“This summer, the makers of Pyaar Ke Side Effects, re-introduces, Love, The wicked style, 99 slaps, 1 kiss”
Well, so goes the napshot promotional teaser of Ugly Aur Pagli, starring Pyaar Ke Side Effects gal Mallika Sherawat and the guy who has got ‘cranky’ as his middle name, Ranvir Shorey.And from the looks of it, the makers of PKSE are back with another treat of a show.

Ranvir Shorey’s character has been shown as a desperate one, often at the recieving end of Mallika’s fury. The ‘wicked’ style love has been shown quite well with devil horns and a devil tail which are seen in the teaser.
The packaging is slick, not intended to bore you any moment. Mallika looks hot as usual, but this time she looks a lot more stylish than ever before, while Ranvir is Read more
YRF’s poor show doesn’t matter to Kunal Kohli
Tadka spice - With movies from Yash Raj Films’ stable turning to no shows at the Box Office, Kunal Kohli’s Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic will be under intense pressure to perform.
Out of five releases in 2007, Yash Raj Films had just one massive hit in Shimit Amin’s Chak De! India, and four flops, namely Ta Ra Rum Pum, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, and Aaja Nachle. And with this year’s Tashan going down the drain, the clouds of ill luck seem to be hovering above Yash Raj Films. But all this doesn’t seem to bother the director of the next YRF movie, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic’s director Kunal Kohli.
The movie Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic is the story of a rich man played by Saif Ali Khan, who due to some circumstances is handed over the responsibility of taking care of four orphaned kids.
