Here comes the bride … in spirit! Watch this hilarious trailer of Phillauri, releasing on 24th March 2017 and meet Shashi (Anushka Sharma), the friendly spirit who is here to tell her love story. It narrates the unique story of how it will take a crazy Punjabi wedding, rank strangers and more than a lifetime to complete a love story.

Set in Phillaur, Punjab, it is an out-and-out full family entertainer.

It begins with Suraj Sharma (of Life of Pi fame) being declared maanglik, and therefore he needs to marry a tree (a common practice to ward of the evil). However, a ghost stuck in the tree (Anushka Sharma) starts to haunt (we use this term loosely) him, claiming he is now married to her.

Anushka looks ethereal as the ghost, even as the VFX (which makes her float and gives her a halo effect) reminds you of Amitabh Bachchan in Bhoothnath. She’s a friendly spirit, who then follows around Suraj’s character all around his house. This creates quite some tension as he is due to get married in a couple of days.

However, the tone of the film changes completely when the real bride asks Shashi, the friendly ghost, if she has any remaining desire, because of which she is lurking around. We then go into a flashback, many centuries ago, in Punjab.

It’s a fascinating world, quite different from the colourful, contemporary setting that the trailer starts with.

In it, Shashi tells her lover (Diljit Dosanj, looking quite dashing) who is a singer, that he has the power to change the world with his voice. He vows to come back to her only after he has made a name for himself. They both look quite in love, and we are shown how much goes wrong once he leaves.

Produced by Fox Star Studios and directed by Anshai Lal, the film stars Anushka Sharma, Diljit Dosanjh, Suraj Sharma and Mehreen Pirzada. The film is produced by Fox Star Studios and Clean Slate Films.

This is Anushka Sharma’s second production after NH10. The film marks the Bollywood Debut of ‘Life of Pi’ actor, Suraj Sharma.Filled with love and giggles the trailer looks promising and a must watch!

Kareena Kapoor Khan shimmers in gold at LFW grand finale

2016 did not prove to be a great year for Bollywood but we saw some great debut performances. 

Mirzya may have fizzled out at the box office but Harshvardhan Kapoor’s performance definitely made a mark. In M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Disha Patani left a strong impact in her small yet significant role. And the year ended with Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra’s impressive performances in the wrestling drama Dangal.

We are hopeful that this year will also see some fabulous newcomers making an impact.
