Only a few fleeting days have slipped away since the unveiling of the highly-anticipated film ‘Bheed’ and its trailer to the digital world. The captivating teaser, featuring the formidable acting trio of Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, and Bhumi Pednekar in pivotal roles, raked millions of views on YouTube with its thought-provoking display. However, this was short-lived, as the trailer vanished without a trace, with the link now set to private. It’s said that this sudden disappearance was in response to the criticism it received for its stark portrayal of the lockdown.
Anubhav Sinha’s latest film is a raw and poignant exploration of the COVID-19 lockdown that scarred India. While many hailed the trailer for its realism, some critics dismissed it as “anti-establishment” and “anti-national.” The movie uncovers the poor management of the lockdown and the struggles of migrant labourers who trudged for miles to return home. Social media erupted with comparisons to the traumatic partition of 1947, labelling it as a sensational yet important movie.
Reports suggest the trailer of having a “hidden agenda.” Many fans were left puzzled when they discovered that the teaser was missing on Thursday, with some speculating that the trailer’s gloomy depiction of the lockdown might have caused its removal. Despite the overwhelmingly positive response from audiences, the trailer’s removal from YouTube has made fans question on what’s exactly happening.
Check out how fans react to it:
The makers have kept silent on the criticisms surrounding the trailer and whether they will address them before the film’s release, only time will tell.
Alongside a powerhouse cast featuring the likes of Bhumt Pednekar, Pankaj Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Aditya Srivastava, Ashutosh Rana, and Kritika Kamra, it might just make you experience the moving tale of ‘Bheed’ that will leave a lasting impression.
