Saakini Daakini Trailer Out
Along with revealing the release date of the film, the makers also dropped its trailer. The 2-minute long trailer introduces two girls- Damini and Shalini, who are students in a Police academy, struggling to find their way in the men’s world.
As their journey begins in the academy, they end up busting a gang of human traffickers. Overall, the films look like full-fledged entertainers. While the character Shalini is a rebel and foodie, her fellow recruit Damini is a total neat freak because of her obsession- compulsive needs. The trailer also shows the protagonists performing some high-octane scenes.
