The trailer of JP Dutta’s Paltan has just been released. Based on the 1967 Sino-Indian clash, the film stars Arjun Rampal, Jackie Shroff, Sonu Sood and Luv Sinha among others.
The trailer revolves around the “eyeball to eyeball” confrontation between the Indian and Chinese soldiers, and there are enough dialogues, fisticuffs and bullets to drive home the point. Check out the trailer here:
How authentic the film is in terms of historical facts remains to be seen, but the trailer does promise a lot of jingoism and of course, nationalistic fervour. There’s also a strong sense of deja vu vis-a-vis Border and LOC Kargil.
Paltan releases on 7 September.
