Sarpanchi (2024)
Engaging & Entertaining
Wanted to watch this just because of Jass Bajwa and to see the rural Punjab/Pind life. But I was glued to the story right away. The authentic portrayal of the village life, and also showing how the politics works, how stoop one can go just to get votes and win, regardless of the consequences the voters and their family faces, such as their children falling victim to drugs, etc. Jass bai's performance is commendable. Sardar Sohi and Kuljinder Sidhu done justice to their antagonist roles.
To be honest, watching some their scenes and dialgoues made me mad when they fake to love and care for other people because all they actually care for are the votes.
Overall, a must must watch for everyone.
Asa Nu Maan Watna Da: In Search of Our Roots (2004)
Classic
One of my all time favorite movies, I have seen this movie more than 8-10 times and still I never get bored of watching it.
Huge respect and very thankful of Harbhajan Mann saab for reviving the dying Panjabi industry. His movies have realistic stories, family values, Panjabi culture, comedy, emotions, overall, a complete package.
First half shows the life in Canada and mindset (pov) of some Panjabi people living there, and how some people are still connected to their roots and how some prefer to be more Canadian just to be one of the people there.
Second half shows the life in Panjab, the conversation between the elder people of the Pind puts the truth out of how the young generations gets impacted by looking at the big and beautiful Kotthi (s) of the abroad-living Panjabi's and other issues.
This film and his other films are far better than the repeated/similar stories and comedy in movies today. I love watching new Panjabi films a lot, but if I have to compare current movies with these, then Maan Saab's movies a far better.
OVERALL, THIS FILM (including Harbhajan Mann saab's other films) IS A MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST WATCH FOR EVERYONE.
Aap Ki Kasam (1974)
Entertainment at Finest
One of the very best films. Few years back, when I started watching this film, I didn't find the beginning part exciting enough for me, so when I just decided to watch it last year, and loved the film.
Suspicion will destroy even the strongest and closest bonds of a person. I lost track of time while watching film and I was moved by the film, acting of the giants Rajesh Khanna and Sanjeev Kumar.
SRK and Salman's Hum tumare hain sanam is a remake of this film. I have seen that film, but I'll still put this film first and won't compare it with any.
This movie should be seen by everyone, especially married couples as the issue shown in it causes happy married lives to torn.
Teriya Meriya Hera Pheriyan (2024)
Entertaining
This film is really entertaining and worth watching. Clean story clean comedy, complete family film.
I enjoyed it so much that I watched it 2x in 2 days straight. One of the best Punjabi and best comedy films in recent times.
In some comedy scene where the lead hero is delivering his dialogues, you can clearly see reflection of Jaswinder Bhalla in it.
Wonder why BN Sharma and Ghuggi were not included in the film, they would've added more fun in the film.
Anyway, this film really entertaining and can be watched with kids and family, and you won't regret watching it.
Hope to see more comedy and entertaining Panjabi films like this in future.
Ujala (1959)
Beautiful Classic
Two Titans of the cinema, Shammi Kapoor and Raaj Kumar, for the first and last time, come together to create magic on screen.
Belonging to the golden period, the story shows how middle class or lower-class people struggle to find employment. Shammi saab played his role brilliantly, no fashionable or stylish character like he's popular for, but playing a poor person who's honest, hardworking, but unemployed.
Ends up joining Raaj Kumar who plays a negative role and then gets blamed for a murder which he didn't do.
Very beautiful story and whenever these two Titans come in a frame, it's magic and unmissable.
Shammi Kapoor's character shone equal to Raaj Kumar's, if not more.
Must Must watch film.
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)
One of the best and last in SRK romance genre
Love this film. Best example of One Sided Undying Unconditional Love. SRK doing everything and anything to win the love of his wife, to keep her happy, fulfill her wishes.
SRK's performance and Songs like Haule Haule and Tujh Mein RABB Dikhta Hai can melt anyone's heart.
Very simple and sweet story. The moments when SRK shares with his friend the feelings he has for his wife, all things he wants to say to her but is unable to, I could relate to this part. When you love someone but for some reason you cannot express it to that person is probably the most painful thing.
This film is a must must watch.
One of the best and last in SRK romance genre. After this, SRK did very few romantic films like Jab Tak Hai Jaan.
Dunki (2023)
Amazing film
I got to watch this film on big screen in theatre. It's a incomparable experience to watch SRK on big screen in theater. I really enjoyed this film. Didn't really liked SRK's clean shaved look, wish he had kept the style he used to have in early 2000s with clean shave. But anyway, that doesn't affect the performance of his.
