The trailer of Bollywood's biggest film is here! Thugs of Hindostan, perhaps the costliest Hindi film of the year, is about to arrive to make your Diwali bright and colourful. The Man with the Midas Touch, Aamir Khan, is playing the lead here, which itself guarantees the movie a Rs 200 crore business starter. Joining him for the first time is Amitabh Bachchan, playing a pirate-lord in the movie. Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh play the leads here in the film that is directed by Dhoom 3 fame Vijay Krishna Acharya. The trailer has been launched on the birth anniversary of late Yash Chopra, the founder of Yash Raj Films. Thugs of Hindostan: Before Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif's Film, Did You Know Bollywood Had Already Made Two Movies on Pirates?

As expected from a big budget movie starring Mr Perfectionist, a lot of frames in the trailer scream EPIC! Thugs of Hindostan trailer manages to recreate the period setting successfully, but it is how they have recreated the old ships and the sea-warfare that gets the brownie points. Amitabh Bachchan's towering screen-presence makes an advantage for Khudabaksh, while Fatima Sana Shaikh shines as the warrior girl. Katrina Kaif oozes oomph, but ultimately, the show is stolen by Aamir Khan's jovial Firangi. Oh, did I mention the background score is kickass? Thugs of Hindostan: Forget Jack Sparrow Inspiration, This Feature in Aamir Khan's Look Is Making Us Worried For His Firangi - Here's Why.

Thugs of Hindostan, produced by Yash Raj Films, also stars Lloyd Owen and Ronit Roy. It is reportedly based on a book, Philip Meadows Taylor's 1839 novel Confessions of a Thug, though we can't help but notice similarities with Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Carribean series. The movie is aiming to release on November 7. It will also release in IMAX format.
