In the newly unveiled trailer, viewers are introduced to the protagonist, portrayed by D'Cruz, who grapples with the harsh realities of societal expectations. As her family endeavours to find a suitable match for her, she faces rejection from potential suitors solely based on her appearance and skin tone. Her father's poignant lamentation underscores the profound impact of colourism on her fate, as he ruefully acknowledges that her destiny is bound by societal perceptions of beauty.

However, amidst the trials and tribulations, a glimmer of hope emerges when a family expresses a willingness to consider her as a potential bride. Yet, their demands for an exorbitant dowry pose a formidable obstacle, exacerbating the already precarious situation. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when the dowry is stolen, setting the stage for Randeep Hooda's entry as a police officer tasked with apprehending the culprits.

As Hooda's character delves deeper into the investigation, he finds himself captivated by the resilience and spirit of the film's leading lady, portrayed by D'Cruz. The trailer hints at a burgeoning romance amidst the backdrop of societal upheaval, offering a poignant exploration of love and societal norms.

While Tera Kya Hoga Lovely aims to shed light on pressing social issues, the casting of D'Cruz in a role depicting a dark-skinned woman has sparked debate. Some critics argue that casting an actor with the appropriate skin tone might have lent more authenticity to the portrayal, considering the film's thematic focus on fair skin obsession.

Nevertheless, the film's potential to resonate with audiences and spark meaningful conversations remains palpable. With its release scheduled for March 8, viewers eagerly anticipate witnessing the unfolding of this thought-provoking narrative.

In addition to Tera Kya Hoga Lovely, fans can anticipate D'Cruz's forthcoming project, Do Aur Do Pyaar. Scheduled for release on March 29, this highly anticipated film features a stellar cast including Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, promising audiences an immersive cinematic experience.
