The trailer for Salman Khan’s upcoming film Bharat dropped on 22 April and while droves of Salman fans praised it several Tweeple were busy churning out memes. One scene featuring Katrina Kaif has especially been fodder for Twitter. In it, she tells Salman’s character, “Itna bhaari gyaan dene ki zarurat nahi hai,” when he offers a long explanation for why he’s named Bharat.
Check out some of the memes here:
Some took to political commentary.
While others were reminded of their school days.
Others got philosophical... and we can all relate!
One inspired Twitter user poked fun at the fact that Bharat is, after all, a Salman Khan film.
Starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, Bharat is a remake of award-winning Korean film Ode to My Father. It has been directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and also stars Sunil Grover, Jackie Shroff, Tabu and Disha Patani.
The film sees Salman don several different avatars from a stuntman to a miner to a naval officer. The trailer opens with Jawaharlal’s now famous Tryst with Destiny speech that he delivered on the eve of India’s Independence, towards midnight. We see an aged Salman Khan reminiscing about the miraculous journey of his life, spanning several years.
Bharat releases on 5 June.
