SRK’s Jawan Trailer: Old Wine In New Bottle!

After Pathaan, ‘ King Khan’ Shah Rukh Khan is back with Jawan. The film’s trailer has been dropped and it is an action-packed loaded with stunts. The trailer starts with the hijack of a metro train in Mumbai. SRK is introduced as a bald person in a bold character who hijacked the train. Guess what his demand is? He demands ‘Alia Bhatt’, albeit for fun. This lightens up the heavy-duty trailer which is a roller coaster ride. SRK is seen in dual roles as Vikram Rathore and Azaad.

Vijay Sethupathi plays Kalee, the fourth-largest weapons supplier in the country. Kalee gets terribly upset as his business poses a challenge. SRK is paired up with Nayanthara. Interestingly, Deepika Padukone is seen in a guest appearance. Director Atlee manages to strike a fine balance between action and emotion. The under-current point is patriotism where a Jawan Vikram (soldier) fights against arms supplier Kalee to protect the country. There are several layers and twists attached to this plot. Atlee’s mark is visible. The film’s scale is huge. The South flavour is felt in this Pan India film, thanks to the casting. The film also has Priyamani, Yogi Babu and others.

SRK pulled off quite well in the roles with multiple shades. Anirudh’s background score is alright. However, it is SRK’s one-man show. On the whole, Jawan looks like old wine fashioned in a new bottle. It is just old stuff presented and packaged in a new way. Let’s see how the film fares at the cinemas.
