Imagine reaching home after a tiring day at work and your landlord hands you the electricity bill. You look at the bill and you can feel the ground beneath your feet shaking. Why? Because the electricity bill is not in hundreds or thousands, but in several lakhs and you clearly did not see it coming with your greasy glasses.

This is a major problem which our protagonists will fight against for the most part of 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu', a movie that explores the issue of power or electricity theft like no one else. 

If you follow Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam on social media, then you must have already come across the posters and regular updates about this movie.  Unfortunately, the trailer that released today is like a fused bulb, which did not create the kind of magic we expected from the makers of 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha'.

After giving us a movie like 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha', a brilliant take on the problem of open defecation, our expectations were high from 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu'. However, keeping the weird accent and forced humour aside, the trailer had some good moments from the film's cast - Shahid, Shraddha, Yami and Divyendu Sharma.

Set in the backdrop of a small town in Uttrakhand, the trailer stars Shahid, an advocate by profession, as a carefree person who doesn't care about the problem of power-cuts. In fact, he's made ways with the darkness in his town and starts romanticising with the problem, until his friend (Divyendu Sharma) decides to open a factory and soon gets slapped with an electricity bill of several lakhs. 

Under the pressure of being unable to pay the monstrous bill, his friend commits suicide and Shahid decides to drag the electricity company to the court and teach them a lesson.

Directed by Shree Narayan Singh, 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' is releasing on September 21.
