And as we await the release of ‘Rangoon’ in the next five weeks, here’s taking a look at some of the reasons to WATCH the multi-starrer big budget flick.
Stellar star-cast
Shahid Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Kangana Ranaut make a lethal combination. The trio has teamed up for a film for the first time. Interestingly, none of them has worked with any of the other earlier.
All the three have impressive films to their credit and are bound to leave an indelible impact as a unit with their collective performances this time. Shahid has proved his worth with films like ‘Kaminey’, ‘Haider’ aand ‘Udta Punjab’, while Saif has wowed us with a variety of flicks – ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Hum Tum’ and ‘Omkara’. And coming to Kangana, the curly-haired beauty from Himachal has already three National Awards in her kitty!
Vishal Bhardwaj
Director-music composer Vishal Bhardwaj is a class apart. The ace filmmaker has an impressive bunch of films that have redefined the art of creating cinema in India. Be it ‘Makdee’, ‘Maqbool’, ‘The Blue Umbrella’, ‘Omkara’, ‘Kaminey’ or ‘Haider’, Vishal has impressed the audiences and critics alike.
Vishal –Shahid and Vishal –Saif combination
Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s film careers got a new lease of with Bharadwaj’s ‘Kaminey’ and ‘Omkara’ respectively. Both the actors are immensely talented and all they needed was a brilliant film to push their stardom up a notch. ‘Kaminey’ and ‘Omkara’ did the trick for Shahid and Saif and helped them redefine their space in Bollywood. It would be interesting to see how Vishal presents them together in this film.
Kangana Ranaut
After ‘Queen’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu’, this will be Kangana’s first release. Moreover, this is her first film with Saif and Shahid. Going by Kangana’s choice of films in the recent past, she has often played the central character in the film and has had a stronger role to play than the hero! Now that she has two equally talented men sharing screen space with her, it would be interesting to see what she has in store for us!
Gripping storyline
The posters of the film have dropped ample hints about the storyline. It is all about LOVE, WAR and DECEIT. Going by the trailer, it looks like a love triangle set in the backdrop of a World War II with India’s struggle of Independence from British rule visibly in the forefront. All the three protagonists have distinct roles to play in the film. From the surface it looks like a love story but Vishal pull a surprise? That’s something we need to see.
