Last week of July? Is that a joke? Are they serious?

I simply can't wait that long.

Plus, how do they expect the music to catch on if they release it two weeks before the film hits theatres?

I found this very strange too. Why so late?

This is what I got from Yashraj when I enquired about the film

AUDIO RELEASE: JULY 05 ON YASH RAJ MUSIC
FILM RELEASE: 12TH AUGUST BY YASH RAJ FILMS



Was this the teaser they played with Veer Zaara

12th August! Dil Chatha Hai was also released on 12th August ... hope that this is a good sign that The Rising will become another modern classic like DCH.

That Promo scene with AAmir climbing stairs in chains is VERY POWERFUL!

Apna DU has it:

Ugh, I had forgotten that Amisha Patel is in this. How disturbing.

And even though I think Rani Mukherji's a fine actor, I can't bear the thought of watching her for the fourth time this year. Can you say overexposure?

Did you count how many times Shree Big B jalwa afroz huey iss saal maan, or Shree Devgund? or Shree SRK???? they sell!!No pitty! We have to bear with them!

What is the BUZZ DU???

....new promo captures taken from Talkbollywood forum

Did the bootleggers already get a copy of the film ??

Judging from the screenshots it does look 'good' - now if only they can hurry up and release the soundtrack sooner
