Eetha trailer: Shraddha Kapoor transforms into Lavani legend Vithabai in musical drama | Watch

New Delhi: The much-awaited trailer of Shraddha Kapoor starrer has been released. The film is a musical drama inspired by the life of a Lavani legend, The trailer makes it clear that behind the applause was a woman navigating heartbreak, personal battles and an unwavering commitment to her art.

Dressed in traditional Lavani costumes, commands the stage as Vithabai. The colourful sets, high-energy choreography and folk music recreate the world of Tamasha, but the mood soon shifts as the trailer moves into the more difficult chapters of her life.

What’s in the Eetha trailer?

In the trailer, one emotional moment has Vithabai saying, “Mera bharosa hi mera ghamand tha re, jab woh tut gaya na sab tut gaya (My trust was my pride, and when that trust broke, everything fell apart),” hinting at a betrayal that changes her life.

But if heartbreak knocks her down, dance appears to pull her right back up. “Naach ke muqable mein taqdeer bhi nahi jeet sakti (Even destiny cannot win against dance),” another dialogue declares, summing up the spirit of a woman whose relationship with the stage went far beyond her profession.

Perhaps the trailer’s most powerful line arrives when Vithabai says, “Pade-pade mari toh bechari kahlaungi, par nachte hue mari toh misal ban jaungi (If I die lying down, I’ll be called helpless, but if I die dancing, I’ll become an example for others).” It’s dramatic, defiant and pretty much establishes the emotional heartbeat of the film.

Randeep Hooda and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub also make brief appearances as the trailer offers glimpses into Vithabai’s relationships and family life. Another sequence sees her fiercely defending the traditional Navvari saree when her attire is questioned, describing it as a symbol of Maharashtrian pride.
