Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmmi Bomb is a film that everyone is waiting for. So, when the trailer of the film was released yesterday, it was expected that it will get a good response.
But well, the response is exceptional and in just 24 hours the trailer has become the most viewed movie trailer in India with 70 million views (YouTube + other social media platforms).
Fox Star Hindi, the producers of the film, took to Instagram to inform everyone about it. They posted, “Kaha tha na #Laxmmi aayegi toh ek dhamakedar bomb phodegi?? Thank you everyone for showing so much love to #LaxmmiBombTrailer ❤️ and making it the most viewed trailer in India in 24 Hours #YehDiwaliLaxmmiBombWali ? #FoxStarStudios #DisneyPlusHotstarMultiplex @akshaykumar @kiaraaliaadvani @offl_lawrence @shabskofficial @tusshark89 @disneyplushotstarvip #CapeOfGoodFilms #ShabinaaEntertainment #TussharEntertainmentHouse @zeemusiccompany.”
The trailer is fantastic and keeps us engaged for those 3 minutes 40 seconds. Akshay is simply amazing in it.
Laxmmi Bomb was slated to hit the big screens on Eid this year, but now it will get a direct-to-digital release on Disney+ Hotstar. However, after watching the trailer a lot of people are posting on social media that they want to watch the movie in theatres.
Directed by Raghava Lawrence, Laxmmi Bomb is a remake of Tamil movie Muni 2: Kanchana which was also helmed by Lawrence. The filmmaker took to Twitter to thank everyone for giving such a great response to the trailer.
He posted, “Thanks to everyone for the love you showered for Laxmmi bomb trailer ? @akshaykumar.”

Production houses confirm three-way collaboration between Mehta, Pellissery, and Rahman
Film currently in casting stage with shooting planned later this year
Pellissery's track record suggests an unconventional take on the romance genre
Rahman returns to work with Mehta after their Gandhi series collaboration
Project marks Pellissery's first major crossover into Hindi film circles
Wait, read that again. Hansal Mehta's production is backing a romantic drama from Lijo Jose Pellissery. And AR Rahman? He's building the entire soundscape for it. The combination feels almost unreal, right? It's like three separate rivers of filmmaking talent suddenly crashing into one project.

What's the actual plot of this pellissery film?
They're keeping story details locked down tight. The official line calls it a "lyrical exploration of love," which sounds nice but means very little coming from a director known for chaotic chases and funeral processions that spiral into madness. The script comes from Pellissery and writer Karan Vyas. Given Pellissery's history, expect something raw and unpredictable rather than rose-tinted. His approach to human relationships typically involves peeling back layers until things get messy.
Look at their backgrounds. Mehta built his name on biographical dramas and sharp social commentary. Pellissery operates in his own cinematic universe where conventional rules do not apply. Rahman's involvement guarantees the music will be another character entirely. Sahil Saigal from Mehta's production company called it "momentous" and for once that does not sound like empty producer talk. This feels like one of those projects that could actually shift how Indian films get made.
No confirmed release window yet; these things take time, especially with directors as particular as Pellissery. The production houses involved are Mehta's True Story Films and Amen Movie Monastery. This also marks the second time Rahman and Mehta have worked together after finishing their Gandhi series, which premiered at Toronto last year.
