Dilwale’s trailer is a riot!

Dilwale is amongst the most anticipated movies of the year, and there are a lot of reasons for that. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, both stars in their own right, are coming back together after a gap of 5 years. Varun Dhawan, who is slowly paving his way to be the heartthrob of the nation, would be seen in a fresh pairing with Heropanti starrer Kriti Sanon, Rohit Shetty is directing a romantic film after the huge success of Chennai Express, and the film is shot in the most exotic locations of the world.

This all, and much more, was making all Bollywood cinephiles wait for the official trailer of the movie, which was finally released yesterday.

In his trademark style, a visibly younger Shah Rukh Khan poses with his arms wide open, and is seen running on water along with Kajol. The scene moves 15 years ahead, and a bearded SRK, most probably a gangster, is ready to turn into a commoner for his younger brother Veer (Varun Dhawan) and his love interest Ishita (Kriti Sanon).

In the flashback scenes, veterans Kabir Bedi and Vinod Khanna are seen pointing guns at each other.

We also see Kajol playing Mira, the love interest of Khan, recounting how 15 years have passed since something significant happened between them, and how it changed their lives forever. This significant something is what makes the crux of the movie. What we think is that Bedi and Khanna would play respective fathers/relatives of either of the two main leads, and a war between them would separate the lovers for 15 years, only to be reunited because of their younger siblings, played by Dhawan and Sanon.

Coming to the trailer, we see a lot of mean machines being driven on dangerous roads and defying gravity, in a true-blue Rohit Shetty style.

The climax of the movie, shot just a few days back, also makes its way into the trailer, and glimpses of Boman Irani, Sanjai Misra, Mukesh Tiwari, Pankaj Tripathi and Johnny Lever are seen.

The movie looks like it would be a mix of two different worlds, one that belongs to Shah Rukh Khan in which love and family play a crucial role, and the other one that belongs to Rohit Shetty, in which we can’t help but see cars, dangerous action scenes, guns and gangsters.

The trailer looks good when it comes to the cinematography; however, Varun’s expressions fail to establish any connect with the audience. Kriti Sanon looks okay so far, and SRK-Kajol are so experienced in their skill that their performance looks effortless.

Here is the trailer.


The movie releases on 18^th December, along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani, which stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.
