anurag Kashyap for the dialogue! How could you not get excited, even if momentarily?
Jab Tak Hai Jaan - Preview
: All roads will lead to the theaters this Diwali to pay tribute to Yash Chopra.
Son Of Sardaar - Preview
: Better known as a dialogue writer than a director, Ashwani Dhir directs his third film, Son of Sardaar - this Diwali's quota of comedy. It looks more slapsticky and the typical over-the top that goes with it. Ajay Devgn seems to be playing a macho character but goes wimpy when confronted by Sanjay Dutt.
1920 Evil Returns - Preview
: Another month, another horror flick from the Bhatt camp. And this one doesn't make me look forward to it. Fortunately, this time around it is for the right reasons. It is not because I will end up laughing more than getting horrified but actually there is a good chance that I will get that genuine crawl under my skin which I so hate. It looks like an overall good job of atmosphere, acting, make-up and directing.
Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana - Preview
: The thick Punjabi flavor of Luv Shuv tey Chicken Khurana instantly associates it with films like Khosla ka Ghosla and Vicky Donor. And lo and behold it is brought to us by the people who brought Khosla Ka Ghosla. Other than the name Khurana, the brash yet charming unabashed nature of the characters assures you of some perfectly timed one-liners.
Chittagong - Preview
: Chittagong has been in production for quite a while now. And Ashutosh Gowariker's Khele Hum Jee Jaan Se came and went. With a more, if I may say so, 'serious' team at work here, hopefully we will see a lot more in terms of deeper characterization and flair in narration. That one made you feel too, but it was solely due to the story they wanted to narrate, a story that was already written.
Chakravyuh - Preview
: Chkravyuh had caught my attention the first time I saw the trailer because of the cast picked for the film. I wouldn't imagine Arjun Rampal or Esha Gupta in any cinema that was 'different' from the norm. And while I have always enjoyed the films Abhay Deol picks, somehow a policeman turned rebel isn't something I would have thought of him as. And I have always been a fan of anything that catches me off-guard.
Delhi Safari - Preview
: Delhi Safari looks like an animation film in Hindi that might actually justify it being in animation, is non-mythological and in fact looks like it has a story. The story involving animals wanting to save their home, their jungle looks like it is also going to justify the use of animals in the story. Else many a time you find stories using animals just to add some cute factor.
Student of the Year - Preview
: Something about the way love is depicted in the trailers of Student Of The Year says 'old school' (all pun intended). The love triangle, the songs, the overall look and feel is extremely mid-90s. The dances from the 'it's the time to diso'-ish 'disco diwane' to 'maahi ve'-ish 'Radha', only with worse music, lyrics and choreography makes you feel Bollywood has gone two steps behind in using music in their films. I thought we had grown past the structured, lip-synced songs. I guess not.
Bhoot Returns - Preview
: Another comeback by a lead actress from a decade or so ago. This time it's Manisha Koirala. She picks the horror genre and we have no less than Ram Gopal Verma directing the film. Very interesting combination, I say.
Aiyyaa - Preview
: It's been over a year and a half since the last Rani Mukerji film, No One Killed Jessica. I generally, like the films she picks, so I was reasonably excited to see that she's back. Till, till I realized she is playing a girl of a marriageable age. Not only that, but her character is all excitable and exuberant and likes to shriek just for thrills. This leaves too much scope for over-acting which is already demonstrated by the lady who plays her mother.
English Vinglish - Preview
: Sridevi is back! And I am not even a Sridevi fan, as in back in the days of Madhur Dixit vs. Sridevi, I was clearly in the Madhuri camp. Yet, I am excited to see her back. There is more meaning to these come backs by women leads from 15-20 years ago who took time off for family and now are playing their age. Okay, maybe a little younger, but nevertheless, it is exciting to see them trying stuff different from what they were known for.
OMG Oh My God - Preview
: A man challenges the existence of God, sounds like a totally fun concept that will question some beliefs and blind faith. It also challenges the men (and women) of God which is more interesting for a person like me who shares the protagonist's angst against the people who make people do ridiculous stuff in the name of God.
Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal - Preview
: Another story by Priyadarshan with a good-for-nothing protagonist being proud of doing nothing, his only complaint being he is hit by anyone and everyone. The humor shall be added this once by a very hungry bodyguard to this protagonist, played by Nana Patekar. The very mention of 'very hungry' bring visuals of Nana Patekar stuffing his face in the name of comedy. And voila, all predictions come true right in the trailer.
