Actor Ishaan Khatter-starrer war film Pippa is all set for the OTT release on November 10, and the makers have unveiled the riveting trailer of the movie, which is a thrilling narrative of a landmark moment in history, the ‘Battle of Garibpur’, during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, that was pivotal in Bangladesh’s struggle for independence.
The film features Ishaan as the real-life war hero Captain Balram Singh Mehta along with Mrunal Thakur, Priyanshu Painyuli and Soni Razdan in pivotal roles.
The two minute 26 second trailer begins with a battlefield, which has tanks, soldiers, and a voiceover is heard saying, “agar koi hamara giribaan pakad kar hame dhamkayega, to ham usse muh tod jawab denge”.
An intense look of Ishaan in an Army uniform will be seen, and it shows a powerful glimpse of “India’s Deadliest War”.
The trailer then features an amphibious war tank called the PT-76 (Palavushi Tanka), which was popularly known as Pippa.
Pippa is akin to an empty tin of ghee that smoothly floats on water. This wartime saga narrates a story of patriotism and heroism, and traces the coming of age of Captain Balram Mehta (Ishaan) of the 45 Cavalry Tank Squadron. Together, Balram Mehta and the Indian Armed Forces exemplify valour and courage, in a war for the liberation of another country, and redefine what it means to be a hero. (IANS)
