It's Ajay vs Sidharth in 'Thank God' Diwali trailer!
Ahead of its theatrical release on October 25, the makers of the upcoming comedy film Thank God have unveiled another trailer. Fronted by Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra, and Rakul Preet Singh, it'll focus on a man's (Malhotra) afterlife, where he meets Chitragupta, the mythological Hindu God who keeps an account of one's evil and ethical deeds on Earth. Indra Kumar directed the movie.
Why does this story matter?
It is a tried and tested Bollywood trend to release films on festive occasions such as Eid, Diwali, and Holi to draw more crowds to theaters. Housefull 4, Krrish 3, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, and Golmaal Again are some films that were released on Diwali and minted huge numbers. It remains to be seen if Thank God can follow suit.
Set designs look aesthetic, but the jokes disappoint
The Diwali trailer provides deeper insights into the plot and pits Malhotra and Devgn against each other. There's also a clarification behind Chitragupta's suave attire, possibly to ward off any controversies. The fantasy elements and devlok look aesthetically pleasing and the film also tips its hat to Amitabh Bachchan in a meta way. However, like the first trailer, laughs are few and far between.