We are family - Preview
: Just bracing myself for a high-pitched domestic fight
Heroine - Preview
: The opening line of the trailer says that all heroines in the film industry – Hollywood or Bollywood – are moody, crazy and over-emotional.
Barfi! - Preview
: How can you not look forward to Barfi! after watching this trailer?
Raaz 3 - Preview
: We have what, one Bhatt film a month, these days? Or at least, that's what it seems like. And almost every other one is horror. So lavish homes, pretty women either scaring or getting scared, savior hero, stage is set.
Joker - Preview
: I must say that Joker does invoke curiosity in the promos after you get past the typical loudness of a masala film. Just when you are about to dismiss the trailer as yet another mindless action-comedy starring Akshay Kumar, the concept makes you smile and hope that maybe this once we have something really different from what we've seen in Hindi films so far. The protagonist inviting attention towards his tiny, irrelevant village by creating aliens. He needs to do this because this village is ignored by the rest of the world.
Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi - Preview
: Romantic comedy. Unexpected use of actors in lead pair. Débutante director who has taken this risk. Reminders of Boman Irani from Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. These are the instant hooks that work for Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi.
Ek Tha Tiger - Preview
: Here comes the mandatory, annual, Salman Khan, Eid release.
Gangs of Wasseypur 2 - Preview
: Come August 8th, the wait shall finally be over. It's not an epic I am waiting for, it is more like one of those 13 episode thriller TV serials whose season finale I'm waiting for.
Jism 2 - Preview
: Sunny Leone - ahem ahemm;
Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum - Preview
: Kya Kool Hain Hum was one of those films that you wanted to forget while you were watching it. One of those embarrassing ones where you wouldn't want anyone you know to see you in the theater. And when you step out of the theater you want to scrub off any residual memory there might be lying around. Only, that the writer decides to turn director and refuses to let you do any of that. We are soon going to be face-to-face with Kya SuperKool Hain Hum.
Cocktail - Preview
: Another rom-com, another drama. Another film aiming at looking young despite having a 40+ year-old in the lead being balanced off by pretty thin things - one boisterous, one meek. Yet, the romance and film lover in me is looking forward to it.
Bol Bachchan - Preview
: After murdering the title of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Golmaal, Rohit Shetty is now out to tear to pieces the film itself by re-making it. Having to get over this crime and judge Bol Bachchan for what it is, is going to be one difficult task.
Teri Meri Kahaani - Preview
: Another romantic saga, another musical, another festival of colors. Another chance for Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra to try on different attires from different era and make the clothes look pretty. But also another chance that we might have decent drama to watch.
Gangs of Wasseypur - Preview
: If there's one name I'd like to blindly follow and watch every film that he had anything to do with, it would have to be Anurag Kashyap's. Even beyond Amitabh Bachchan. There, I said it.
Ferrari ki Sawari - Preview
: Ferrari Ki Sawaari seems to be a fun film sandwiched between two political dramas, Shanghai and Gangs of Wasseypur. While, it might be a good break between two potentially heavy films, I don't think it will be a break from meaningful, good cinema. I like what the Vidhu Vinod Chopra - Rajkumar Hirani combination has produced, thus far. A lovely, flavorful mix where humor addresses a socially relevant issue.
Shanghai - Preview
: Even though I haven't completely enjoyed all of Dibakar Banerjee's films, I look forward to his next one. That's the intrigue he brings to the films he makes. And each one is a different genre.
Tees Maar Khan - Preview
: Bond-ish title music, Inspector Gadget-ish look -
Toonpur ka superhero - Preview
: Munni vs. Sheila isn't enough? We have a Loveena vs. Katrina, in a kids' animated film, no less. Is the idea to develop our kids into thinking it ain't a movie till it has an item number in it?!
No one killed Jessica - Preview
: The turning over off the verdict of the Jessica Lal Muder case to give a life-time imprisonment sentence to a well-connected accused, is a precedent of the power of media, should they decide to use it. Dramatizing it with a strong cast and making it into a Hindi film is the need of the hour, if not anything else. The number of scams that 2010 saw makes a film showcasing the power of the audience, a necessary welcome to 2011.
Jumbo - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Just wondering if this one is really for the kids unlike some other films floating around in the name of kids movies...
Tezz - Preview
: Except for the basic questions - like how will they justify the darkness of a gray character in the main lead and will the journey towards that justification involve enough tug and war between good and evil - nothing in Tezz seems to be extraordinary. Yet the basic questions by themselves are intriguing enough.
Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi - Preview
: A very low key promotion tells you very little about Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi. I love watching movies that I don't know much about, the experience is pretty cool. On the other hand though, the one promo that the film does have doesn't seem too promising. Oh well, let's just wait and watch then.
Vicky Donor - Preview
: If the trailer is anything to go by Vicky Donor looks like a fun ride and insightful too. The kind of insight that will be subtle for the willing to take and the oblivious to ignore yet enjoy. Having seen the entire team's interviews, it looks like a bunch of people who's work I'd appreciate. What do you think?
Hate Story - Preview
: Another low budget, barely marketed film. Even so, it's remarkable that the sizzling trailer became viral. Sex, does indeed sell then. We can imagine what the film will have in that department from the trailer, question is what will hold those erotic scenes together? Or will it just be what it looks like - near-porn, even if it is intentionally so?
Bittoo Boss - Preview
: New faces are always exciting, but somehow Bittoo Boss' lead pair has given me the creeps ever since I saw it's first trailer in the theater. Hopefully, some good, simple humor will sail us through what looks like a rom-com.
Housefull 2 - Preview
: Sajid Khan leading a pack of 'the dirty dozen' - it couldn't get any more chaotic than that. I'm sure all of us are expecting an extremely loud, obnoxious, intermittently offensive with the intention of being funny, caricatures for characters, and a couple of hearty laughs. It's just that some of us enjoy this brand of humor and some of us don't. Another category of people who must be really looking forward to Housefull 2 are the Akshay Kumar fans. While I personally don't look forward to any of this, I must admit that I liked the first episode of this series a little more than I had expected. So here's going in to the theater with fingers crossed.
Agent Vinod - Preview
Jannat - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Taking a look at what Vishesh Films have to offer next.
Kahaani - Preview
: I doubt there's anyone who won't give Vidya Balan a five-on-five for her acting just based on the trailer. And, at least I am very intrigued by the story line too.
London Paris New York - Preview
: A quick word on what the London Paris New York trailer invoked.
Paan Singh Tomar - Preview
: A quick word on what the Paan Singh Tomar trailer invoked.
Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya - Preview
: Looks like Valentine's Day is extending its stay in Bollywood. Another rom-com. Another exuberant woman pairing up with a timid man.
Jodi Breakers - Preview
: The business of breaking people up. Sounds so similar to the French film, Heartbreaker. And yet, the name and the love-in-the-air notion that February brings, give away what the film is going to be about. Not to mention the romance between the two Jodi breakers of the film.
Ekk Deewana Tha - Preview
: On the other end of "Valentine's Day" week is Ek Deewana Tha. Two boy-meet-girl films back-to-back might just get a bit much to handle, no?
Ek Main Aur Ek Tu - Preview
: Boy meets girl and turns out they are married. And they start working backwards. The basic problem with such a premise is we know how the film is going to end. The synopsis of the film, tries to build suspense with questions like -
Agneepath - Preview
: I'd assume that someone wants to remake a film that they produced twenty years ago, because they see scope to improve it. Or at the very least, make it a different experience. So, you have Sanjay Dutt replace Danny Denzongpa - just his "look" is enough to make me believe that this is for the better. He instills disgust from the trailer itself.
Chaalis Chauraasi - Preview
: Chaalis Chauraasi's trailer says pretty much zilch about the film. You sort-of kind-of make out that the four characters are probably acting like police officers to pull something off. What? We don't know. Our assumption, that they are acting like officers and aren't really cops, is on shaky grounds too. All we know is they have no plan for whatever it is they are planning on doing.
Ghost - Preview
: Shiney Ahuja, the name, comes with a snicker and more. And just when I thought that the last joke on his personal laugh was dead, and thus his career, I saw a trailer of a film called Ghost and...well, I snickered.
Players - Preview
: Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bobby Deol, Sikander Kher - read these names in one breath and you should be looking up for jokes on twitter. I bet you there are some very good ones doing the rounds. Most of them are "stars" but none of them is twinkling too well, right now. So the audience is bound to be skeptical and thus have a laugh or two at the combination's expense.
Don 2 - Preview
: The last scene of Don had made Don 2 a must watch for me. The first shot of the teaser promised that there's no way it will disappoint as far as style is concerned. There is this slight worry about it getting over-stylized, given that it is an out-and-out Shah Rukh Khan the worry only gets stronger.
Ladies VS Ricky Bahl - Preview
: Déjà vu is not a good feeling to have when you are watching a film's trailer. And Ladies Vs. Ricky Bahl evokes a strong "been there, seen that" emotion. Not only have we seen Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh who form the lead pair, together not too long ago in Band Baaja Baaraat, they also seem to be playing similar characters too - street-smart and upbeat about life. And both the films are directed by Maneesh Sharma.
