New Delhi:
Welcome to the Barbie land, where everything is pink and vibrant and happy until it isn’t. In the main trailer of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, walking, talking Barbie doll Margot Robbie gives us a tour of her fabulous world where everything is picture-perfect – they are all playing and dancing around. “This is the best day ever. So was yesterday and so is tomorrow,” says Margot Robbie. Little does she know what life has in store for her. One fine day, she realizes that her heels are on the ground (just Barbie land problems). She is then given a choice – to go back to her regular life or know the truth about the universe – she picks the former (almost). After much ado, Barbie enters the real world with Ken (Ryan Gosling) by her side.
The real world is not how Barbie pictured it to be – stares from people, uncomfortable situations, punches, mugshots, dramatic chase sequences. To sum it up, it is going to be one helluva ride. The makers wrote in the trailer, “If you love Barbie, this movie is for you. If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you.”
