Looks like Bollywood will finally show us a good crime thriller after a long hiatus. The trailer of ‘Ittefaq’ was released a while ago and yes, it totally looks the kind that we want to watch. Remember the good old crime stories like ‘Talash’, ‘Ajnabee’ and even ‘Kahaani’? Now that’s the kind of genre we are talking about.
The trailer begins with the classic interrogatory line, ‘Toh hua kya kal raat ko’?

The movie stars Sidharth Malhotra as a crime suspect who has probably murdered his own wife and also Sonakshi Sinha’s husband. The latter is also a prime suspect and the trailer shows two sides of the same story.

However, the best part of the trailer is Akshaye Khanna as the sharp and fierce cop who trusts no one and suspects everyone.
He trusts no one and suspects everyone! He only wants the TRUTH! #Ittefaq #3rdNOV @S1dharthM @sonakshisinha #akshaye pic.twitter.com/imFSSlADBL

The film is a co-production between Dharma Productions, Red Chillies Entertainment and BR films.
The movie marks the debut of Abhay Chopra as a director and the interesting part is that it is apparently an adaptation of the Yash Chopra film that goes by the same name.
My fav films by Yashji #Ittefaq is being recreated by Abhay. Thx @S1dharthM @sonakshisinha Akshaye. Also BR & Dharma Films tie up with RCE

Will the movie live up to its hype of being a modern day remake? Only time will tell. The movie is all set to hit screens on November 3rd.
