Thoughts on the Trailer
Firstly, the trailer is two minutes and twenty-four seconds long and beautifully encapsulates the essence of the movie. There are moments of funny auditions as Nasir embarks on a journey to fulfill his dream of making a movie for the people of Malegaon, made in Malegaon. It only gives a glimpse of the lighthearted humor in the film, but there are also tons of emotions as we see them handle life’s challenges. It showcases friendship, passion, creativity, and the power and determination to dream big.
However, all of this has been shown in the trailer; the viewers will be left wanting more as the trailer ends, which is what every filmmaker intends to do with their trailers. The background, the colors, and everything have vibrancy in it despite their mellowness. It is more than a comedy-drama, and the audience is in for a rollercoaster of emotions with this one.
