Arjun Kapoor in India’s Most Wanted teaser.“2007 to 2013, 52 blasts, 810 injured, 433 killed, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Mumbai.” This is how the teaser of Arjun Kapoor’s upcoming film India’s Most Wanted begins and it manages to retain our attention throughout its duration.
Touted as a story of ‘guts and pride’, the film appears to be an espionage thriller inspired by real-life incidents. Arjun as intelligence officer Prabhat is ready to take on ‘India’s Osama’ with his four companions. This he promises to do without anyone’s support and without using arms and ammunition.
The antagonist of the movie is ‘nameless and faceless’ but sends chills down the spine as he promises to commit the crime without a sign of regret. Now, is his character inspired by a real-life person or not, can’t be said. Not only this, but the teaser leaves us with many other questions which presumably will get answered with the release of the trailer of the film.
