After few teasers and posters Sardaar Gabbar Singh's trailer has come out finally, The project has been sought to be one of the much awaited projects of the year. Pawan Kalyan and Kajal Aggarwal in leads, prestigious Eros releasing the movie world wide.
The trailer has very little or nothing to talk about. The amateur cut is facing flak from the fans and the audience(s) already. From the first over all look of the trailer one can easily say this is how a corporate product would look like.
Here's obvious equation, Art takes time for execution, Corporates don't have time, What should be a normal birth, Sardaar Gabbar singh's trailer looks like it is squeezed out of the mother's womb.
It is said that, the whole team were pushed to their limits, including the leads and technicians, to meet the deadlines. They have successfully met the deadlines from the business perspective, the question is how much do they score on creative front.
After establishing the castle, we move to the town, where we have an aerial view of the town "Rattanpur" the roads look clean,and rolled like a t20 pitch, looks like just laid them before they took the shot, the houses on both the sides look polished and artificial. its a bird's eye view, it shows the borders(outskirts) of the town as well. Such a small town!. seems like someone wanted to check if the drone camera was working or not.
On the contrary, Akira Kurosawa's "SEVEN SAMURAI" often considered to be first ever action film went through this, and successfully emerged a winner. Irony is, Kurosawa was dealing with corporates, the studio complained about the cost of the sets exceeding the budget, An adamant Kurosawa never gave up, he wanted to make it look real because he believed the sets should influence the actors performances.
The art department should add authenticity to the sets, in this case they failed. its disheartening to see the sets left incomplete and to top it off, the "Rattanpur" town is left empty with no commotion, the mines are not established in the vicinity of the town, which would have been a crisp and accurate narration in one shot.