One of the best performances of King Khan of the world. Really good story, Vicky's role was 2nd best in the film, after SRKs. Finally got to see 2 legends in 1 frame, I mean Gurpreet Ghuggi and SRK together.
Little comedy, little emotions, little drama, friendship bonds, SRK's undying love for the girl, the film Is a rollercoaster.
IGNORE the negative reviews, because this is one of the best films of King Khan. It's worth watching.
Jeevan Sangram (1974)
A Gem of Indian Cinema.
This film is a very rare and for unknown reason not remembered by people today. This film depicts the story of the courage and daring of indian revolutionaries during the British rule. Shashi Kapoor sahab is assigned with the task to prepare Indian soldiers for an armed uprising against foreign rulers. The film shows how the sacrifice of our freedom fighters ignited courage and dare in other people to stand up and fight for their rights.
This did lead to victory, in one way, because it also led to dividing our country, especially the beautiful state Panjab and millions lost their lives for the independence and during the partition.
Shashi Kapoor sahab is versatile actor and a blessing to indian cinema. This movie is a must watch for all. The movie shows a forgotten part of our history.
Aap Beati (1976)
Must watch
I like this film. One of my fav films because of Shashi Kapoor. He was at his prime and very stylish and handsome as always. His presence makes the film worth watching. Same goes to Ashok Kumar, Prem nath, asrani, & hema contributes to the film.
Shashi Kapoor's style, signature walk & smile is killer. Though the film is drama genre, and it's not one of my most fav genre but I'd watch any film, regardless of genre, that has Shashi Kapoor in it.
Prem nath's character is very sweet and very supportive and though he's often blamed for his actions his good human heart makes him always jump to help those in need.
Though the story has the common 70s story angle of rich & poor but it's still an entertaining film.
Rose Rosy Te Gulab (2024)
You shouldn't miss on this one
The moment the teaser and trailer came out, I knew I wanted to go watch it in theatre. I went with my family to watch it in the theater that was 50minutes drive from our place.
From beginning to end, not a single dull moment in the film. Very entertaining film with comedy, emotions, poetry, Pind life, love triangle. Everything in this movie is fabulous and worth watching.
After the film ended, everyone in my family praised the film and how much they enjoyed watching it on the big screen.
I even went to watch it again, second time, but alone this time. And I enjoyed it even more. Love the songs, Gurnam's acting.
This film is a complete package and a family entertainer.
Henna (1991)
A Gem by the Goat RAJ KAPOOR
This film is truly a gem of bollywood and indian cinema. Rishi Kapoor's romantic films are always a treat to watch, as well as his all other films. His presence in any film makes the film worth watching.
Before SRK and after Dev Anand, Rishi Kapoor is the king of romantic muscial films.
This one is sure a classic film and a must watch. Beautiful story, beautiful scenery, the innocence of the lead actress and the way they show the love blossoming is cute too.
The film is 3 hours long, and I guarantee you won't realize when the 3 hours went by. I just got lost in the film that I lost track of time.
All in All, a must must must must must watch film for everyone.
Love in Simla (1960)
Lightheart sweet story
Lighthearted sweet romantic movie. Love in Simla is sure a classic from the golden era of Bollywood. Sweet moments between Sadhana and Joy that shows how their friendship develops into love for each other.
I had skipped few moments in the film and finished the film in 2-3 different days. I regretted doing it when I finished the film, so I'm going to watch this again because towards the end of the film I felt like if I watch it in one sitting, I would enjoy the film even more than I did.
Overall, it's a must watch film for movie lovers. Black and white films have their own charm than the colored ones.
Jee Ve Sohneya Jee (2024)
A Classic
Midway watching this film I could tell in future this will be considered a classic film in Panjabi cinema. The vibe of this film is really good, sweet, funny, emotional, romantic family entertainer.
It kept giving me vibes of SRK classics like Veer Zaara, DDLJ, etc. Amrinder Gill's Lahoriye, etc.
The film as sweet moments between Simi and Imran, and Imran's friend's comic timing is really good in this film. Good concept, romance, destiny, dreams, fate.
I wanted to go watch this film in theatres when it released but for some reason it never worked out. Now watching this online, I kind of regret not watching this in theatre.
Overall, a family entertainment. Must watch.
Hamara Khandaan (1988)
Amazing love story.