The Dirty Picture - Preview
: The Dirty Picture has hit bull's eye with its first audience interaction - the title of the film. You might hate what you see, but you are curious to see what a film titled The Dirty Picture is about, for sure - age/gender/income/location no bar. The second on-target bullet is the poster. It evokes a reaction - it could be disgust or curiosity. And the final blow is when Vidya Balan talks her slutty talk in the trailers. Sample this -
Desi Boyz - Preview
: Desi Boyz's trailer leaves a very unsettled feeling.
Rockstar - Preview
: Rockstar...Imtiaz Ali is who I think of even before Ranbir Kapoor (like it should be, but isn't always. case in example, here's a rapid fire question for you - who's film is Ra.One?). Imtiaz Ali has a 2 out of 2 track record for me. I haven't watched Socha Na Tha yet. Yes, yes, will correct that error before I watch Rockstar, I promise. But anyway, the one phrase preview for Rockstar would be - "Looking forward to it! Period."
Ra.One - Preview
: Update: I really liked this trailer and the idea of a stronger villain! Only issue is now I know a little too much of the story. :) Thanks for the link @Shantanu! -
Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge - Preview
: Mujhse Fraaanship Karoge - with a wannabe title like that, there isn't really much I expect from the film. That combined with falsifying identities to impress the opposite gender, sounds like we have a reasonably lame film at our hands.
Love Breakups Zindagi - Preview
: Love Breakups Zindagi seems to be satisfying this week's requirement of the "a rom-com a week" trend. And given how clichéd the genre can get, the movie looks promising. Despite, Zayed Khan. Case-in-point, minute 1:33 in the trailer below. Awesome line, awful delivery.
Rascals - Preview
: Rascals, another swear word becomes a movie title. Another loud, brash, mash-up of sms jokes becomes a film. Another David Dhawan film is knocking at theaters.
Hum Tum Shabana - Preview
: The good news is it will be pretty easy to watch Hum Tum Shabana with a clean slate. All that I enjoyed in Bheja Fry was appropriately cancelled out by Bheja Fry 2. So, there are actually zero expectations from Sagar Ballary's Hum Tum Shabana.
Tere Mere Phere - Preview
: Vinay Pathak is one of those names that instantly makes me look forward to a film. So there is a strong hope that the upcoming rom-com Tere Mere Phere is likely to provide decent entertainment. And who doesn't love marital banter? Hopefully it will be in moderation and will spoof life at home appropriately.
Force - Preview
: There is nothing exciting about an action film. For example, from the trailer it looks like none of the action elements will have anything we haven't seen in Hollywood before. Well, Hollywood these days, hardly has anything that we haven't seen in Hollywood before. Besides, the 2.5-minute trailer of Force itself gives away the entire set-up of the film. My estimate is, that covers the first hour of the film or so.
Mausam - Preview
: When I first heard that Pankaj Kapur is directing a film, I had this imagery of a grim and gritty film. And when I saw the first look of the film, I didn't know what to make of it because it was as romantic a picture as it could get. The trailer puts all doubts to rest, if there were any left after seeing the poster.
Mere Brother Ki Dulhan - Preview
: Mere Brother Ki Dulhan - The title pretty much gives it away. And what's left is given away by the trailer.
That Girl In Yellow Boots - Preview
: Another film I'm looking forward to! I had seen the first trailer ages ago when a fellow-Kashyap-enthusiast had plugged a link on facebook or twitter. And yep, you are right, I'd have been excited about the film even if I hadn't watched the trailer. Just Anurag Kashyap announcing his next film is usually good enough.
Bodyguard - Preview
: "More of the same" I can whine and cry my heart out, but some Salman Khan enthusiasts can dance with joy at the prospect of watching "more of the same" from him. Movies such as these are beyond reviews and opinions for die-hard fans.
Bol (Bengali, English, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu) - Preview
: Having been so blessed in life, I often think of the things that I should be grateful for. The list always seems to be never ending, but invariably it ends at one thing... that I was born a MAN. Nothing in the world scares me more than the thought of being born a woman or a eunuch in a country like Pakistan.
Not A Love Story - Preview
: Not A Love Story is based on a true story. Two lovers kill a man and very Dexter-ously chop the body into pieces such that the parts fit in a few garbage bags. What seems to have caught director, Ram Gopal Verma's attention though, is that not only are these heinous mudrerers common people with good family backgrounds, but they also made love in front of a dead body. This scandalized the director enough to make it the main point of the film. The main theatrical trailer is adequately disgusting. And we can look forward to a nerve-chilling thriller.
