Watch the films' trailer below:
Here we list down the things that we liked about the much-awaited 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' trailer:
What we liked:
Performances
In the first half, Shahid Kapoor is shown as a happy-go-lucky, free-spirited guy and a corrupt lawyer. Whereas in the second half, his role goes through a complete transition as his best friend (role played by Divyendu Sharma) commits suicide and he decides to avenge his friend's death in the court. Shahid has already proven his versatility with films like 'Jab We Met', Kaminey', 'Haider, 'Padmaavat' among others and he looked perfect for the character of Vimal Bisht in 'Batti Gul...' trailer. Shraddha Kapoor plays Shahid's love-interest who supports him in difficult situations whereas Yami Gautam plays the opposition lawyer who is locking horns with Shahid in the court. Both, Yami & Shraddha made their presence felt in the trailer and are looking great. 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' fame Divyendu Sharma plays the victim of electricity fraud and his performance surely gets your attention in the trailer.
Music
Most of Shahid Kapoor's films like 'R...Rajkumar', 'Phata Poster Nikla Hero', 'Shaandaar' among others have great music and 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' seems to be following the trend too. The film's title song in the trailer is catchy. The other song 'Har Har Gange' is impactful too.
Chemistry between Shahid & Shraddha
Shahid Kapoor & Shraddha Kapoor shared screen-space for the first time in Vishal Bhardhwaj's 2014 film 'Haider' in which their chemistry was appreciated . They have reunited onscreen with 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' after a gap of 4 years but their on-screen chemistry is looking very fresh in the film. Shahid & Shraddha look cute together and their fans are loving the adorable moments shared by them in the film's trailer.
Batti Gul Meter Chalu NEW POSTER: Shahid Kapoor feels 'on top of the world' ahead of trailer release!
Dialogues & punchlines
"Zara facts or figures ki bhi baat karle," Yami quips in the trailer's last scene and Shahid responds, "Facts toh sab mere paas hai aur aapke hote hue, main figure ki kaise baat karun?" After watching the trailer, you'll remember this dialogue for sure. The courtroom drama in 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' is a prominent part of the film, hence we can expect more such dialogues and punchlines.
Shahid Kapoor's dance moves
Its been a long time since we saw Shahid Kapoor's electrifying dance moves on-screen. He was last seen showing off his dancing skills in his 2015 film 'Shaandaar' after which he did films like 'Udta Punjab', 'Rangoon' and 'Padmavaat' in which there was no requirement of dance. Shahid Kapoor is seen shaking legs with Shraddha in 'Batti Gul...' trailer after almost 3 years and we are super-excited!
Relevant issues of of rise in electricity bills
'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' deals with the relevant issue related to electricity & electricity bills. Somewhere in our lives, we all have struggled with electricity problems as it is a widely spread issue. The film has come at the right time and everyone will be able to relate with it.
While the trailer is gripping as well as entertaining and we are totally looking forward for the film's release, here are few things which we didn't liked in it. Check them out below:
What we disliked:
Dialogues in local language are not clear
The film is based in a small town in Uttarakhand and the cast shot for the film in Tehri, Shimla, Dehradun among other places. The actors are playing small town residents in 'Batti Gul...' and are speaking in local language. There are few dialogues in the local language which are not clear. In some scenes, the accent is strange and the makers should have worked a little more on it.
Overall, the trailer of 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' is effective as well as impressive and has already created a huge buzz. The film releases on 21st September