Good love story. Rishi Kapoor still in his prime. One of the Best Rishi Kapoor films. I like the pair of Chintu ji (Rishi Kapoor ji) and Farah. That's why I watched this film.
I wasn't disappointed with the film. It was really good. Cute scenes between Rishi Ji and Farah were a treat to watch, in every film they did together.
Beautiful scenic places in the film. Little bit of social angle, in the beginning how they show the mindset of people towards having children.
Rishi Kapoor is one of my favorite legends of Indian cinema. He is one of the Greatest of All Time. He's the Dev Anand and SRK of 70s-2000s.
Overall, a must watch film, entertaining.
Naqab (1989)
One of the Best Rishi Kapoor films
One of the Best Rishi Kapoor films indeed. I like the pair of Chintu ji (Rishi Kapoor ji) and Farah. That's why I watched this film.
I wasn't disappointed with the film. It was really good. Cute scenes between Rishi Ji and Farah were a treat to watch, in every film they did together.
I have seen Woh Kaun Thi (and it's a must watch film, a classic), the film that inspired this one, but it's not a remake. Some things were similar, and some were different.
Rishi Kapoor is one of my favorite legends of Indian cinema. It would've been little more enjoyable if the villain this film was someone like Pran, Prem Chopra, Amrish Puri, Gulshan Grover, etc. Then it would've been more fun because these legends are the masters of evilness.
Overall, a must watch film, entertaining.
Yeh Vaada Raha (1982)
Classic
Rishi Kapoor is the SRK & Dev Anand of 70s-2000s, playing Loverboy (romantic) roles.
Classic film. Good story, the cast, songs, everything in this film is really good. At first I didn't wanted to watch this movie because it had Shammi Kappor playing elder role, because I like watching movies of his hero days.
But still, one day I did, and I wasn't disappointed, neither by the film nor by Shammi Kapoor's role. It's a treat to watch the film.
The peak and prime of Rishi Kapoor as main lead, as well as peak of Shammi Kapoor's second innings, playing character roles now.
The song Tu Hai Wahi is really good, and it's picturisation.
Overall, the film is a must watch for fans of Rishi Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, movie lovers, good-old era, and every movie lover.
Saajan Ki Baahon Mein (1995)
Enjoyable/Entertainin
I wasn't disappointed with the film at all. I like watching Rishi Kapoor movies, especially where he plays the romantic hero, the image he's popular for, just like SRK.
The scenic locations, RK's songs, the pairing of Rishi Kapoor and Raveena Tandon, the story, everything in the film was good and enjoyable. The film had no unnecessary scenes or side/subplots that is quite common in some of old movies.
One thing I didn't liked was the action sequence in the end, I was hoping for more of dialogue delivery by the characters or little bit of comedy like Govinda did it in his Dulhe Raja film.
But in the end, the film is a good watch, enjoyable.
Parinda Paar Geyaa (2023)
Superstar Gurnam Bhullar
Different concept. This film is different from the usual Panjabi films which are usually comedy films. This film has romantic angle, drama, turning dreams into reality no matter the rejections, tough times life throws at you.
Gurnam Bhullar is a fantastic actor. I loved his story, childhood flashbacks, falling in love, facing struggle, keeping his self-respect, heartbreaks. The emotional scenes of Gurnam Bhullar with his mom & JD are the best in the whole film.
The concept can be inspired by RK's rockstar film, so what, it's not a complete copy of it.
It's a different concept in PANJABI Industry, and it should be supported. Gurnam Bhullar is doing good experiments with films he has done like Lekh, Kokka, Surkhi Bindi, and now this.
Vich Bolunga Tere (2022)
Entertaining
This film is really a fun watch with the family. It has comedy, ghost, and little drama+romance ingredients adding to the overall entertainment.
Punjabi Cinema is really improving, be it different story concepts/content, vfx, keeping the family comedy legacy continued.
This film is perfect to watch with family, I guarantee you're going to have a fun time watching this.
I think Ravinder Grewal is an underated actor, but you should watch some of his recent films, including this one. He deserves more and more good roles and films like this one. He should also be in the list of A-Grade actor/entertainers like Gippy, Diljit, Amrinder Gill, Ammy Virk. He deserves it.
Annhi Dea Mazaak Ae (2023)
Entertainement Full On
Entertainement FUll On indeed. I watched this fun film yesterday with my family and had a blast watching it. Another PANJABI film with complete package, action, drama, romance, and comedy.
