Check out the trailer, very simple, very classic and very smart marketing in my opinion (as a former distributor with Sony and Fox I have alligned many brands to some of the 200hundreds movies I released!
My interrogation: how much did Pramount pay for this campaign? Perhaps they traded some free cars in the next Paramount release?
Anyway lets have some fun watching this trailer!

Dhai Aakhar: Merely two-and-a-half letters of an alphabet arouse great expectations
Dhai means two-and-a-half, and Aakhar means akshar or the letters of the Hindi alphabet. The title is taken from a doha (simple, moralising poetry written in couplet form) by an Indian saint, Kabeer, centuries ago. The line goes ‘Dhai aakhar prem ka/key padhey so Pandit hoye’ (whoever reads the two-and-a half letters of the Devnagari alphabet, that add-up to mean love, will be a true seer). Co-prod...
Vijay 69, Review: VATs 69 in a name?
A story that looks very elevating and moralising on paper does not necessarily translate into an engaging film. Vijay 69 is one such film. It seems to have been made to showcase that Anupam Kher, who played an old man’s role in Mahesh Bhatt’s Saaransh (1984), when he was 29, can play such a role, as a 69 year-old at 69. That is a no-brainer. Forty years on, he has done 540 films and started an acting school, besides trying his hand at directio...

Navras Katha Collage, Review: It might get a few ‘awards’, for….
Comedian Jerry Lewis, in the top league during the 50s and 60s, made a breakthrough movie in 1965, called The Family Jewels. Breakthrough, because he played seven roles in the film, all brothers, besides co-writing and directing it. I have been unlucky not to have seen this reportedly hilarious experiment, but I came close when I saw an Indian, Hindustani film, Naya Din, Nayi Raat (NDNR). Nine years after The ...

They are as fake as the royal family they are summoned to, to perform the task of busting the ghost of a princess, who was imprisoned in a large room, with heavy padlocks, 200 years ago. ...
