Context
Why does this story matter?
Shetty was last seen in the Kannada drama Avane Srimannarayana, which was released in 2019. This film marks his return to the big screens after about two years. Also, 777 Charlie has been in the making since 2020. So, all eyes are on this film. And, it is an important one for the actor as his previous hit film was 2016's Kirik Party.
Trailer
What does the trailer show?
Dharma (Shetty) is introduced as a laid-back chap with no interest in life. All he cares about is his home, factory, fights, food, beer, and cigarettes. His neighbors despise him and call him "Hitler uncle." Later, we see Charlie (the dog), who somehow enters Dharma's life. In the beginning, Dharma seems to hate Charlie and tries to get rid of him.
Observation
It feels as if trailer revealed Charlie, Dharma's entire story
We then see Dharma meeting with an accident and Charlie following the ambulance all the way to the hospital. That's when Dharma starts connecting with him. He identifies Charlie as the only soul that cares about him. The trailer reveals the story with no scope for suspense. At one point, Charlie presumably goes missing. How Dharma finds him forms the rest of the plot.
Personal
Special mention: Trailer's final portion will win your heart
The canine steals our hearts toward the end. When Dharma asks Charlie how much he loves him, Charlie walks toward Dharma and embraces him. An emotional Dharma hugs him back uttering, "I love you too, Charlie." And, you too would want to hug Charlie tightly.
