The
trailer
of
Ramesh
Sippy's
upcoming
film
Shimla
Mirchi
dropped
on
Thursday
and
man,
we
can
expect
some
laughs
from
this
unusual
love
story.
Starring
Rajkummar
Rao,
Rakul
Preet
Singh
and
Hema
Malini
in
the
lead,
the
film
is
about
a
mother-daughter
duo
falling
in
love
with
the
same
man.
In
the
trailer,
we
see
Rajkummar's
character
struggle
to
say,
'I
love
you',
although
his
family
is
super
encouraging.
When
he
finally
does
manage
to
profess
his
love
on
paper,
after
setting
his
eyes
on
a
girl
(Rakul),
it
reaches
the
wrong
woman;
the
girl's
mother
(Hema).
Prodded
on
by
the
girl,
the
mother
falls
head
over
heels
in
love
with
Rajkummar's
character.
The
mother
has
made
up
her
mind
to
be
'bura',
and
what
unfolds
is
a
confusing
yet
hilarious
situation.
Hema
Malini,
who
will
be
back
on
the
big
screen
after
years,
appears
solid
as
the
mother
who
now
wishes
to
turn
into
a
'bad
girl';
it
looks
like
she
will
steal
the
show.
Rajkummar
is
endearing
as
the
soft
spoken
boy
who
is
unable
to
refuse
the
advances
by
Hema's
character,
whom
he
clearly
does
not
have
feelings
for.
Rakul's
charm
as
the
well-wishing
daughter
is
undeniable.
