Veerappan - Trailer Review

Trailer Appeal - 4/5

RGV is back with a bang and this time with dreaded dacoit Veerappan slated to release on 27th May. Film is based on Operation Cocoon, which was to get Veerappan Dead or Alive. This was a mission headed by the Commander of the Tamil Nadu Special Task Force, Vijay Kumar, who masterminded the final assault on Veerappan. Vijay appoints Kannan, who is a non-conformist, one who would willingly flout rules as long as Veerappan is captured. Priya is by hired by Kannan to befriend Muthulakshmi, so that the STF can get closer to her husband Veerappan.

2 things that you instantly admire in the trailer are: 
- Sandeep Bhardwaj as merciless, fearless, tyrant Veerappan. He is a fantastic find by RGV and he brings alive Veerappan on screen. Sandeep is from NSD and with such stupendous acting he has a bringht career ahead in Bollywood. 
- Mesmerizing cinematography by Aniket Khandagale with superb VFX 

Sachiin J Joshi(Kannan), Usha Jadhav(Muthulakshmi) & Lisa Ray(Priya) are the other actors in the film. However, I strongly believe that this film would be known only for Sandeep Bhardwaj. Overall trailer is very gripping. Let's hope RGV is able to bounce back to his natural charm which has been missing for quite some time.

Udta Punjab - Trailer Review



Trailer Appeal - 2/5

Udta Punjab is based on the theme of drugs in Punjab, where a large proportion of youth is drug addict. Again a fantastic theme, which hasn't been explored. But trailer doesn't give a feel for the film. I just hope they don't trivialize the issue and just focus on action masala sequences. It would be a disgrace such grave subject.

Shahid Kapoor as druggie rockstar Tommy Singh is very impressive. Alia Bhatt in a non glamorous avatar as a laborer from Bihar looks very different but not believable. It is good that she is trying different roles but definitely needs to put in more effort. Diljit Dosanjh  was also largely unimpressive. He is a well known name in Punjabi films. Time will tell if that translates to fan following in Bollywood as well. Kareena Kapoor brings in some energy in trailer that could be one of the saving grace for the film.

Director Abhishek Chaubey is no newcomer to Bollywood and has been associated with many critically acclaimed films namely Ishqiya, Kaminey, Omkara, Maqbool. Film is slated to be released on 17th June 2016.

Lets wait and watch but for the time being, I am giving it a thumbs down.
