Ghayal Once Again trailer review: Blast from the past

25 years ago, Bollywood met its Rambo in Sunny Deol's Ajay Mehra.
He simmered with the pent-up frustration of things being beyond his control and glowered at anyone unjust. From being a rebel without a relevant cause, Sunny went on to find a worthy adversary in Balwant Rai and the rest, as they say, is history. At least, box-office history. The film had released in the year 1990 along with Aamir Khan-starrer Dil and yet managed to rule supreme at the ticket windows.The trailer of the film's sequel has been launched now. Produced by Dharmendra and directed by Sunny Deol himself, the film features four other teenagers, who are all newbies.
The trailer is in the form of a narrative. You are told about four teenagers and their recklessness in action and words. As expected, the fantastic four fall in trouble and in comes our Rambo to their rescue. The next few seconds of the trailer are dedicated to the wonders of Sunny Deol's dhai kilo ka haath. He proves that he still is the angry young man as he bashes the baddies to a pulp. Single-handedly seems to be the keyword for him. Even all these years later, Sunny isn't much of a team player, eh?
What we liked:
Sunny days are here again: Sunny Deol is just as good as we remembered him. He knows that his forte is action and sticks to it. Good to have him back!
Action Jackson: Action scenes of the film have been treated well. They are smart and the kind that you would expect in a film made in 2015.
Mumbai: Mumbai is open to interpretations and looks different in every film. Sunny's Mumbai looks like a good playground for an action-drama.
What we didn't:
Deja-vu: While watching the trailer, it was impossible to shrug off the feeling that we are watching scenes from a '90s film.
Ek Villain: After fighting a villain like Amrish Puri as Balwant Rai, it seems very meek of Ajay to take on someone who is after the lives of four youngsters. Not judging.
Flying cars: The trailer ends with the shot of a car flying through, infront of the Mumbai local train. Did Rohit Shetty ghost direct this film?
Making a sequel to Ghayal, 25 years later, seems to be a good idea. However, Sunny is playing with fire here.Ghayal Once Againcan be another blockbuster or go bust. Either ways, the film will make for an interesting watch.
