Jagga Jasoos



Anurag Basu’s much delayed film – Jagga Jasoos – starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif – is one of its kinds in Bollywood. The trailer of the film which was unveiled a few months ago has caught the imagination of moviegoers. It’s a fantasy thriller with a very Hollywood-like feel.

Jab Harry Met Sejal



There were too many speculations about the title of the film. It was earlier believed that the film was titled ‘The Ring’ and later it was being said that it is ‘Rehnuma’. Nonetheless, now that the makers have announced the title of the film, we know the name of the characters. And from the first look poster it is clear that it’s a light hearted romantic film. If reports are anything to go by, SRK will be seen essaying the character of a tourist guide. Moreover, the super-hit jodi of SRK and Anushka will be back. The duo has already delivered blockbusters like ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ in the past. ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ is Imtiaz Ali’s labour of love and is slated to release on August 4.


Toilet: Ek Prem Katha



Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pet project – Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan – Akshay Kumar’s ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ highlights the importance of sanitation and hygiene. Based on an unusual subject, the film revolves around the life of a newly married couple, whose marriage runs into trouble because of the lack of a toilet in their house. The trailer of the film has proved to be mighty impressive and it would be interesting to see the kind of impact it will make at the Box Office.
