In the world where movies are struggling for better social media promotion and getting into trending lists, two movies, Dilwale and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo are being promoted in new ways: Half faces and Dubsmashing.
The cast of Dilwale were all saying that their director Rohit Shetty is not allowing them to release the first look of the movie and so to outsmart him, they were tweeting their half look.

On the other end, Dubsmash videos of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo have been quite popular on social media. From sweet Munni of Bajrangi Bhaijaan to Waheeda Rehman and Helen, all have been dancing on the tunes of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo through Dubsmash.
