The trailer of Anurag Basu’s much delayed and much awaited film Jagga Jasoos is finally here and it’s nothing like you’ve ever seen in Bollywood before. The Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif starrer resembles the dreamy and lighthearted narrative of Wes Anderson’s films. The lead pair seem to be on an adventurous quest of sorts that starts in Manipur.
Ranbir’s school-boy look might remind you of Anurag Basu’s previous film Barfi!, but the exotic animals featured in the film will leave you curious.
Somewhere between the ostrich rides, dessert escapades, elephant races and other crazy adventures, Ranbir and Katrina come close. In the last 10 seconds of the intriguing trailer, Ranbir is being his goofy self and Katrina gives him a dead pan look.
The Jagga Jasoos trailer leaves us wanting to know more, just how Mr Basu wants it to be. It might be too soon to say if this is a children’s fantasy film or a kaleidoscope of unusual events that tell a quirky story for all ages.
The film releases on 7 April, 2017.
