Her world is good, bad, ugly and everything in between. The trailer of Alia Bhatt’s upcoming film Jigra released on Thursday and it is everything you will expect it to be – dark, intense and still replete with love.

Step into the vast, mystical sands of Arrakis, where the whispers of prophecy echo through time. The makers of Dune: Prophecy recently dropped its trailer. In the trailer, viewers are transported back 10,000 years before the legendary tale unfolds and dives deep into the origins of the Bene Gesserit order amidst an Imperium-wide conflict. It introduces viewers to Valya and Tula Harkonnen, played by Emily Watson and Olivia Williams respectively, who manoeuvre through the shadows to influence the path of the Imperium and ultimately seek to place a Bene Gesserit sister on the throne. The visuals also feature the infamous sandworms and echoes of the Butlerian Jihad. The portrayal of the Bene Gesserit in their formative years reveals their political machinations and sheds light on a different chapter for the Harkonnen family as they seek to reclaim power after a devastating galactic war. Tabu, as Sister Francesa, makes a brief appearance in the trailer.

Showrunner Alison Schapker teased the series’ backdrop, stating, “We are in the shadow of the wars” following the fight against AI, with thinking machines outlawed but perhaps still lurking in the universe. This narrative theme suggests a world where humanity grapples with the void left by technology and strives to redefine what it means to be human.

According to a report in Variety, Tabu will recur in the role of Sister Francesca and her character is described as “Strong, intelligent, and alluring, Sister Francesca leaves a lasting impression in her wake. Once a great love of the Emperor, her return to the palace strains the balance of power in the capital.”

Originally greenlit in 2019 as Dune: The Sisterhood, the series draws inspiration from the novel Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. Positioned 10,000 years prior to the rise of Paul Atreides, the show delves into the expansive universe of Dune, exploring the origins of the Bene Gesserit through the narrative of two Harkonnen sisters battling formidable forces threatening humanity’s future.

The series also stars Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Johdi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, and Shalom Brune-Franklin in key roles.

The trailer of R Madhavan, Nayanthara and Siddharth’s Netflix film Test released on Tuesday. The trailer offers a glimpse of an intense drama revolving the three characters whose lives are intertwined; so are their dreams, aspirations and struggles.

The video opens with Nayanthara introducing her husband (Madhavan) to her childhood mate (played by Siddharth). Madhavan, who is a scientist by profession, now runs a canteen, while, Siddharth breathes cricket. The trailer shows Naynathara and Madhavan’s struggles to conceive a child while balancing their professional lives. Taking a cue from the title, the characters are up for a life-altering test which will bring out their best and, perhaps, the worst.

Cricket plays a leitmotif in the film. Test, as the title suggests, is literal and also metaphorical in the film. Siddharth’s matches on ground has repercussions in the lives of Nayanthara and Madhavan. The three characters are seen grappling with their personal choices which will have a drastic impact on their course of lives. Are they hero or villains of their choices – only time will tell.

The trailer of Emraan Hashmi’s Ground Zero is out today. Set in 2000s Kashmir, Emraan Hashmi played the role of a BSF officer, Narendra Nath Dubey, who led the operation in which terrorist mastermind “Ghazi Baba” was killed.

The trailer begins with terrorists attacking BSF soldiers, escalating tension in the valley. With the death of 60-70 soldiers in a quick succession, Emraan Hashmi (referred to as the best man by a superior officer) enters the scene. A Kashmir story against the terrorists – what sets this trailer apart is Emraan Hashmi’s earnest attempt to change the mindset of Kashmir, and not merely saving the land from the clutches of the terrorists.

But when the same man (the character played by Emraan Hashmi) changes his tune and calls for a prahar (attack), something is invariably wrong in the system. He wants to see paintbrush, instead of pistol, in the hands of teenagers. But can officer Dubey fulfill his mission without firing pistols?
