Veer-Zaara in Poland

Veer-Zaara was released in Poland yesterday. For the first time a Bollywood film is being shown in a purely commercially orientated cinema in Warsaw (Wisła), though it is expected to run for only a week.
Since I think it is great news that we have the first signs of the industry trying to exploit a Bollywood film commercially in Poland (rather than in art cinemas which is what has been happening so far), I thought I would try to encourage people via my blog to go and see the film (it is important that people go to see the film if this trend is to continue) and therefore here are a few trailers :D

Here's a teaser trailer:


This is the teaser trailer for Main Yahaan Hoon (one of the songs in Veer-Zaara):


Teaser trailer for Aisa Des Hai Mera:


And finally what I think was the theatrical trailer in India:


The film itself (which I had the pleasure of seeing at a Bollywood weekend in Warsaw) is a huge romantic story with Shah Rukh Khan playing what he is best known for - a romantic hero (one of my earlier posts is full of Don trailers which is a film in which he plays a rather dark character and that is not really what he is best known for ;) ). He also does his trademark crying scenes in this film (love it or hate it - no other actor cries like Shah Rukh ;-P). And I'll add a word of caution - this film is veeeery soppy! (and not all Bollywood films are like that, so if you don't like soppy stuff, don't get discouraged from Indian cinema - it is as varied as American cinema) One of the film's strengths however are the visuals - it's absolutely stunning visually (I don't think those trailers quite do it justice) and besides that it's a lot of fun (some jokes are put in even during the soppy scenes lol).
It is the story of an Indian man in a Pakistani prison who refuses to speak to anyone. And of course his love story is behind all the mystery.
