Babbar trailer: A tale of brutality, bloodshed and bravado

Upcoming Punjabi film Babbar, starring singer and actor Amrit Maan, will be released in theatres on 18 March.

Written and directed by Amar Hundal, the first single from the film, ‘Kikli’, was recently released.

Maan shared the news on Instagram, asking his fans how they liked the trailer.

The trailer tells us that the kingpin, who controls the actual power in the city, is Babbar (Yograj Singh), a ferocious-looking man, dressed all in black. We see him using force and violence, which is the source of his power and there are several players gunning for his position.

Another scene shows different men vying for the attention of a young girl, who tries to shun their advances. Maan seems to play a character who steps into this murky world to avenge wrongs done to him. In between, are scenes of violence, fighting, bloodshed and more violence. The action choreography, with stunts in slow motion, are typical of action films these days. 

There are many gruesome scenes in the trailer, including a severed head lying on a table, bloodied knives being waved around, people being shot in the head by the second, even young children resorting to violence.

With bullets flying around in slow motion and a rock-inspired soundtrack, Babbar seems to glorify violence as scene after scene shows characters shooting bullets without a care and killing people without batting an eyelid. Hundal has also directed the action film Warning (2021), starring Prince KJ Singh and Gippy Grewal, also a bloody story of brutal machinations by different gangs.

Check out the trailer below and let us know if you are keen to see the film.
