Raabta trailer: Sushant Singh Rajput, Kriti Sanon love story comes with an epic twist. Watch video

Raabta is a story that travels between the past and the present. Debutant director Dinesh Vijan’s vision comes out quite sharply as he brings you the candy-coloured romance and then throws you back in time without as much as a warning. While Kriti has an impressive presence on screen, Sushant and Jim stand out as performers, like always.

And the most soothing element is the song that plays in the background during the trailer. Remember Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s song from Agent Vinod, Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta? Well, that has got a reprised version in this film which falls into context effortlessly.

Kriti and Sushant ensured that there was enough buzz about their romantic film. If speculations about their real-life romance — now on, and now off — were not enough, we also had sun-kissed posters and a promo where love and destiny came together. The teaser which landed on Sunday had the two playing a game of scrabble. While Kriti was the straight-out winner, Sushant was the one who was not afraid to cheat.

So ‘Trailer out Tomo’ ,but @itsSSR I won this game! Next time come up with better words 😜#RaabtaTrailerTomorrow @RaabtaOfficial pic.twitter.com/cWfJwmJqn8

What lends the trailer more weight is Irrfan Khan lending his voice for it. In fact, an interesting story goes with this as well. Dinesh and Irrfan were on a flight when the director asked if Irrfan could do a voice-over for his film. Irrfan instantly agreed and promised to do it once they were back.

Vijan said in a statement: “We needed a soothsayers’ voice for the trailer. Irrfan’s voice is amazing and distinct. We were flying to Georgia when I asked Irrfan if he could do a small voice-over for Raabta. He agreed and then asked me the details.”

Raabta is being produced by Maddock films and T-Series, and is slated to release on June 9.
