The makers of Love & War unveiled Alia Bhatt's poster earlier today, and it takes us back in time. The poster features Alia Bhatt in a retro-glam avatar, dressed in a red sequin co-ords set with a dramatic feather accessory in her hair.
However, the internet seems divided, as many users compared Alia Bhatt's look with that of Kiara Advani in Toxic, while others felt the overall vibe of the poster echoed Bombay Velvet.
Internet Reactions
One user wrote, "Lo bhai ab Toxic 2 bhi aa gayi."
Another person commented, "This poster is giving me vibes of Kiara's poster from Toxic, am I right?"
Someone else said, "Mujhe kyun Bombay Velvet ki feeling aa rahi hai...."
"Toxic wali feeling aa rahi hai," added another.
Other comments read, "Toxic jaisa lag raha hai" and "Why the hell am I getting Bombay Velvet vibes...Please Mr Bhansali, don't let us go through that same suffering. We have big hopes from you."
However, some fans praised the poster too.
One user wrote, "The life of a showgirl."
"Cannot wait to see you slay another character! We are so ready for it!" added another.
"Goosebumps! This look is everything," wrote someone else.
