They say nothing can come in the middle of politics between two nations. But with Begum Jaan, we know there is one army of women who can go to any level to save their self-respect and pride, even if it means picking up arms against the authorities. Vidya Balan is in a fierce avatar, and giving her company is some more female actors who play the workers of her brothel. And trust us when we say, that they will give you a chill down your spine. They are ready to face even a historical event as big as the India-Pakistan partition, to safeguard their home. Begum Jaan's first trailer released today and it gives an intense glimpse into what can be expected in this Vidya Balan film. And going by the looks of it, the film only promises some award-winning performances. Watch | Here's The First Poster Of Vidya Balan's Begum Jaan The trailer begins with Amitabh Bachchan's baritone where he gives a backdrop of India-Pakistan Partition and how the LoC was meant to cross from within the brothel of Vidya, who plays the title role of Begum Jaan. As the trailer proceeds, we are introduced to the fearless and blunt Vidya who delivers some striking dialogues. We bet you will get goosebumps when you see Vidya saying, "Mahina humme ginna aata hai Sahab, hamesha laal karke jaata hai." (We know what is a month end, it always comes and paints us red.) While Vidya is set to deliver another award winning performance, supporting actors like Gauahar Khan and Pallavi Sharda are holding the film strongly with their fiery acts too. Begum Jaan boasts of women power, but what leaves us surprised is to see Chunkey pandey in a rare cunning role. He looks quite unrecognisable we must say.
