Pippa Trailer :Mrunal Thakur and Ishaan Khatter ’s War Drama Looks Promising!

Prime Video has announced the direct-to-streaming premiere of the film “Pippa” with an intriguing trailer. The movie is a thrilling portrayal of a historic moment in the Battle of Garibpur during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, which played a crucial role in Bangladesh’s fight for independence.

The trailer takes viewers back to the time when India fought the Battle of Garibpur on the eastern front. Captain Balram Singh Mehta assumed command of the squadron after their leader was injured during the mission. Alongside his siblings, he was on the frontlines of the war, contributing significantly to India’s pursuit of victory. With the battle cry “We fight like soldiers, kill like soldiers, and die like soldiers” serving as a rallying call, Indian forces put forth their best efforts, ultimately leading to the liberation of Bangladesh.

Based on the book ‘The Burning Chaffees’ by Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta, the film is written by Raja Krishna Menon, Tanmay Mohan, and Ravinder Randhawa. The soul-stirring music for the film is composed by the maestro A.R. Rahman, providing an atmospheric backdrop to this story of patriotism and sacrifice.

The movie gets its name from the amphibious war tank called the PT-76 (Palavushi Tanka), commonly known as “Pippa,” which smoothly floats on water like an empty tin of ghee. This wartime saga narrates a story of patriotism and heroism, tracing the coming-of-age journey of Captain Balram Mehta (portrayed by Ishaan Khatter) of the 45 Cavalry Tank Squadron. Balram Mehta and the Indian Armed Forces exemplify valor and courage as they fight for the liberation of another country, redefining the meaning of heroism.

Produced by Ronnie Screwvala under RSVP and Siddharth Roy Kapur’s Roy Kapur Films, and directed by Raja Krishna Menon, the film stars Ishaan Khatter as the real-life war hero Captain Balram Singh Mehta, along with Mrunal Thakur, Priyanshu Painyuli, and Soni Razdan in pivotal roles. “Pippa” is set to premiere on Diwali, November 10.
