Black Widows Trailer Breakdown
Black Widows trailer dropped today and it looks interesting.
Black Widows in the latest dish served up by Zee5. After Churails, Zee5 is back with yet another story about women taking justice into their own hands after society fails to provide them an equal footing in society.
The trailer begins with Mona Singh (of Jassi Jaisi...fame), Shamita Shetty and Swastika Mukherjee sharing that their husbands are abusive. One woman is a victim of domestic violence, the other (it appears) is being passed around, the third is scared for her daughter's safety. All of them are emotionally bruised and scared for their lives.
They decide to get together and do something about it. When their husbands are on a boat one day, they blow up the boat and get rid of all the male toxicity in their lives.
The next part of the trailer looks like a crossover episode between Four More Shots and Aarya. The women are finally free and single and living it up. They are flirting with men, dressing up and in general having a blast (no pun intended). But there is a case open to investigate the death of their husbands and a police officer following them around.
Through montage we see images of violence - and a blink and you miss me scene with Raima Sen who appears to strike some kind of business deal with the Widows. The last scene is an expected cliffhanger - the police inspector suspects that one of the men escaped. His mission now is to try and find the survivor in order to find answers to the questions that plague him about what really happened on the boat.
The series looks interesting and I hope it delivers. In the past, shows in the same genre tend to be cheesy and over-the-top. Let's hope Black Widows does not go the same way. We'll find out on December 18th when it releases on Zee5.
