After Bagging Her 4th Best Actress Award, This is What Sargun Said When Asked About Her Bollywood Plans

While her last year’s superhit film Qismat got the Best Film Award in the PTC Film Awards’ “Critics” category, Sargun Mehta, herself bagged the Best Actress award for the same. Though this was her fourth ‘Best Actress’ award in a row yet this amazingly talented beauty gave all the credit for the award to the Punjabi audience.

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’.

Here Comes The Trailer of Manje Bistre 2 : Promises Double Fun In A Foreign Land!

The movie that started the trend of “wedding” based comedy flicks in Punjab, Manje Bistre (2017) has got its sequel ready for the release on April 12, just a day before Vaisakhi and here’s a good news for the fans! Manje Bistre 2’s trailer is out now promising double ‘masti’ in a foreign land!

With trailer releasing sharp at 9 AM as promised, Manje Bistre 2’s team has made the mornings of every ardent Punjabi cinema fans full of laughter. The trailer starts with the premise of a wedding in Canada wherein the hero of the film (Gippy Grewal) shows interest in doing every wedding preparation by “hands” including collecting and arranging beds and mattresses aka ‘Manje Bistre’.

[h4]Manje Bistre 2 Trailer [/h4]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcLtt3oiMe8

While on one side it’s amazing to see the camaraderie between Gippy Grewal and Jaggi Singh, on the other our ‘buzurg’ Karamjit Anmol once again goads us into loving this character! B.N. Sharma’s character, so far looks delightful and Simi looks fantastic in the cool summerish outfis. However, her Punjabi is quite chaste and we are not sure whether her character is residing in Canada or comes from India for a temporary stay in Canada. If she’s a Canadian resident, then her Punjabi should’ve had a bit of that Canadian twang. Isn’t it?

[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]

Nevertheless, the film that started the trend of wedding movies in Punjab has certainly doled out a strong and impressive trailer which is enough to build audiences’ hopes. Now what’s there to be seen is that will the film (Manje Bistre) that pioneered the trend of wedding movies in Punjab, live up to the expectations or will it suffer from the saturation that our audience has already started experiencing with marriage dramas?

Be it Laavan phere, Kaake da Vyah, Parahuna, Vadhayiyaan ji vadhayiyaan, Vekh Barataan Challiyan, Marriage Palace and so many more, almost every filmmaker is trying their hands at the tried-and-tested formula created by the team of Gippy and Manje Bistre. But will the formula work this time?

WE really hope so!

Manje Bistre 2 stars Gippy Grewal, Simi Chahal, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Karamjit Anmol, BN Sharma, Sardar Sohi, Hobby Dhaliwal and many more. This film is directed by Baljit Singh Deo and produced by Gippy Grewal.

BAND VAAJE Movie Review : Another Comedy Of Errors That’s Fortunately ‘Paisa Wasool’

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

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.

From romantic rhythms to folk beats, Jatinder Shah has given all the flavors in ‘Band Vaaje’ playlist

Music is an integral part of the film’s storyline. It not only gives the pace to the screenplay but also sets the mood by breaking the monotony. This is why the music director has a very crucial role in a movie’s production. One of the ace music directors of Punjabi cinema, Jatinder Shah has given some amazing music to the songs and films for more than a decade. This time along with directing the music, he is also producing an upcoming Punjabi film Band Vaaje.

The lead pair of the film is Binnu Dhillon and Mandy Takhar. Along with them, the film also stars Gurpreet Ghuggi, Jaswinder Bhalla, Smeep Kang, and Nirmal Rishi in important roles. Smeep Kang is the director of Band Vaaje and it is being produced by Jatinder Shah, Pooja Gujral, Atul Bhalla and Amit Bhalla. Vaibhav and Shreya have written the story of the film.

The filmmakers are releasing the songs one by one. The first song was titled ‘Neend Na Aave Mainu’, sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Gurshabad, has won immense love from the audience.

Now the second song of the film has released, and the title of the song is ‘Paise Sutne Tahan Nu’. The song has been sung by Golden Star of Punjab, Malkit Singh. The lyrics of the song have been written by Makhan Brar. Music to these two songs, as well as the other songs of the upcoming film, has been given by Jatinder Shah.

Talking about music of Band Vaaje, Jatinder Shah said “Music has always been very close to my heart. It is not just passion but something that mere words cannot define. So when it comes to music I forget about everything else. Similarly, when it came to giving music to the songs of Band Vaaje, I wanted the audience to feel every beat and rhythm of the song. Be it a romantic number or a beat number, I really want the audience to feel the music and enjoy it.”

What’s In Akshay Kumar’s Turban In ‘Kesari’ That Weighs 6 KG??

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.
