1. ‘Jagga Jasoos’ Trailer: Ranbir & Katrina Bring a Refreshing Change
When I was told that Jagga Jasoos is a musical, I wondered how the makers will pull it off. But after watching the new trailer of the film, I don’t have any doubt about it.
The trailer of Jagga Jasoos gives you a detailed insight into the story of Jagga (Ranbir Kapoor) and Shruti (Katrina Kaif). It traces of the life of Jagga, who has an eye for detail and sings away his lines to avoid stammering.
The story is about his search for his father who goes missing (presumably dead). But Jagga, the jasoos he believes he is alive and goes in search of him with Shruti, who it appears, plays a journalist in the film.

2. Here’s Why Ajay Devgn is Responsible For Tabu Being Single
Ajay and Tabu have worked together in many films in the past and more than that they have been great friends off screen. While the actress admires Devgn’s protective attitude Tabu also blames him for her being single today.
Yes, Ajay and I have known each other for 25 years. He was my cousin Sameer Arya’s neighbour and close buddy, a part of my growing up years and that has laid the foundation of our relationship. When I was young, Sameer and Ajay would spy on me, follow me around and threaten to beat up any boys who are caught talking to me. They were the big bullies and if I am single today, it is because of Ajay. I hope he repents and regrets what he did.

Activists, a few film personalities and youth on Wednesday staged a protest in Mumbai, opposing 'community-targeted' mob lynchings.
Actors Shabana Azmi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey, Kalki Koechlin and social media activist Arpita Chatterjee were among those who participated in the protest held at Carter Road in suburban Bandra on Wednesday evening.
Braving rains, protesters marched silently, holding posters and placards bearing slogans. "Killing over food. Not in my Name," read a placard.
"Today's protest was against the savage culture of mob lynching," journalist and author Rana Ayyub said.
Speaking to PTI, Shabana Azmi said, "We are demanding a law against mob lynching. I am a proud citizen of my country. This protest that has happened across the country is not specifically in support of Junaid (victim of lynching on Mathura-Delhi train a few days ago)... It's for all forms of mob lynching, be it of police officer in Srinagar or Junaid or anyone. There is no fear of law....They (culprits) know nobody will do anything. We must recognise that citizens coming together led to justice in Nirbhaya case, so we need do this more. The government needs to take notice and create fear of and the perpetrators should be punished," she said.
