John Abraham as Vir is a vigilante, who hunts down and eliminates corrupt public servants. He sets fire to petrol pumps, uses sheer force to burst out of a tire that imprisons his arms, and is determined to fight for the truth to triumph over lies. He warns the scum, “I will make your death such that you burn in this lifetime but feel the pain in your next life as well.” Oh yes, and he also believes in women empowerment.

Towards the end of the trailer, he urges a female character to rain blows on a lowlife. “Hit him,” he advises, “Hit him! Show how strong a woman can be. Now not one man will taunt someone saying, ‘Are you a girl?’”

This line resonates with the #LikeAGirl campaign, which had been hailed for breaking stereotypes and empowering women. Initially launched in June 2014, the P&G brand had unveiled a three-minute video that featured men and women who were asked to do things “like a girl.” The short film quickly showed viewers that “like a girl” is often taken as insult, as many of the men and women in the video giggled, flipped their hair and flailed their arms around when they were asked to run, throw and fight like a girl.

Yet when young girls themselves were asked to run, fight and throw like a girl, the results were drastically different. When one little girl was asked what it meant to run like a girl, she responded by saying “It means run as fast as you can.” This prompted the question: When did doing something “like a girl” become an insult?

The hunky, impressive John Abraham drives home the point powerfully as he states, “Maar, maar… duniya ka koi bho mard taana nahin marega ki tune choodiyan pehni hai kya?”
The girl proceeds to repeatedly slap the perpetrator with force and intensity. Just #LikeAGirl!
