The almost one minute clip shows a snow-capped mountain road from a distance and a vehicle moving. The next shot shows the fresh-as-mint Aditi in a close-up. The last shot in a barren brown landscape with a distance and a lone figure walking across the frame with mountains serving as a natural backdrop.

The promo, called A Glimpse of Kaatru Veliyidai ends with a note that on Feb 2 the first single from the upcoming film will be unveiled.