Aarakshan - Preview
: I heard of Aarakshan very recently. It's very difficult not to get me excited about a political drama. And with a title like Aarakshan, a topic so close to home, I instantly began looking forward to the film.
Singham - Preview
: The first I heard about Singham, I heard of it as Ajay Devgn's Dabangg. And what else can you say, when you see this -
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara - Preview
: It's raining "guy" films, Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Delhi Belly, and now Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Given the track record of the earlier two and the promos of the latest addition, there is a lot to look forward to.
Chillar Party - Preview
: Salman Khan turns producer. And he makes a kids' movie, no less. Well, whether or not, it's a movie for kids or not we don't know yet. But it's a movie with lots of kids in it. Kids who like mean machines. Kids who mean business. Kids who look like they have taken their Dabangg lessons from the master.
Murder 2 - Preview
: Vishesh Films usually makes half-decent products. They have their own formula, we can even label it the "Bhatt" formula. The gray characters across films have similar characters. Yet, since they come out at fairly paced intervals, they are a refreshing watch. They never touch "great" or "awesome" but they aren't outright bad either. I've always enjoyed the texture of their films.
Bbuddah hoga tera baap - Preview
: I roll my eyes when I see the next Salman Khan or the next Akshay Kumar or even the next Shah Rukh Khan film being announced. (A little less exasperated with SRK films because they have some sort-of a story going around about them). But with the others, it is assumed that the audience who wants to see them in films doesn't want to see a story at all. It is very easy for me to do the eye-roll because I don't really care much for any of their acting skills. But when the STAR is someone you have admired for the last 30 years, or ever since you understood what films are all about. You sit back and give out a big "NO!!!" I mean look at this synopsis on the official site -
Delhi Belly - Preview
: The first I heard of Delhi Belly it created a decent enough buzz because Aamir Khan is producing it, etc. The next thing I know, I see the trailer, I am shocked and then I just can't stop laughing. D K Bose. How cheeky is that! Of course, I got over it soon enough and started wondering what I should be doing if my kids start singing it. But look at these people in the making of the song. It's amazing how they are keeping a straight face while talking about it.
Always Kabhi Kabhi - Preview
: "Always Kabhi Kabhi" What is that? What in goodness' name is that? Who talks like that? To top it off have smirky thoughtful Shah Rukh Khan go, "kabhi kabhi aapne socha hai ki aap school mein always kya karte the?" (Sometimes have you wondered what you always did in school? - sounds weird in Hindi.) It just sounds wrong, even if it might be in its own way, grammatically correct.
Bheja Fry 2 - Preview
: We have seen Vinay Pathak play that avoidable co-passenger both in the first episode of Bheja Fry and recently in Chalo Dilli. He was brilliant and surely we can see more of that, if it is coming from him. But the situations will have to be better and unpredictable to maintain the tempo and viewer interest. More so because it is a sequel. We are all skeptical about them and for good reason. The promos aren't helping either -
Shaitan - Preview
: "There's a dark side in all of us", sounds so Dexter-y. But, that's what Shaitan's arresting posters are trying to say too. Considering how interesting the poster is, the trailer is a bummer.
Ready - Preview
: Salman Khan. Anees Bazmee. Together. Is this payback for my misdeeds from previous lives?
Stanley Ka Dabba - Preview
: A trailer left me feeling warm towards the protagonist Stanley. He is endearing and he is real.
Ragini MMS - Preview
: A scary date movie. The trailer itself is scary and it looks sleazy enough to be a dirty date film, the kinds that has enough making out in it and that makes you hold hands/hug tight because of the terror it creates.
I AM (English, Hindi) - Preview
: The synopsis tells us about the people that form four stories that the film compiles. Each one of them have lost their identity because of various socio-political reasons. They can move on only if they deal with their past. The film touches upon taboo topics - homosexuality, sexual abuse, motherhood without a man.
Dum Maro Dum - Preview
: There used to be a time when I looked forward to an Abhishek Bachchan film, those were the days of Bluffmaster and Kuchh na Kaho. There was something very slick about his stylish walk and the pauses in his dialogue deliver. Now the very same things have become a drudgery.