I loved the bond between Ammy and his sister in the film. The chemistry between Ammy and Nasir ji is a treat to watch. Their acting is on the spot.
Seeing Ammy portray a blind man with his eyes open reminded me of Dilip Kumar Saab's performance from his classic film Deedar, where he played a blind man too.
Any way, this film is a perfect choice if you guys want to have laughter and forget the real life struggles for sva2 hours.
Jag Jeondeyan De Mele (2009)
One more Harbhajan Mann Masterpiece
One more Harbhajan Mann Masterpiece indeed. Beautiful Beautiful story. There couldn't have been a better title for this film. One of Maan Saab's iconic and legendary song is also called Jag Jeondeyan De Mele, which came almost 2 decades before the film.
People make jokes on HM doing same thing in early films (going to canada or coming from Canada/America), the fact that HM and these films revived Punjabi industry and Punjabi Film industry is where it is today because HM and his films, and this fact in undeniable.
About the film, the film is really beautiful, lovers can never be separated, what is meant to be yours, WILL BE yours no matter what.
There is a dialogue in the movie, "eh Jag tan Jeondeyan De Mele ne yaara, dargah'in jaa ke kon milda.. eh kis ne vekhya?"
The film is a MUST MUST MUST watch.
Gadaar: The Traitor (2015)
First Thriller of Punjabi Cinema
Gadaar the Traitor is really great watch. Different concept, different genre (first time in Punjabi cinema), different avtar of Maan Saab. I've seen this film 4 times and will definitely watch it again.
Maan Saab really proved his versatility as an actor. The story is good too, showing the situation in Punjab after the 84 and how the corrupt law destroyed many families and youngster, and then the 2k10s, where a changed and now powerful Jai Singh (HM) returns to his motherland to face his nightmares and get his revenge.
I'd recommend everyone to watch this film. Although the story could've been a bit more intense (by the writer) but still overall is a great watch.
Naina (1973)
Charming Shashi Kapoor & Cute Moushumi
This film is one of my favorite film's of the Great Shashi Kapoor sahab. Mainly because he's in the film, his pairing with cute Moushumi chatterji, the story is good, etc.
Probably the only film in which we get to see two different hair styles of Shashi Kapoor (because it was shot at different times before the genre and story of the film changed later on).
Moushumi is really a talented actress and undoubtedly one of the most cutest ever in the Indian Cinema history. Same goes for the Great Shashi Kapoor, one of the most handsome ever.
Overall, the film is a good watch, enjoyable, clean family film. A Shashi Kapoor film.
Professor (1962)
Another Shammi Kapoor Entertainer.
Another Shammi Kapoor Entertainer. Indeed it is, just like his many other complete entertainers like Kashmir Ki Kali, Teesri Manzil, 3D, Junglee.
The film has a dramatic start but soon, within first 20-25 minutes, the mood changes from drama to comedy and then to romance.
I even had paused the film one day within 10 minutes because of its dramatic start, but few days later, I decided to watch it. And I was not disappointed at all when the film ended. It's a complete package - romance, drama, comedy, music, Shammi-Rafi duo, chemistry between the main leads.
It's sure a must-must-must watch film. I recommend.
Ram Aur Shyam (1967)
One more DILIP KUMAR CLASSIC
One more Dilip Kumar classic indeed. To be honest, when I watched the film for the first time, the first couple minutes were dramatic, to build up for the story. But I was glued to the tv and watched the film all the way. This film has got comedy scenes, drama scenes, action scenes, especially the one where Dilip Kumar retaliates by hitting Pran with a whip.
A special thing to note is the contrast in the character and personality of Ram and Shyam. Both portrayed by Dilip Kumar but still look at the differences in both. Ram is shy and scared of his brother in law, where on the other hand Shyam is brave and mischievous.
-- special note -- To see the Dilip Saab's level of unique acting is a scene where Shyam pretends to be Ram in front of Ram's brother in law (Pran) and tries to act like he's afraid of Pran, like the way Ram is painfully scared of, but still can't completely do it. Even though both Ram and Shyam are portrayed by Dilip Kumar. You get what I'm trying to say right.
This isn't the first time Dilip Kumar has done comedy, check his films like Azaad, Kohinoor, and even Babul, the earliest example of his career. The mirror scene in Kohinoor. The sweet-funny scenes between Dilip saab and Nargis and a scene between Dilip Kumar and TunTun in Babul.
This is probably the first and so far only film in my life that I watched twice again, after watching for the first time, in the same year.
