‘Pippa’ Trailer: A closer look at intriguing war drama

Earlier this week, Prime Video dropped an action-packed trailer of Pippa, a thrilling war film that has left viewers eagerly anticipating its release.

As the trailer offers a tantalizing look into this compelling war drama, let's delve into five moments that have already captured our attention and set the stage for an unmissable cinematic adventure.

This scene not only stirs profound patriotism but also serves as a poignant reminder of our true heroes' sacrifices for the nation.

The film's title, 'Pippa,' pays homage to the PT-76, an amphibious war tank fondly referred to as 'Pippa' by Punjabi soldiers, akin to an empty ghee tin that floats effortlessly in water.

5. AR Rahman's Mesmerizing Score
