Let's just say it's so refreshing to see Syra Shahroz back onscreen.

Okay now back to the trailer.

What we love about the Chalay Thay Saath trailer is that -- unlike most destination-based films -- it veers away from eye-catching scenery to captivate the viewer and instead focuses on the characters and the storyline which keeps one hooked.

Unlike the teaser, the 2-minute trailer establishes the plot of the story without delving too much into details. It introduces the other characters and shows Resham (Syra Shahroz) fall for a Chinese traveller Adam (Kent S Leung) who crosses China’s border to come to Pakistan.

The two meet and are instantly drawn to each other. The trailer follows their relationship as it develops but things take a wrong turn after Resham's father (Behroz Sabzwari) is introduced into the picture who refuses to give his daughter to Adam without a challenge.

The trailer takes the viewer on a roller-coaster ride and honestly, leaves the viewer heartbroken by the end of it -- to top it off, it's a romantic-drama, inspired by true events.

The ensemble cast also includes Zhalay Sarhadi, Mansha Pasha, Osama Tahir, Faris Khalid, Shamim Hilaly and Sherbaz Kaleem.

"It's the first [Pakistani] film in collaboration with China, as in it highlights a very important link from China," Umer Adil had said at the trailer launch of his upcoming film.

Chalay Thay Saath looks promising and it's going down in our calendar as a must-watch. The film will hit screens on April 21.
