The first teaser of ‘Deadpool 2’ just dropped and honestly, we have just one question, “did we just get punk’d?!” Ryan Reynolds comes up on the screen and sure, we do recognise it’s him but it’s more like a personal tribute to Bob Ross.

So, we patiently wait for something remotely ‘Deadpool’ to come up on the screen but no, he continues with this painting. And bang in the middle of the teaser, when you have kinda given up hope and you are thinking of switching tabs, BOOM! There is actual footage from the upcoming movie. Not much is known about the plot of the sequel but nonetheless, you want to shift to a mental preparatory mode of excitement.

The official synopsis of  ‘Wet On Wet’ is this : After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover. Okay, it still makes no sense!

 During the ‘blink –and-you-miss-it’ moments of the actual footage from the movie, one can spot Morena Baccarin, T. J. Miller, Leslie Uggams, and Brianna Hildebrand back as Vanessa, Weasel, Blind Al, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Also, Wade reunites with Vanessa .

Not much can be figured out besides tiny hints thrown all over like confetti. Jack Kesy of ‘The Strain’ is reported to play the new villain.  After watching this entire teaser /trailer or whatever one might call it, we  have a lot of question on our minds, the main one being  about what is Deadpool smoking? And where can we get our hands on it?! The sequel is still untitled and will unveil itself on June 1, 2018. Until then folks, in the words of Deadpool as Bob Ross, “Keep your pants dry, your dreams wet, and remember, hugs not drugs.”

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is back and I don’t even need to say that it’s with a bang. He is known to cause quite a ruckus with every performance and he’s one of those actors who can save any movie with a power packed portrayal of the character he is currently skin deep in.

The Teaser Of Monsoon Shoutout Is Finally Out© Twitter

The teaser of his upcoming film ‘Monsoon Shoutout’ is finally out and Nawaz’s character has all shades of grey that you would expect an actor of his reputation to convey. It looks absolutely insane and we can’t wait to check it out when it does finally come out!

Watching the video, the first sense of ‘déjà vu’ comes from his performance in ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’. ‘Monsoon Shoutout’ is a noir thriller which is directed by Amit Kumar. The movie also stars Tannishhtha Chatterjee as the female lead. The movie even premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and received a very positive reception from everyone there. Nawaz plays a brutal, cold blooded murderer in the movie and we can’t wait to see what he has to offer.

The movie has been in the pipeline for a very long time but did not see the light of the day. “For almost a year we were travelling across festivals with the film and then we wanted to wait and release the film when we felt the time was right. We had a successful release of ‘Haraamkhor’ earlier this year, and 2017 has proven to be a year when good content films were being accepted. So we feel now is the best time to release the film.” Well, better late than never, we say.

It’s not everyday that you play a badass character on a TV show that inflates to infinity with its fan base and then you are suddenly killed off in one episode, and instead of losing your fame, you become a household name. We are talking about Khal Drogo, the man who made Dothraki a sexy language we wish we could speak and understand.

His recent revelation on TV about his long time affair and the woman in his life has actually come out as a shocker to many, while others found a way to glorify his stalking skills. He revealed that he was obsessed with his now wife ever since he was eight years old and saw her on the TV.

“Ever since I was like, eight years old and I saw her on the TV, I was like, ‘Mommy, I want that one’. “I’m like, ‘I’m going to stalk you for the rest of my life and I’m going to get you.’ I’m a full-fledged stalker. I didn’t tell her that until we had two babies, otherwise, I’d be creepy and weird. But yeah, [I’d] just always wanted to meet her. She was a queen, always”, he said.

The couple has two kids together; a 10-year-old daughter named Lola Iolani and an 8-year-old son named Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha. Jason is also the stepfather to Lisa’s daughter from her previous marriage.

So turns out that he is a legit stalker, maybe even like Dhanush from ‘Raanjhana’, but the only difference is that eventually he pursued and married her and even has kids with her, so clearly the borderline-criminal behaviour worked out!

They have not yet put a ring on it or even set a date for it, but fans across the globe cannot get enough of this amazingly gorgeous couple, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. It’s the perfect marriage of the glamour world with the glossy world of Cricket.

Ever since they went public, they’ve only had great things to say about each other. A tone of mutual respect, modest versions of showing love and expressing their affection towards each other in words plucked with great care is actually kind of their forte. Social media is proof of that.

Everyday is a valentine day if you want it to be. You make everyday seem like one for me ��. @anushkasharma

Kriti is moving from Bareilly to Patiala to deliver another small town surprise and this time she is holding a pen.” In the meantime, Diljit is already preparing for his role as the great hockey player, Sandeep Singh. So you have three projects to look forward to and knowing Diljit, there will definitely be a new song coming soon.

