Story
Laal Singh Chaddha (Aamir Khan) lives on a farm with his doting mother (Mona Singh) who is everything to him. He has a physical disability that requires him to have leg braces. While society considers Laal a disabled person, his mother gives him the strength to do well in life. One day Laal removes his leg braces and starts running. Soon he joins the Indian army, makes friends in the army, and goes to war. Also, he falls in love, and his heart breaks. But Laal Singh Chaddha leads a happy life despite facing physical, mental, and emotional challenges.
Trailer
The three-minute trailer gives a glimpse of the life of Laal Singh Chaddha from a physically-challenged child to becoming a soldier. Mona Singh looks impressive as the mother of young Laal Singh. Naga Chaitanya has a limited role as a close friend and co-soldier with Aamir Khan. But Kareena Kapoor remains the most elusive character in the trailer. She is the love interest of Aamir Khan but their chemistry is missing in the trailer.
Early Response For Laal Singh Chaddha
Viewers aren’t impressed with the things Aamir Khan is doing in Laal Singh Chaddha. First of all, they find Aamir Khan giving the same popped-eyed expressions he gave in a bunch of his recent films. And they said that they are bored of his similar looks. Another thing that they dislike in the trailer is the Punjabi accent of Aamir Khan. It seems that the actor needed to work more on his accent. Some viewers also objected to the missing chemistry between Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
Laal Singh Chaddha First Look & Poster
The poster features Aamir Khan in traditional Punjabi attire including a big turban, beard, and mustaches. He has Kareen Kapoor’s head resting on his shoulder. Kareen Kapoor looks like a simple village girl with no makeup or accessories. The green farm at the bottom with a wooden cottage gives the poster a rural look.
Why Watch The Movie?
Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and other big stars could attract people to theaters. Those interested in seeing the Indian version of Forest Gump would also see Laal Singh Chaddha. Also, Aamir Khan’s fans will rush to fill the vacant seats in theaters showing Laal Singh Chaddha.
Trivia:
