War 2 Trailer: Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR Lock Horns In The Name Of "India First". Bonus
The much-awaited trailer of War 2 released on Friday (July 25). Add some philosophical musings over self, identity, war, and service to a spectacular show of Hrithik vs Jr NTR in the stunning backdrop of foreign locations, and the trailer of War 2 will show how it's different from the Yash Raj Films' formula of a spy film. Breaking Down The Trailer Unlike Yash Raj Films' other spy movies, the trailer of War 2 opens on a contemplative note, where the two nameless warriors, played by, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, introduce themselves through their starkly different ideas of a warrior. The only thread of commonality is they are fighting the war in the name of "India first." Hrithik Roshan AKA Kabir says he wants to become a shadow, dissolving his familial ties, love and identity. Jr NTR takes an oath that he will fight a battle that no one has ever fought. He will become a weapon of destruction. Either he will get destroyed or he will kill - there's no second way about it for Jr NTR. "Death before dishonour," says Hrithik Roshan. To this, Jr NTR replies, "Service before self." Kiara Advani enters the scene with some scene-stealing action stunts along with some romantic scenes with Hrithik Roshan. The stage is set. Kabir said at the end of War (2019), "The war is still on." As the battle intensifies, Colonel Sunil Luthra (played by Ashutosh Rana) reminds Kabir that they (he and Jr NTR) are warriors. But will the hero fall to save a warrior? The trailer ends with the famous saying about Karma from the Bhagavad Gita. Background The teaser of the film released in May. Sharing the teaser, Jr NTR wrote, "Double the fire. Double the fury. Pick your side. #War2Teaser out NOW. #War2 only in theatres from 14th August. Releasing in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. #YRFSpyUniverse." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yash Raj Films (@yrf) Hrihik Roshan shared an adorable post from the last day of the shoot on Instagram. An excerpt from his long note read, "Felt a mixed bag of emotions as the cameras stopped rolling for #War2. 149 days of relentless chase, action, dance, blood, sweat, injuries... and it was all WORTH IT!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hrithik Roshan (@hrithikroshan) The film will release in theatres on the eve of Independence Day, August 14. This is the first time Hrithik Roshan and JR NTR collaborated for a Hindi film. The film has been directed by Ayan Mukerji, mostly known for his romantic films.

Liked Saiyaara? Watch These 10 Intensely Romantic Films On OTT Next
New Delhi: Saiyaara, led by Ananya Panday's cousin Ahaan Panday, is making waves across theatres. The film, directed by Mohit Suri dubbed to be a master in heartbreak storytelling, also features Aneet Padda as the female lead. From the intense performances to the soul-stirring songs, Saiyaara has hit the right chord with fans. The plot, touching on themes of deep love, loss and heartbreak, adds to the emotional depth. So, if you have watched Saiyaara, felt it tug at your heartstrings and experienced a lump in your throat after leaving the theatres, then do not miss their top 10 intensely romantic movies. PS: Store lots of tissues beforehand. Aashiqui 2 - Prime Video (2013) This Mohit Suri classic will leave you in tears and bring a certain sense of peace by the end of it. The love story of Rahul (Aditya Roy Kapur) and Arohi (Shraddha Kapoor) trying to hold on to love while everything else falls apart will consume you completely. The hauntingly beautiful soundtrack adds to the drama. Rockstar - Zee5 (2011) Ranbir Kapoor breathed life into Jordan —a musician who discovers his true voice through pain. Jordan's equation with Heer (Nargis Fakhri) is messy, rebellious and sometimes heartbreakingly real. The film explores the extremities of love — how it can be both freeing and destructive. Raanjhana - Zee5 (2013) Raanjhana reminds you that love isn't perfect — it's chaotic, painful and sometimes tragically on-side. Kundan (Dhanush), a flawed, impulsive but sincere man from Varanasi, is obsessed with Zoya (Sonam Kapoor) even when she does not choose him, ultimately realising that love isn't about winning. Ae Dil Hain Mushkil - Prime Video (2016) Another depiction of one-sided love, Ae Dil Hain Mushkil, shows how unrequited love can be intensely agonising through its central characters Ayan (Ranbir Kapoor) and Alizeh (Anushka Sharma). Yes, it is also a tale of forever friendships with a little reminder that 'pyaar dosti hai' literally. Laila Majnu - Netflix (2018) Qais (Avinash Tiwary) and Laila's (Triptii Dimri) story of doomed lovers is a journey through madness, longing and an ode to a love that transcends reality. Intense performances and a soul-soaked soundtrack add to the movie's beauty. Sadma - YouTube (1983) Sadma, featuring Kamal Haasan as Somu and Sridevi as Nehalata, is an unconventional romantic drama that teaches patience, selflessness and a quietly powerful love. When Nehalata regresses to childhood after an accident, Somu becomes her gentle guardian, eventually falling in love. But it's the climax scene that you will never be able to forget. Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak - YouTube (1988) This Mansoor Khan directorial contains hard-hitting dialogues and pleasant tracks, filled with a raw intensity which makes the classic Bollywood trope interesting to watch. Raj (Aamir Khan) and Rashmi (Juhi Chawla), a passionate couple, navigate umpteen challenges to be with each other in a world that refuses to let them be. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Netflix (2004) Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey's effortless chemistry makes this film extra special. The theme centres around the idea that even if we erase the pain of love, we are meant to feel it over and over again through shared emotions, laughter and even heartbreak. Blue Valentine - Prime Video (2010) The movie is an honest portrayal of modern-day love — how it begins with butterflies and flourishes into ecstasy but sometimes falls apart despite the best intentions. Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams) are two such people who once shared an unbreakable bond but slowly they got distant, weighed down by time, unspoken wounds and disappointment. The Notebook - Google Play (2004) Based on a same-titled novel by Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster through the story of Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachael McAdams). They are madly in love one summer, fighting each other fiercely in the next, growing apart and yet finding their way back to each other. The movie also touches on the topic of Alzheimer's. So, which one are you picking?
