Leading ladies of Bollywood - How they look at award nights  Priyanka Chopra sports an amber gown with fitted bustier and attached flouncy drape below. No leg show gal? Actress Deepika Padukone who rocked with filmi hits in 2014 seems to not quite get it right. Come on! Jacqueline Fernandes packs a 'kick' with her flouncy gown.

Plot unfurls: The movie picks up pace right from the first few shots and gets you wondering where the two lovable convicts...
