So the Dangal Trailer released yesterday and promptly created the sensation that you and I expected (yes the three minute trailer made me cry). For the reason that this is based on the inspiring real life stories of Indian women wrestlers, the fact that it is big boost for women's empowerment and the fact that this is yet another Aamir Khan movie slated for a Christmas release; the reactions were many, strong and exceedingly voluble:
The movie has taken so long to make. It appears to be very authentic (yes Aamir's Haryanvi accent is way more accurate than Salman's in Sultan), painstakingly made and bears the unmistakable stamp of Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist.
The Dangal trailer evoked positive reactions from other actors perhaps because of their personal equation with him or perhaps because the trailer itself has indicated that we can expect something extraordinary on 23rd December (Dangal release date).
Some people decided not to gush about Aamir and his amazing physical transformation and chose to appreciate the film's message and the performances by the other characters in the film.
…Because you known nothing compares to Bhai!
Ritu Phogat had this to say
True that!
…Come on! Someone was going to have to mention this!
The intolerance debate rages on.
Karan Johar and others who saw the film in advance were so moved and full of admiration for the film that the release of the trailer was preponed and released on 20th October over social media rather than a theater release to coincide with the Diwali releases of Shivaay and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
… Because you know… everyone gets trolled now.
