The Power trailer: Vidyut Jammwal does what he is known for and that is ACTIOn!

The trailer of Vidyut Jammwal’s upcoming actioner The Power is out. The film, also featuring Shruti Haasan in the lead role, is directed by Mahesh Manjrekar.

The long-ish trailer’s first 30 or so seconds promise a romantic movie, but then it shifts gears. Somebody close to Shruti’s character, perhaps her father, dies and she swears vengeance.

The film is set in the 1990s, and bears a strong resemblance to the cinema of that decade it is an ultra-violent revenge fantasy like so many movies of that era. 

If that’s your thing, you are going to enjoy The Power. Since Vidyut Jammwal is in the film, the action scenes are certainly going to be great. But if you desire anything of substance, look elsewhere.

The Power, also starring Prateik Babbar and Jisshu Sengupta, will premiere on January 14 on Zee Plex, a pay-per-view platform, at Rs 199.
