A strong performer, an endearing woman, an impressive director, immaculate producer, a supportive sister and a catty wife! Oops, can you relate Neeru Bajwa – the Queen of Punjabi Cinema to such an image?
A strong performer, an endearing woman, an impressive director, immaculate producer, a supportive sister and a catty wife! Oops, can you relate Neeru Bajwa – the Queen of Punjabi Cinema to such an image?
Well, recently Neeru took to Instagram to share an image along with his handsome husband, Harry Jawandha while holding a knife in her hand. Giving a sly smile, Neeru looks into the camera with an air of an angry yet loving wife at the sametime.
Neeru Bajwa captioned the image as, “Sometimes all wives have this feeling … ????… but I love you to death !!!!”.
Doesn’t this image tell the story of every Indian wife?
Have a look at the image here:
On the work front, Neeru Bajwa has just finished shooting “Munda Hi Chahida” as a producer. As a heroine, she’ll be next seen in Punjabi movie – Shadaa – releasing on 21st June.

Talking about the award, Sargun candidly said, “I always say that Punjabi audience has always respected me and praised me for my work in films. I am so thankful to the audience. Today, whatever I have achieved is because of them.”
She further talked about her plans for Bollywood, “No, I’ve no plans yet. I do what I feel is the best for me. I do get offers from Bollywood, TV and Pollywood, but I always give preference to the script.
Earlier, Sargun Mehta bagged the Best Actress for the films ‘Angrej’, ‘Love Punjab’ and ‘Lahoriye’.

[h4] Manje Bistre : The film that started the trend of wedding movies in Punjab has certainly doled out a strong and impressive trailer of its second installment, which is enough to build audiences’ hopes. [/h4]
Our rating: 3/5
What can be termed as a “typical” Smeep Kang kind of cinema – a mix of comedy of errors with some elements of underwhelming romance sprinkled here and there, BAND VAAJE – the second outing of ‘Shah n Shah’ Films (with A&A Advisors) is a decent weekend getaway from the humdrum of daily life.
Our rating: 3/5
What can be termed as a “typical” Smeep Kang kind of cinema – a mix of comedy of errors with some elements of underwhelming romance sprinkled here and there, BAND VAAJE – the second outing of ‘Shah n Shah’ Films (with A&A Advisors) is a decent weekend getaway from the humdrum of daily life.
As is evident from the trailer, this Binnu Dhillon and Mandy Takhar starrer is about a Pakistani girl who our hero falls crazily in love with (So crazily that he even chooses to work as a servant at the girl’s house) but when he eventually learns about her real nationality, he’s left in a Catch 22 situation. Neither can he live without the love of his life nor can he let down her grandmother (Nirmal Rishi) and brother (Smeep Kang), who are hell bent on marrying an Indian girl only.
Without going much into the plot, it can be safely said that Band Vaaje has certainly some moments that will make you laugh hysterically – thanks to the perfect comic timing of Binnu Dhillon and Jaswinder Bhalla. Even Gurpreet Ghuggi, who plays the part of Inder (Binnu Dhillon’s) friend has worked amazingly in the film with whatever little role he was given. His accented Punjabi once again reminds us of his Munde UK De act. No matter which frame he is in, one is bound to giggle for sure.
One scene wherein Ghuggi and Binnu become the victims of electric shock is hilarious owing to the wonderful play of comedy by both even though the scene was perfectly illogical. In fact there are many illogical scenes in the film but hey, who asked us to bring our brains inside the theatre?
The dog biting scene is perfectly executed and Binnu, once again deserves full marks here.
Talking about Mandy Takhar, although she looks ethereally beautiful in the traditional outfits (especially the yellow Kameez and Sharara), she certainly doesn’t at all appear like a college girl who is interested in studying for her exams (as was mentioned in the initial part of the film). Nevertheless, Mandy adds chutzpah with her charm in an otherwise male-dominated film. She’s decent and manages to grip our attention in whichever frame she appears.
The downside of the film has to be its meaningless storyline. The fact that the girl is from Pakistan isn’t given any serious focus. Could it be that the film got edited a bit due to the current Indo-Pak crisis at the border?
Another area where the film drops is the use of high-pitched dialogues by the actors when there was no need of it.
Shifting our focus to the cinematography and music, I thank Jatinder Shah for rendering a beautiful number like ‘Neend Na Aave’ and also, to the director for not filling the film with a lot of unnecessary songs just because the producer is a music director.
The aerial shots of the foregin country are gorgeous.
Overall, Band Vaaje is a perfect weekend getaway kind of a film which you won’t be disappointed watching with your family at all.

Akshay Kumar’s ‘Kesari’ based on the battle of Saragarthi is making a lot of noise these days owing to its magnanimous trailer and the humongous response it has got till now.
Akshay Kumar’s ‘Kesari’ based on the battle of Saragarthi is making a lot of noise these days owing to its magnanimous trailer and the humongous response it has got till now.
However, a lot of people, who’re not much aware of the Sikh history, are wondering about the reason for so much weight of Akshay Kumar’s turban which, according to sources, weighs about 6 Kg!
In an interview Kesari’s costume designer Sheetal Sharma was quoted to be saying that “This turban was tied using 18-metre-long cloth. It’s a special turban. It was quite robust and protected the head of Ishar Singh during wars. It acts like a helmet as even a bullet cannot pass through it.”
[h4] It’s a special turban. It was quite robust and protected the head of Ishar Singh during wars. It acts like a helmet as even a bullet cannot pass through it.[/h4]
Further she said that what added to the weight of turban is water and a metal ring. “We shot the film in Wai, Maharashtra, and the heat was intense. So, we used to spray water on the turban to keep it cool. That apart, if you see the picture, his turban has a metal ring. It’s called a chakra, which holds the turban in place. Also, it acts like a weapon during crisis situation. The edges of the ring are so sharp that it can cut someone’s wrist or stomach,” she added.
Sheetal also said that once, Akshay made the entire crew to wear the turban as he wanted everyone to understand how the soldiers fought wearing such a huge and heavy headgear. “During action scenes where Akshay had to jump, slide, etc, he found it difficult to shoot wearing the turban, but ultimately he did it,” Sheetal added.