A movie has several components that make it a great watch. Sometimes it’s the aesthetics, or the reel life chemistry, while other times it’s a great storyline. However, if there is one constant ingredient that makes for a good watch, then it is a character who leaves you with mixed feelings. You want to hate them but end up rooting for them or vice versa. We all know how important it is for the baddie of a film to show their evil side, as only then can the hero truly shine.

Keeping that in mind, we list out 7 times when super-sexy female villains both stole screen space and hearts:

1. Bipasha Basu in ‘Jism’

She did this movie at a time when actresses didn’t even think of shedding inhibitions on screen. It was classy, and lusty obviously, but Bips owned the negative role and how! Not to forget the lip-smacking chemistry with her then beau, John Abraham.

2. Priyanka Chopra in ‘Aitraaz’

Boss lady, here to ruin lives, knows what she wants and uses power as a sex tool. PC baffled the audience with this role and played it with such finesse that it was like her second skin.

3. Urmila Matondkar in ‘Pyaar Tuney Kya Kiya’

She was sexy, sultry, and passionate and her portrayal of a mad, obsessed lover was insanely awesome. Hands down one of her most powerful and hottest performances.

4. Sharon Stone in ‘Basic Instinct’

The gorgeous blonde played the sexy Catherine Trammel who is a stone-cold serial killer. The phrase ‘if looks could kill’ was truly personified by her.

5. Elizabeth Hurley in ‘Bedazzled’

Who knew Satan could transform into a bedazzling, sultry siren like Liz Hurley in this movie! She is the epitome of carnal sin herself who is aiming to capture the soul of Elliot Richards.

6. Margot Robbie in ‘Suicide Squad’

Harley Quinn made psychotic looked hot for many and the super anti-hero was essayed by the siren herself, Margot Robbie. Her intense relationship with The Joker left real-life couples envious!

7. Uma Thurman in ‘Batman And Robin’

Poison Ivy is one of the most memorable roles essayed by Thurman and also one of her hottest. A villain with an irresistible charm spreading doom? Yes please!

You know what comes with a successful TV show? A plethora of theories that try to mesh different worlds and make a wonderful tale from it. ‘Stranger Things 2’ is no different. It’s been less than a week that it made its debut and theories have begun swirling all around.

This one theory suggests that there might be a relation between this sci-fi show and Stephen King’s ‘It’. Obviously, SPOILERS lie ahead.

If you have already passed watching the first two episodes from the second season, then you already know who Bob is (Winona Ryder’s onscreen love interest). So in the first episode, he mentions how he hates horror movies. Later, in episode 2 titled ‘Trick or Treat’, he mentions how his family lives in Maine and he explains Will how as a kid, he was terrorised by a clown but thought it was a recurring nightmare.

So the theory suggests that Bob is actually one of the surviving kids from the terror of Pennywise in ‘It’. The fact that Pennywise sprung in the city of Maine where Bob hails from, is actually making the whole theory more concrete. The Duffer Brothers, who are the brains behind ‘Stranger Things’, are actually pretty much fascinated and heavily inspired by Stephen King so it is not very surprising actually.

The season of ‘Stranger Things 2’ has received a huge thumbs up from fans and is pretty intense as well. The show stars Millie Brown as the fierce Eleven, Winona Ryder as Will’s (Noah Schnapp) mother, and David Harbour as Jim Hopper. ‘Stranger Things’ is based in the town of Hawkins, during the 1980’s. There is a real world and then there is the ‘upside down’. The science fiction drama series is probably one of the highest ranked shows and also clearly one of the most famous Netflix originals out there.

If you love both the TV show and the movie in equal parts and Stephen King is your kind of writer, then bask in this new found theory.

The purpose of a movie is not merely to entertain its audience. Sure, everyone loves a good adrenaline rush with a great action flick, we all like jiving to Bollywood masala movies, thrillers make for a great watch, but do you realise that movies are also a powerful tool to throw light on something is crying for attention? ‘Kadvi Hawa’ is one such movie that needs your dire attention.

Starring Sanjay Mishra and Ranvir Shorey in lead roles, the movie talks about the bitter truth of climate change that is more than just being a ‘first world problem’. It’s the consequence of man’s insatiable needs and desires for which our environment has been bearing the cost.

The movie follows the tale of the villagers of Bundelkhand who are struggling with trivial environmental hazards including the absence of drinking water. While one side has no water, the other side is facing rising water level of the sea. The kids in the village think of monsoon as something that happened ‘once upon a time’. The trailer is downright alarming!

Directed by Nil Madhab Panda, this brilliantly made movie even got a special mention at the 64th National Awards. As the name of the movie suggests, ‘Kadvi Hawa’ is a bitter reflection of the reality and fate that awaits us. Climate change is a serious situation that is questioning the deafening silence of the people who still live in ignorance. Mishra’s monologue is a powerful speech that will make you open your eyes and your mind and actually think.
