Wicked: For Good trailer has fans head over heels in love with…everything; say ‘will be sobbing in the theatres'

Hindustan Times2 days ago

The original Wicked film was nothing short of a phenomenon, grossing over $750 million worldwide and setting the record as the highest-grossing movie adapted from a Broadway musical. Garnering 10 Oscar nominations — including Best Picture — and winning for Best Costume Design and Production Design, it captivated audiences everywhere. Ariana Grande truly made the role of Galinda the Good Witch her own, Cynthia Erivo delivered a career-defining performance worthy of her Oscar nods, and the music? The music alone converted even the most sceptical listeners into devoted fans.
Now, anticipation is soaring as the trailer for the sequel, Wicked for Good, drops. Picking up from the last film's cliffhanger, we see Galinda rising as the most powerful force in Oz, backed by the Wizard, while Elphaba flees, pursued by the menacing flying monkeys, demons of her own making.
As for the trailer, it doesn't try to hype itself unnecessarily, it simply looks stunning. We glimpse the evolving relationship between Galinda and Elphaba, now fair rivals instead of friends, and beloved characters like Fiyero Tigelaar return, played by Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey. Andthe music? Absolutely killer. This level of good should almost be illegal.
The excitement online is palpable, with netizens echoing the trailer's brilliance. One Reddit user wrote, 'No surprises here, but the duo sounds like they nailed For Good. Can't wait to see how unhinged this press tour gets.' Another shared, 'Just the small snippets of For Good have me in tears. I will be sobbing in the theatre.' Fans also praised the incredible costumes, with one enthusing, 'Paul Tazewell cooked hard in the costume department here and goodness, they look beautiful!' And for those initially sceptical, opinions have shifted dramatically. 'When they first announced they were doing this movie, I had absolutely no interest. After having seen the first part, I can't wait to see this,' one commenter admitted. Another added, 'This trailer is insanely well-done. It looks even better than the first.'
Fans are also buzzing over the return of iconic Wizard of Oz characters. 'It will be interesting to see how much they include Dorothy and crew. Seeing the Cowardly Lion as a CGI lion, and not a man in an obvious costume, is interesting. Everyone else in the group looks spot on. I have so much respect for Judy Garland's performance, and I still feel for all the shit she endured while making The Wizard of Oz as well as in her personal life. I hope this new instalment brings a renewed love and appreciation for Garland,' commented one passionate fan. Others are especially eager for the music, which promises to deliver even more emotional highs. 'This trailer is miles better than the first movie's trailers, and the film visually looks much better. Excited for this even if the second half is worse story-wise, the music is better to me,' shared another.
If the trailer is anything to go by, Wicked: For Good is shaping up to be a magical follow-up, and fans are in for a truly spectacular journey back to Oz. Catch the film in theatres on November 21.

Ananya Panday Calls Herself A ‘3/10 Actor' In Viral Video; Reddit Trolls Her Brutally

Last Updated: Ananya Panday called herself a 3/10 actor in a resurfaced video, sparking viral trolling and heated PR debates on Reddit and social media. A throwback video of Ananya Panday rating herself as an actor has resurfaced on Reddit and is going viral for all the wrong reasons. The clip, from a rapid-fire segment on Pinkvilla, features Ananya playfully struggling to rate her own acting skills. Initially hesitant, she says, 'I can't do this… Like a 3… How can I rate myself as an actor?" Her Call Me Bae co-stars Niharika Dutt and Muskkaan Jaferi try to lift her spirits, nudging her to rate herself higher. Eventually, Ananya settles on a 7 out of 10. While her response seemed candid and humorous, the internet didn't take it lightly. Redditors quickly latched onto the video, calling out what they described as another PR move. One user wrote, 'The thing is, it's actually working. People do sympathise with her. All the Insta girlies unite to defend her in any reel criticising her. Unfortunately." Another added, 'Nepotism or no nepotism—if you are focused on winning PR games instead of working on your craft, people won't watch you." A third user sarcastically chimed in, 'Even my 2-month-old can see through these PR tricks. At least be clever about it." The viral backlash has reignited debates around nepotism and image-building in Bollywood, with many questioning whether such self-deprecating moments are genuine or calculated. On the work front, Ananya Panday is gearing up for her next big release, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Kartik Aaryan. The romantic comedy is already making waves, especially after the makers revealed the release date—February 13, 2026—along with a romantic poster showing the duo kissing behind an Indian passport. The film, directed by Satyaprem Ki Katha's Sameer Vidwans, is being jointly produced by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures. It also marks Kartik Aaryan's return to Karan Johar's production house following their much-publicised fallout during Dostana 2. Fans are excited to see Kartik and Ananya reunite after their successful pairing in Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), making this one of the most awaited rom-coms on the horizon.
