Bheed : Anubhav Sinha’s upcoming film Bheed seems in trouble. Its trailer disappeared from YouTube only days after its release. Viewers noticed on Thursday that the trailer was not available on YouTube. They then realized that the link was now private after it got millions of views on the platform. And now we come to know that the makers removed the trailer after it received backlash for the film’s apparent negative depiction of the lockdown.
Many Twitter users quote tweeted the link of the trailer that was earlier shared by the film’s production house Benaras Media. Users said the video appeared to have been taken down. “The official trailer of the movie ‘Bheed’ is now private on Youtube after backlash. The movie is about the Covid lockdown mismanagement and the plight of the poor migrant labourers, who were forced to walk back home,” read one tweet.
No reason given
Though the video has indeed become private now, makers have not revealed why they did so.
Bheed, staring Rajkummar Rao along with an ensemble cast, depicts the first lockdown after the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and how it affected people. It talsk about the migrant crisis and lack of resources among the common populace. While people praised the trailer for its realistic depiction of the harrowing time, some said it was ‘agenda-driven’ and ‘needlessly negative and anti-establishment’.
Fans are now saying the video was made private because of the backlash. “A trailer is being forced to be private because of trolls. Is this democracy,” wrote one. Many others urged the makers to make the trailer public again.
Inspired by true events
Described as ‘inspired by invisible true events’, the film also stars Dia Mirza, Aditya Srivastava, Ashutosh Rana, Kritika Kamra, Pankaj Kapur, and Bhumi Pednekar. It is set to release in theatres on March 24.
The film’s synopsis reads, “Get ready to be moved by the untold story of a crisis that shook the whole nation. A time when borders of disparity divided the people. Witness the moving tale of #Bheed and one man’s fight for humanity.”
