Watch: Boring Imraan and studly Kangana are intriguing in the Katti Batti trailer

Yay! There’s another Kangana Ranaut film on the horizon. But oh, doesn’t Katti Batti look a bit like those trying-too-hard-to-be-quirky romances? You know, the kind which always has Imraan Khan playing the nice boy in love with a stud of a girl? Think Break Ke Baad, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Ek Main Aur Ek Tu and Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. But let’s not get too anxious yet. Because Kangana Ranaut’s in the house guys! Ranaut plays Payal, an art student in Nikhil Advani’s film. Imran Khan plays Madhav Kabra, an architect. You’ll know Rananut is meant to play the free spirited, wild child in a heartbeat thanks to how predictable Bollywood’s styling can be. So Ranaut gets long blonde streaked tress with bangs in a few frames, a posh, severe bob in another, and lose wavy tresses in yet another frame. Now open your book of Bollywood stereotypes and it tell you, more than two kinds of hairtsyles in one film means the character in question is meant to be rebellious and cool.

The trailer starts off with a video recording with Ranaut’s voice-over, where she seems to be bullying Khan into getting married to her. She sets the waste in a bin on fire in a room and starts chanting wedding mantras in jest. Through the course of the trailer, we are told she is not into ‘serious’ relationships. She talks about ’time pass’, shows the middle finger to the boy, initiates a kiss, hands a box of condoms to an old man, does pelvic thrusts emulating sex as her boyfriend squirms. All this in one trailer, so that there’s no doubt left in your mind that she is indeed the queen of cool. Khan on the other hand is shown demonstrating what a human male doormat should ideally look like, throughout the trailer. The girlfriend bosses him over, the friends scolds him, the young sister gives him gyaan, basically, his life is one hell. The story seems to take off after Payal  leaves Madhav, after living with him for five years. “OMG, what?” cries every single person Madhav knows. Then we see him telling Ranaut how no one will love her more than him. Then there are some scenes which seem straight out of Love Aaj Kal. Finally, the trailer concludes with Kangana aka Payal being super badass by pulling her boyfriend up for not urinating into the pot properly. We are guessing that’s the badass-est dialogue in the entire film. We would be super excited about this film, had we not been so infatuated with Ranaut lately. Check the trailer out for yourself here.
