One of the users tweeted, Bheed Trailer is a very true depiction of something the majority do not like to talk about. It is an incident that divided our country. Hats off to Anubhav Sinha.

Another commented, The Bheed Trailer is very well crafted. It appears that Anubhav Sinha will use this as his masterpiece. a narrative that took place during the initial stages of the pandemic and lockdown, he added.

Rajkummar Rao plays a cop who tries to fight against the bias the lower caste people had to face during turbulent times. The film shows how the migrants were beaten by the police when they tried to cross borders and were sprayed with disinfectants, recalling the true incidents of the demeaning behaviour given to the less-equipped section of society.

Bheed is shot in black and white, as to draw parallels to the India-Pakistan partition of 1947. Anubhav Sinha tries to emphasize the struggle of the non-privileged strata of society.

The film also stars Dia Mirza, Kritika Kamra, Pankaj Kapur, and Ashutosh Rana. Bheed is set to hit the silver screen on March 24.