Thank you - Preview
: I go to watch films to like them. I rarely go with a preconceived notion because I believe that there will be something or the other to appreciate I the film - one scene, one joke, one song, one shot. Every single thing that I've seen or read about Thank you or know about its makers makes me resent the prospect of having to watch the film. I'm just not looking forward to watching this film because -
F.A.L.T.U - Preview
: Do you not shudder at the thought of a choreographer trying his hands at direction? The thought brings back scary
Game - Preview
: An action thriller! I for one can't have enough of them, especially if they have world-class production values. Yes, it is important for this genre to look polished. And if nothing else, slick films is what we have come to expect from, anything that Farhan Akhtar (as producer in Game) gets involved with. Here's the sample -
7 khoon maaf - Preview
: There's an irresistible, tingling excitement at the mention of a Vishal Bharadwaj film. And why not? Just look at this list -
Patiala House - Preview
: Akshay Kumar - My system is now trained to bring a flow of reflex actions at the mention of the name - that of a grimace, which turns into a cringe and ends in a shudder. And that's sad because we have seen glimpses of the actor in him in Aankhen and if I remember right, Khakee. I know that's too few and way too far between considering the colossal blunders that he has made since then. But the 'never say die' spirit in me still looks for those glimpses, after all I go there to watch a good film.
Dil to Bacha Hai Ji - Preview
: A Madhur Bhandarkar film that is not an expose. Or will it expose that elusive emotion - love? Looks like a decent entertainer. We'll know better soon-soon.
Dhobi Ghat - Preview
: Yet another film about Mumbai? Yet another boy meets girl only times 3 this time? Naah...any film which is associated with Aamir Khan is supposed to have a bit more. Hoping that the impressive promo will translate into a film that goes beyond. We'll know soon enough.
Rakht Charitra 2 reprise - Preview
: Absolutely loved the slideshow promo -
Khele Hum Jee Jaan Se - Preview
: Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey sounds very exciting because of the walk down history it promises. One, I don't regret getting bored in History lessons. Two, it is almost guaranteed to be 'different' from the regular romance, action, masala. Now whether or not it will be a good film, we will know soon enough.
Break Ke Baad - Preview
: The question is no longer, "how many love stories can you watch?" It is now, "how many love stories with break-ups and the inevitable patch-ups can you watch?" And at this rate, it might as well be, "how many love stories starring Deepika Padukone having break-ups can you watch?"
Allah ke Banday - Preview
: Allah ke Bandey is about two juvenile delinquents. So it is about how they are treated in jail for juveniles and what becomes of them when they come back to real world. But this awesome trailer shows there's more meat. It is also about relationships and perceptions. I am absolutely kicked about seeing this film.
Guzaarish - Preview
: Anticipating to be completely awestruck by colorful canvasses one after the other, two hours in a row. So what if there is nothing more to look forward to?
Golmaal 3 - Preview
: Every time someone complains of brainless stuff being said or shown on radio/TV/films, there is someone in the drawing room conversation who'll say, "this is what the people want". And every time this happens, I seethe with anger, control it down to irritation, and try to make an argument against the statement. In vain, of course. With Golmaal 3 around the corner, I might as well talk to walls. The film's trailer blatantly lays the onus on the viewer.
Action Replayy - Preview
: NOT A REVIEW - Just wishing that this will not be a superficial trip down memory lane, via stereotypical costumes and hairdos.
Jhootha hi sahi - Preview
: "Boy meets girl. On the phone. Boy lies about stuff. Love happens. Time to tell truth, now what?" That's almost your every other love story. Sure, it might not be the very premise of the plot like it is in Jhootha Hi Sahi, but the theme makes its way into a part of a love story, more often than I'd like. Mainly because it's cliché and given the genre we generally know how it's going to end. And the worst part is that there is barely anything one can do to make the inevitable "forgiving of all lies ever said" look fresh.

Hello Everyone!! It's May first (April fools!) It's APRIL 1st, and you know what that means!! Time for another Spiegelmom Scraps Sparkler's blog hop!!! I'm so glad you have decided to join us today, we have some amazing talent and inspiration here for you!!
You should have arrived here from our Amazingly talented leader, Jody!! Her layouts are always so fabulous!!!
Today, I have a really fun and circular layout to share with you! I was inspired to use the circles from the face my daughter is making in the photos! She was just learning to make sounds and surprised herself!
I added 2 strips of pattern from my scrap box down the left side of the page after the splatters were dry. For my circles, I used my scan n cut to fill my mat with various size circles, and left some solid, some with the centers cut out. I arranged the cut circles on my page in a diagonal from top left to bottom right.
