In one of the frames, John says, ‘When a soldier kills another soldier, it’s a national matter, but when a terrorist kills an innocent, then it becomes personal’. Another dialogue is, ‘No one will take India seriously until the hands that planted the bomb are chopped off’.  The trailer has received a positive response from the audience.
