Laal Singh Chaddha trailer looks exactly the same as Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump

Aamir Khan's Indian adaptation of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump, Laal Singh Chaddha has released its trailer and it looks exactly like the English film just in an Indian setup.

Whether they are from Hollywood to Bollywood or from books to films, adaptations are such genres of filmmaking that are often the biggest gamble that might or might not work. And here comes Aamir Khan with his biggest gamble as he adapts the very famous Tom Hanks's Forrest Gump, an experimental film in itself into a Bollywood film, Laal Singh Chaddha. After much await since the time the movie has been announced here is the trailer of the film and it looks exactly scene by scene the same as the English film but just in an Indian setup.

Aamir Khan as Laal goes through various phases from breaking free of the shackles in his legs to joining the army to running across the country and much more in his life just as Forrest Gump does as being born different. And Kareena Kapoor essays the role of Jenny Curran, rebel revolutionist and the only friend, love of Gump while Mona Singh plays the role of the Mother. Now, if you have watched Forrest Gump then Chaddha's trailer will remind you precisely scene by scene of the film and even the looks of Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor are exactly the same as what Tom Hanks and Robin Wright look like.

But the larger question remains as to whether the film does justice in retaining the essence of Forrest Gump or becomes a failed attempt to recreate the magic of the film so beloved by people. The problem with the exact scene-by-scene adaptation is that it makes the film subject to comparison with its original source. It would be interesting to see whether Laal Singh Chaddha can rise above that scrutiny.

Produced by Aamir Khan and directed by Advait Chandan the film will release in theatres on August 11! What did you think of the trailer?
