Do you like it?

There was nothing ordinary about the event where Dilwale's trailer was released. In fact it was nothing short of grand. Crowds of fans and media gathered in Mumbai and waited for hours for the cast and crew of the film to unveil the trailer.

The grandiose display of designer cars at the trailer launch may have won the hearts of many, but did the trailer live up to the hype?

Video: Is this really how SRK, Kajol's Dilwale will end?

The promo starts with SRK and Kajol posing in scenic locations and ends with Shah Rukh telling the love of his life (Kajol obviously) not to show her face to him again or he'll kill her.

The other couple, Varun and Kriti also share a complex equation. Varun plays SRK's younger brother, and it appears that during the course of the film he is made to choose between his brother and his lover (Kriti).

The series of events that follow in the trailer suggest that the film is packed with action and romance with a tinge of comedy to break free from the tension.

While the trailer doesn't shed much light on the storyline, the repetitive car and action scenes become predictable. However that hasn't stopped people from watching the highly anticipated film's trailer. In less than 12 hours, the trailer has already crossed a million views on YouTube.

SRK could hardly contain his excitement at the trailer launch. “Dilwale was a wonderful filmmaking experience and the results will show on screen. Never enjoyed myself more while shooting for a film, right from reuniting with Kajol after a long gap to shooting the heavy duty action sequences, it was all a delight. I'm glad to be sharing the trailer with you guys as it will give you a perfect taste of the fun family film that Rohit Shetty has made!" he said, according to a press release.

Watch: SRK and Kajol back as Raj and Simran!

It seems like fans are not the only ones who were excited about the DDLJ jodi coming together. Even Kajol and SRK were just as eager to work with each other after a long hiatus. “Dilwale is an extremely special film. Not only for what it offers but also because of the people I have worked with here. I had a great time working on the film, especially with Shah Rukh, as well as Rohit. I think everybody is gonna have a great time watching it as we had a great time making it,” said Kajol.

Varun Dhawan couldn't believe his luck and was ecstatic to have worked alongside King Khan and Kajol. “I have always been a big Rohit Shetty fan. But never did I expect to do a Rohit shetty film with Shah Rukh sir and Kajol ma'am. They are amazing actors and I'm the first from my generation to have worked with them. Dilwale is a coming together of all generations. It is the biggest family film ever made in Indian cinema, and I feel lucky to be a part of it,” he said.

Newcomer Kriti Sanon was just as thrilled and said, “I feel blessed to have gotten such a big opportunity so soon in my career. Now that we have put up the first look, I can't wait for the release of the film. It has been a great learning experience for me and I truly wish all our efforts pay off.”

#Dilwale Trailer is a spectacular fail. Typical Rohit Shetty. Not even a glimpse of the old SRK, SRK-Kajol or DDLJ #DilwaleTrailer
