Batla House: An interesting trailer with John Abraham at his best

15th August 2019, mark the date as not one or two, but this year, we will be having three films hitting the screens on that day. There’s Saaho, Mission Mangal and Batla House. The teaser of all the three films had impressed us a lot and now, the trailer of Batla House has been released.

Starring John Abraham and Mrunal Thakur, Batla House is based on a real incident of Operation Batla House that took place in the year 2008. The trailer of the film is quite interesting and impresses us. The dialogues are powerful and the best element in the trailer is John Abraham. The actor’s performance is the highlight here and it looks like John is all set to give his career’s best performance in this film.


John took to Twitter to share the trailer with his fans. He tweeted, “Was the nation prejudiced or was it really a fake encounter? The questions will finally be answered. #BatlaHouseTrailer out now. https://bit.ly/BatlaHouse_OfficialTrailer @mrunal0801 @ravikishann @nikkhiladvani @writish @TSeries @EmmayEntertain @johnabrahament @bakemycakefilms.”

Mrunal Thakur has been given decent screen time in the trailer and looks like she will give a confident performance in the movie. There’s also Nora Fatehi and apart from showing us her killer dance moves, she also has a few scenes in the film where we will get to see her acting chops.

John has been having a good record at the box office with his past films. His decision of clashing with biggies like Mission Mangal and Saaho is surely being questioned. But well, after watching the trailer, we can say Batla House will turn out to be a good competition for Mission Mangal and Saaho. Also, nowadays we can see that the moviegoers want good content and even films of big stars are not doing well at the box office.
