Marjaavan Trailer: A Bad Version Of Sidharth And Riteish's Ek Villain With Milap Milan Zaveri's Dialogues

Sidharth Malhotra’s intense and dramatic Marjaavaan trailer is finally out and the film which is a love story packed with action, thrill and drama also stars Tara Sutaria, Rakul Preet Singh and Riteish Deshmukh. Director Milap Milan Zaveri had already dropped some major hints about Sidharth’s character in the film revealing that is was modeled around Amitabh Bachchan’s role in ‘Deewar’, Sunny Deol’s role in ‘Jeet’ and Jackie Shroff’s role in ‘Hero’. Now that the trailer is out we can see the actor lost in love and out to seek revenge.

We have already seen Sidharth and Riteish in Ek Villain play similar roles, and Milap Zaveri’s dramatic dialogues are the only things that help maintain the difference in the starkly similar-looking narratives. The trailer, however, is self-aware and even makes reference to their previous collaboration when Riteish makes an entry singing Galliyan.

Tara Sutaria is the pretty romantic interest who falls in love with Sidharth’s character and the two get married. Tara's character is mute but it might take you a while to figure that out as realism is just thrown out of the window. Now, Sidharth just like Ek Villain is a bad boy and Tara seems to be stuck in the chase between him and Riteish.

While the dialogues are overly dramatic and the whole trailer, in fact, looks like just narration of one dialogue after another with no actor looking convincing enough to pull them off.

There are significant references to Ramayan’s Ravan in the trailer to ensure that the point gets through that Riteish’s character is an avatar of the biggest mythological villain. In fact, the effort to translate every dialogue with an action or visual reference gets annoying after one point.

There is no explanation as to why Riteish is after Sidharth or what Rakul Preet is doing in her abrupt ten-second appearance.

All in all, the trailer fails at explaining why we need to see Ek Villain again with Zaveri’s dialogues with the performances failing miserably at living up to the intensity it’s trying to push.