My photos are mounted on light pink cardstock to help them stand out and brighten up them up since the background is so dark. I used foam tape to adhere them, slightly tilted, to the page. Next, I added my title to the left photo, on the bottom corner, using sparkly gold thickers.
To add more texture and shine to the page, I added some Love You Ton felties to some of the solid circles and Chunky Cork Hearts in the cut out circle centers. A felt and cork heart are next to my title also, to keep them flowing around the page.
The shimmer and sparkle are from a mix of great sequin mixes from the shop. I used Moonshine Delight, Aqua Marine Dream and the new Rockin Pink Ombre to sprinkle around the page, I added them in groups of 3 or 5 to make sure they were pleasing to my eye. I matted my entire white page onto a pink cardstock mat for a more finished look. Date stamp and Remember This stamped around the right photo finished this layout and I am really happy with it!!
I hope you will check out the SpiegelMom Scraps shop for some of the wonderful products I used or for any of the other amazing products!! Use LISA15 to recieve 15% off all your shop purchases.
Now, to continue this hop, be sure to head on over to Christy's wonderful blog,https://christysbeautifullife.wordpress.com/2017/04/01/sms-april-blog-hop/ and check out her wonderful project!!

The protocol I use for collecting human DNA samples requires tubes to be vortexed for 10 minutes. Standing around for a sixth of an hour is not my idea of fun so I decided to get a foam tube holder. Unsurprisingly a piece of foam with holes in it costs 50 dollars. As per my usual I wanted to be a cheapass and thus I built my own foam tube holder with some things I had lying around. If you want to see the DIY tube holder in action, watch the youtube video below and scroll further down for instructions for building your own.
Before attempting this guide make sure your vortexer will work with this method. Check the type of head piece present on your vortexer, consult the diagram below for an example of two different types (#12+13 and #14). This guide works for vortexers with head pieces that match #14. New vortexers usually come with both of these pieces and used vortexers (like the one I bought) may only come with one type.
The tools and consumables I list are not absolute. Use your noggin and substitute if necessary.
Dremel (a drill can be used for some steps but not for carving foam)
- Sanding bits are needed for foam carving (see image below)
- Cutting tool
- Drill bit
- Sanding bits are needed for foam carving (see image below)
- Ruler or measuring tape
- Hand saw
- Marker
- Compass (optional)
- Foam block
- plastic box (I used a large pipette tip box that was 4″x5″)
- Rubber bands
- Foam block
These are the two dremel tips I used to carve the foam.
Two types of modifications need to be done to the plastic box. First, a hole needs to be made in the center that will allow the vortexer head to poke through. This alteration will prevent the tube holder from wobbling off of the vortexer head. For my vortexer the size of the required hole was 1-1/4″. The second modification is the addition of 4 grooves to the top of the box so that the rubber bands do not slip.
Prior to drilling and cutting grooves. Yellow circles indicate approximate target locations for the grooves.
After drilling and cutting grooves
Close-up of the grooves
How the box fits onto the vortexer head.
Now it is time to carve the block of foam. My box was not perfectly square; the top of the box (the opening) is larger than the bottom of the box. This odd shape can be ignored but do make sure to use the top of the box for determining the foam block size. I made a block that was 4-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ x 2″. It is very important that the width and length match or slightly exceed the size of the box so that the foam sits tightly inside the box.
My block
My original block was too tall. Rather than cut grooves in the foam for the rubber bands and have a tall block (which is preferable for large tubes), I decided to cut the foam down so that it was flush with the box.
Carving and cutting the holes in the foam can be frustrating. Make as few cuts and holes as possible because with each tear the foam becomes more likely to get caught on the Dremel bit and then it will twist and tear the foam block. Also note that the edges of the foam block are likely to get caught by the Dremel bits.
I used sanding bits to make the holes you see below. I started with the cylindrical dremel bit I pictured in the materials section. I went into the block about 0.5″ with the cylindrical drill bit (this made the cleanest looking hole opening) and then I switched to the conical bit which I used to go straight down to the bottom of the tray. Use tubes to test each hole you make to ensure they fit. A snug fitting tube is better than a loose fitting tube.
When the Dremel grabs the foam and twists some areas of the block will be torn.
Another view of the finished block.
All that is left is to attach the box to the vortexer and for that we just need rubber bands. The way the rubber bands rest on the vortexer head and on the box is important, consult the images below.
The first rubber band is hooked under the left side of the vortexer head and hooked over the right side of the box.
The second rubber band is a mirror of the first rubber band.
That is it, the attachment is finished.
Glamour shot
If you build a vortexer attachment send me a picture and let me know how it turns out.
