Teaser/Trailer HD:



UTV Motion Pictures have just released a new official trailer and a few posters from the movie directed by the famous Vishal Bhardwaj and starring Shahid Kapoor:



You often hear actors describing their film as "special" to promote it. But Shahid Kapoor was so sure that Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider is indeed "special" that along with the filmmaker he too decided not to charge any money for the film so that neither the budget is overstretched nor the quality compromised.


His hero's selfless act and his commitment and passion for good cinema has impressed Vishal. After seeing him in action in Haider and before that in Kaminey, the perfectionist director is convinced that Shahid is the `finest actor in his age group'. "Shakespeare's play, Hamlet, has some really long monologues and so does Haider. Listening to Shahid deliver those wordy pieces on my headphones I was reminded of Naseer (Naseeruddin Shah) and Pankaj Kapur," he says. Haider completes the Shakespearean triology for Vishal which started with Maqbool."When I was making Maqbool, a contemporary adaptation of Macbeth, I didn't know that I would go on to make Omkara (an Indianised version of Othello). It was circumstances which brought it about," says Vishal, pointing out that after that he took a long gap from Shakespeare before picking up Hamlet. "A lot of filmmakers were also toying with the same subject but I guess I was destined to make Hamlet."


Trailer Analysis:

The film is not going to be regular commercial romance which has universal appeal. The trailer promises excellent performances with unusual dark drama. Film is inspired from Shakespeare’s novel Hamlet so be assured for plot. The only thing which we can wish for is good and gripping narrative.



Star Value: Shahid Kapoor is a treat to watch in the trailer. He promises best ever performance from his side which can turn the tables around for dark genre films. Look at his expressions! Just Fab they are! The film may not be a huge grosser but it will be far more money spinner than other similar kind of films. Shraddha Kapoor gets herself out from her comfort zone and its good to see her in different space. Tabu is very good. Kay Kay Menon is also impressive. Irrfan Khan has a cameo in the film.

Music & Technical Aspects will be strong undoubtedly.
