TRAILER: LUCY
Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) becomes an unwilling drug mule for a powerful mafia outfit, but the drug she’s carrying seeps into her system, making her a superhuman with astounding intelligence and strength and the power to move objects at will. The action-packed trailer is all Scarlett, but gives a Limitless — yes, the Bradley Cooper film on the same theme — deja vu. The trailer has been watched and rewatched 815,823 times.

KOFFEE WITH THE KAPOORS
Anil Kapoor and daughter Sonam were the guests on the Koffee with Karan couch last Sunday. Papa Kapoor was unusually reticent, but if the idea was to keep a watchful eye on Sonam’s blabbering tongue, it really didn’t help. Sonam the straight talker ripped apart most of her contemporaries — “Deepika has no style sense of her own” to “Parineeti shouldn’t wear such tight clothes”. The otherwise ho-hum episode has its share of fans on YouTube, with 468,193 views.
