The most keenly anticipated film this year is definitely Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’. And it’s teaser is the one SRK’s fans have been waiting for like forever. This morning, the King Of Bollywood made their wishes come true when he unveiled the first full-fledged teaser for Jawan on social media. Interestingly, the first look at Jawan is labelled ‘prevue’ for some reason, and not the conventional preview.
The ‘Jawan’ teaser might not have been everything that Shah Rukh Khan fans had been waiting for. For one, it has some of the corniest dialogues of recent times. The background music is scintillating, but gives typical South Indian movie vibes. Even the over the top action is so stereotypically South Indian movie style. The only thing that might please SRK fans is that star Shah Rukh Khan looks amazing in the teaser – charisma, style, swag intact. Incidentally, Shah Rukh Khan features in a dual role in Jawan.
And oh yes, for the first time ever in his 30-year long career, we get to see Shah Rukh Khan in a — hold your breath — bald avatar! The bald Shah Rukh Khan seems to be one part of the double roles he plays in Jawan. Bald Shah Rukh Khan is hotter than ever, as he jiggles on the train, to an old, black and number Hindi film number. We also get glimpses of primary antagonist Vijay Sethupathi, female lead Nayanthara, and Deepika Padukone in a special appearance.
The Jawan teaser doesn’t give out too much of the plot of the movie which is a good thing. Shah Rukh Khan has a dual role in the film, but their relationship is not revealed in the teaser, nor do we realise which is which. Writer – director Atlee seems to have written an intriguing story, with one of Shah Rukh Khan’s characters creating an all-girls team of skilled combatants. Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Riddhi Dogra, Astha Agarwal, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Girija Oak can be seen in the teaser as part of this girl gang.
On the whole, the Jawan teaser is good, but not excellent by any means. Let’s hope the trailer is very better.
Jawan releases in theatres on 7th September, 2023. Have a look at the teaser of the film –
