Mayur — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 22:13:46 PDT

Stallone eventually nails it in his follow up of what was touted to be a second round of the same old buffed up heroes of the yesteryear teaming up more to flex their rippling muscles and have a ball rather than tell a story. The first thing he got right is have Simon West direct

The last romantic hero… Rajesh Khanna dies

Mayur — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 03:20:24 PDT

Much like most my generation, I only discovered Rajesh Khanna when he was in the twilight of his career in the late 80′s. It is his earlier hits which were aired on the telly, in Doordarshan while I was still in my knickers that got me hooked to this face. I didnt know much about

So here it is, the 3rd and the most convincing (if that was humanely possible) trailer of the most discussed movie of the decade. As good as it’s production values are, I wonder who cuts his trailers ? How can they be these darn brain freezingly awesome? The first time I watched “Inception”‘s trailer in the
