Starring Pulkit Samrat, Yami Gautam
Now get this. Junooniyat is directed by Vivek Agnihotri, whose last film was the political backfire Buddha In A Traffic Jam. And this film, which could be re-christened ‘Screenplay In A Traffic Jam’, stars Pulkit (Salman Khan) Samrat with Yami (Vicky Donor) Gautam who were last seen as couple three months ago in Sanam Re.
Temptation, as they say, comes in many forms.
If you still find the prospect of seeing Junooniyat tempting then go right ahead. You only have yourself to blame for what lies in store. If Mills & Boon were a Bollywood franchise Junooniyat could be the masthead for the sections devoted to morons. The lovelorn tale is one stretched-out he-loves-me-she-loves-me-not yarn-fest based on absurd coincidences that make no sense in this era of instant communication when every misunderstanding between lovers can be cleared with just one click of a phone.
So sample this.

Mumbai, April 9: Several 40-plus actors like Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan are teaming up with younger actresses on screen. That's not a problem, believes actress Hrishitaa Bhatt, who says as long as the pairing is convincing, it is "fine".
"Honestly, age is a bad thing both for men and women. It's about do you look (that much older or younger). In fact, there are many actors whose age doesn't show and even many actresses' age doesn't show. I think it is just fine," the 32-year-old said here.
"I feel that as long as the pairing looks right onscreen and is according to the script, it is fine. It should look convincing," she added.
Hrishitaa also said that such paring is acceptable.

'Asoka' (2001)
Starring Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor
When monsters become monks, it's usually the stuff of legends. But Asoka—a bloodthirsty emperor who later renounced violence—was a real person. The 2001 film 'Asoka,' about his early life, captures in mesmerizing fashion how such an unlikely conversion could take place.
Asoka was the favorite grandson of Chandragupta Maurya, the emperor of the kingdom of Magadha in the third century BC. Chandragupta beat back the armies of Alexander the Great, conquered most of the Indian subcontinent, and then adopted the Jain religion, renounced his throne, and died from fasting. The empire fell to his son Bindusara, whose heir apparent was Asoka's eldest brother Susima.
And that's where the film begins. There's no trace of the Asoka who would one day convert to Buddhism and become one of the world's first great humanitarians, a man who made nonviolence the law of his vast land.