Quick Update: The more practice I had with the foam, the better I got making a cleaner/nicer looking piece.

Saucon Valley Teachers To Meet After Three-Hour Negotiation Fails To Yield ContractNovember 7, 2014 – In The News
Jeffrey Sultanik was featured in the Lehigh Valley Live article, "Saucon Valley Teachers To Meet After Three-Hour Negotiation Fails To Yield Contract." Full text can be found in the November 7, 2014, issue, but a synopsis is below.
The Saucon Valley teachers union and Saucon Valley School Board failed to come up with a new contract after meeting for three hours Friday.
Saucon Valley School District solicitor, Jeffrey Sultanik, said that the state mediator shuttled between the two sides, with no official offers exchanged.
Sultanik explained that he believes the negotiating team "will presumably ask the members for a strike authorization and that the union is requesting a continuance of the November 24 unfair labor practice hearing that the district will oppose."

The woman who said "fuck it, I quit" on live TV to go grow pot was just evicted in Anchorage, Alaska.
KTVA reporter Charlo Greene (whose real name is Charlene Egbe) rented a building to house the Alaska Cannabis Club. She was also claiming the building as her residency despite it being commercial.
Greene/Egbe has to clear out by 5 PM Monday.
The legal reason is "failure to obtain social club insurance as required by lease."
Gotnews.com's Alaska sources are telling us that Greene/Egbe was the tenant from hell.
"The reason the eviction happened so quick is that she's mindnumbingly stupid and was openly advertising another "All you can drink/smoke" party for tonight," our source tells us. "She was basically charging admission to parties where she was serving weed and alcohol, she was claiming the building as her residence and refusing to allow the landlord, or fire inspectors, or anyone in, including the person renting the downstairs half of the building."
Green/Egbe has also been harassing her co-tenant and the landlords by filing for short and long term protective orders, all of which were thrown out.
She was also sockpuppeting under the Facebook account Jasmine Pine–a fake blonde white woman she created to say positive things about her.

Our mixed-activity holidays are designed to include the major highlights of the countries or regions we visit, involving a range of activities en route. And Costa Rica is no different. There's zip lining high above the jungle canopy, as well as cycling, canoeing and walking. And all this while exploring the country's gloriously diverse ecosystem, which accounts for 5% of the world's plant and animal species.

How can i check the status of my credit card application in BDO?
Hi All,
So, I applied for a BDO credit card last Thursday and submitted all the necessary documents to their branch, and I haven't heard anything from them yet. I know it's too early to expect for a call, but I would like to know their process. I mean how long do they process their credit card applications. Will it take a week or so for the verification of all the documents that I forwarded to them? Or how can I know if my application is rejected or accepted?
Please guide me. Looking forward to your replies. Your help is well appreciated.

Hello Darlyn!
If you've apply for a BDO credit card and still waiting to hear from BDO about the status of your application and you're tired of waiting, there is a chance that your credit card application is denied or rejected by them. If you haven't call them, maybe this is the right time to speak to the provider involved.
In the normal process of credit cards, card applications can take in between 3 to 5 working days, by the end of which successful applicants can expect to receive their cards. While people who apply for BDO credit cards can at least expect an answer regarding their application's status, the delay in finding out causes stress for many. Here's some tips, tricks some helpful information that might help shed some light on the issue.
What responses can I expect when applying for a BDO credit card?
Instant approval
With online applications, many credit card providers inform applicants on the applications' status almost immediately. Credit card requirements can vary in one bank to another, although almost every credit cards provider identifies an applicant's credit score. By providing all of the required information, you can anticipate instant approval.
Conditional approval
If you get conditional approval from BDO or to any other banks, it only means that they need to verify information you've provided before accepting your credit card application. In that scenario, you may have to supply personal information like your home address, or any other related documents; payslips, COE (certificate of employment), 2 vaild id's and such.
Credit Card Application via Referral
If your credit card application is under referral, the banks basically requires more time to carry out further assessments before giving you a conclusive answer.
Application not approved
The reason behind why banks decline credit card application is because you haven't met their requirements. Such factors could include insufficient income, poor creditworthiness, and unstable employment.
Why is my BDO credit card application taking so long?
If your credit card application from BDO is taking longer than usual to process, it could be owing to one of these factors:
– Lack of information provided
– They deal with a large number of credit card applications
– They misplaced your application form (which rarely happen)
– Worst case scenario, your application is rejected (oftentimes banks won't tell you the reason behind the decline of your application, if that's the case, you can't do anything about it)
