Here are five intriguing points that we couldn’t miss in the two-minute trailer.
Salman Khan as Tubelight
If he has played a quintessential good boy on screen, he has essayed the role of a man with a golden heart too. In a career spanning over three decades, Bollywood has helped him live up to his ‘good boy’ image on screen. And Kabir Khan’s Tubelight promises to take that image forward but with a twist. Salman plays Laxman, the village simpleton, who fights against all odds to rescue his brother (Sohail Khan) after he gets captured beyond Chinese borders during the 1962 Sino-Indian war.
Salman-Sohail’s bromance
It’s been seven years since we saw Salman and Sohail share screen space. Unlike their last outing Veer, Tubelight is nothing loud and garish. Instead Kabir’s film shows an affable bond between these two brothers. If Salman makes you fall in love with his funny antics, Sohail’s role as a responsible brother will surely melt your heart.
Shah Rukh Khan’s blink-and-miss appearance
We finally get to see the first glimpse of Shah Rukh Khan in Tubelight trailer. It is a known fact that SRK essays the role of a magician in Kabir’s directorial venture, and if reports are to be believed, Salman’s encounter with SRK in the film is one of the turning points in Tubelight.
Sino-Indian war
The trailer begins with Chinese army marching towards the Indian border, and sets the tone of the film. Set against the background of 1962 Indo-China war, Tubelight tells the story of two brothers who are separated by the war, when one of them joins the Indian Army to fight the Chinese and gets captured by their army.
Yakeen or faith
Apart from Laxman and Bharat, Kabir’s third and most important character in Tubelight is yakeen. Taking inspiration from 2015 English-language film Little Boy, Tubelight’s theme revolves around yakeen or faith. And this very faith makes a simpleton like Laxman cross borders to rescue his brother from Chinese army
