WAR Teaser: From Dhoom 3 to Batman V Superman, 6 Movies Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff’s Action Thriller Reminded Us Of!
In a very surprising move, Yash Raj Films dropped the first promo of their Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer, now titled War. And it turns out to be awesome, worth the salt of the two top stars that they have roped in to play the leads.
Oh, what a way to push away the Monday blues for any Bollywood fans! In a very surprising move, Yash Raj Films dropped the first promo of their Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer, now titled War. And it turns out to be awesome, worth the salt of the two top stars that they have roped in to play the leads. The minute-long teaser is a display of how slick the movie is made, with some very cool action sequences and Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff and War's sole female lead and YRF's blue-eyed girl, Vaani Kapoor, looking really, really good. WAR Teaser Out! Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff Face Off in a Stylish and Visually Stunning First Footage (Watch Video).
War is directed by Siddharth Anand, who had earlier directed the action thriller, Bang Bang, also starring Hrithik. Shot on exotic locales, War has Hrithik and Tiger, who idolises the former in real life, have their characters at loggerheads with each other. The teaser does a smart job of not giving us much insight into the premise. At one point, we think we see Hrithik chasing Tiger and then it is the other way round.
Watch the teaser of War below:
That said, there are quite a few movies that the War teaser reminded us of, from straight from YRF's studio, to a South movie to a couple of Hollywood blockbusters.
Dhoom 3
Don't tell me the whole bike chasing (or the general chasing of it) reminded you of Dhoom 3. Especially the scene where Hrithik and Tiger's characters clash with each other on bikes!
Fast & Furious Franchise
The sheer scale on how the action scenes are mounted, whole going globe-trotting, as well as how OTT they feel, reminds us of Vin Diesel's action franchise in general. Especially Furious 7.
Mission: Impossible: Fallout
The whole dogfight happening with the background of snowcapped mountains gets us back to the last instalment of Tom Cruise's popular action franchise.
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
Two heroes clashing with each other, one with murderous intent and one has a girlfriend, and the whole fight in a ruined crypt sort of place - yup, that gives out the vibe of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Even the posters of War and some action posturing have a similar feel to that of BVS.
Athadu
Telugu movie fans were quick to remind us that the final fight scene between Hrithik and Tiger is similar to the climactic fight scene between Mahesh Babu and Sonu Sood in this 2005 blockbuster. Similar setting, similar murals! Not sure if similar premise too!
War
From that title to Jet Li and Jason Statham fighting each other through impressively mounted action sequences, why are we getting a sense of deja vu here?
