Bheed trailer out! Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar's film revisits the migrant crisis during lockdown

Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha is back with yet another hard-hitting social drama called Bheed. The film's trailer was unveiled on Friday and lead actor Rajkummar Rao shared it on Instagram. The film looks back at the migrant crisis that gripped India during the lockdown in 2020. 

"In the darkest times faced by the nation, one man will dare to make a difference. Trailer out now! #Bheed, in cinemas on 24th March," Rajkummar captioned the post. 

The film documents the dark phase during the lockdown when state borders were sealed for fear of the spread of novel coronavirus and thousands of migrants had to travel by foot to return to their native place. 

The trailer shows how scores were stranded away from home, literally under the open sky, bringing back painful memories of the Partition of India in 1947.

The film stars Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Pankaj Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Dia Miza and Kiriti Kamra in pivotal roles and is all set to hit the theatres on March 24, 2023.

Soon after the makers unveiled the official trailer of the film, fans flooded the comment section with red hearts and fire emoticons."Waooooo. must watch movie...," a fan commented. Another fan wrote, "Rao has hit a jackpot with this script. Every Indian, regardless of age group, is going to relate, especially this is going to hit the masses, and The only way people will get back to the theatres... good job & all the best."

Bhumi will be seen essaying the role of a doctor while Rao will be seen playing a police inspector. This film marks the second collaboration of Rajkummar and Bhumi after Badhaai Do. The film was released last year and garnered praise from the audience and critics alike.

Rajkummar Rao was last seen in the Netflix original Monica, O My Darling. Bhumi will be seen in Ajay Bahl`s The Ladykiller, Sudhir Mishra's Afwaa, Gauri Khan-produced Bhakshak, and Mudassar Aziz's Mere Husband Ki Biwi.
