Last updated on July 25th, 2023 at 11:14 am

The Jubilee trailer shows a dazzling world where ambition and controversy lurk around every corner in Vikramaditya Motwane’s vast and stunning period drama.

Jubilee, directed by Vikramditya Motwane, has overtones of early Bollywood, particularly given its connection to Bombay Talkies and Devika Rani. The movie is set in 1947 in Bombay, where the newly independent country is enthralled by the movie stars. 

The proprietor of Roy Talkies is played by Prosenjit Chatterjee; his wife, Aditi Rao Hydari, is having an affair with Madan Kumar (Nandish Sandhu). 

The enraged studio boss orders Binod, played by Aparshakti Khurana, to return her boyfriend to him.

After a sequence of circumstances, Binod replaces Madan after the two of them are involved in a car accident, and he goes on to become a well-liked movie star. But, as he has little control over his life, Binod finally starts to feel the cost of fame.

Young musician Nilofer is portrayed by Wamiqa Gabbi in the movie, and Sidhant Gupta portrays promising director Jay Khanna, who aspires to collaborate with the legendary “Madan Kumar.”

As Madan and Jay’s champion, Ram Kapoor is also a member of the cast. The huge grandeur of the outstanding period play is evident in its production design and costumes.

Amit Trivedi, the series’ composer, can be seen alongside Aparshakti in one of the scenes, therefore it appears that some unique songs have also been written for the show.

Although the imaginary world of the budding film industry is presented in great detail, Aparshakti, Wamiqa, and Sidhant’s performances initially appear to be significant. 

Aditi’s character aims to expose her husband and Binod, who have covered up the actual Madan’s murder, in Jubilee’s plot, which also features its fair share of scandal.

Vikramaditya is the director of the ten-episode series. Along with co-creator Soumik Sen, he also created the program. 

The language and the screenplay were written by Atul Sabharwal. Vikramaditya had said in a statement that –

“Jubilee is a profoundly human story at its core, with narrative elements that will connect with everyone — which is what attracted me the first time around.” The series takes place in that renowned era of cinema.
