Jinde Meriye, directed by and produced by Pankaj Batra, starring Sonam Bajwa and Parmish Verma released on 24th Jan. Whether the magic of Sonam and Parmish’s chemistry works this time or not, let’s find out! 

 

Synopsis and Plot Summary of Jinde Meriye

Yaadi (Parmish Verma) is a jovial guy and Rehmat (Sonam Bajwa) is a sensible girl. Both are childhood friends who turned fall in love and want to get married, but Rehmat`s family is against the decision as Yaadi carries a careless attitude towards his future. To get Rehmat, Yaadi must stand on his own and have a prosperous career. However, Yaadi chooses an illegal way to be successful, which infuriates Rehmat, making her leave Yaadi forever. Will Yaadi be able to win Rehmat back?

Review:

Jinde Meriye can best be described as a pretty average movie that tries to do many things at the same time. This is of course one romantic film wherein the female lead completely overshadows the male lead. 

In front of the seasoned and very talented actress Sonam Bajwa, Parmish Verma seems to be clearly struggling, which is primarily the reason that despite a decent story and direction, the film comes out pretty flat on the big screen. 

One of the best things that works in Jinde Meriye’s favour is its music. Almost all the songs are good and align perfectly with the theme of the movie. 

However, one really wonders what has gone wrong with Pankaj Batra’s direction now. The one who gave us iconic films like Bambukat and Sajjan Singh Rangroot, seems to be not really in the form ever since he took up production. 

Be it High End Yaarian or Jinde Meriye, none of his films have impressed in the recent past. 

Although Parmish has clearly improved from his Singham blunder, but the singer has a long way to go to still to becoming a complete actor. 

Our rating: 2.5/5

New Punjabi movie for 2020 titled Main Viyah Nahi Karona Tere Naal starring Gurnam Bhullar has been announced today. Interestingly, Gurnam Bhullar will also be producing this film! 

 

These days it is a trend to make the announcement of a movie months and sometimes years before its release. Punjabi cinema is no different. Now Gurnam Bhullar, a talented and popular Punjabi singer and actor has announced his first production venture, a Punjabi movie titled Main Viyah Nahi Karona Tere Naal. 

Gurnam Bhullar had made his acting debut this year only. He starred in a film called Guddiyan Patole, which was a female-driven film and so understandably, it was a bit challenging for Gurnam Bhullar, as a newcomer to make his mark in it. Yet, even opposite a seasoned actress like Sonam Bajwa, Gurnam was able to make quite a good impression. 

Few months later, in August 2019, Gurnam Bhullar acted opposite another top heroine – Sargun Mehta – in a film called Surkhi Bindi, which managed to do average business at the box-office. 

Now while several of his movies (as an actor) are on floor or pre-announced, Gurnam Bhullar has made no delay in announcing his production venture also. The name of his production house is called Diamond Star Worldwide Movies.

The movie name ‘Main Viyah Nahi Karona Tere Naal’ of a Punjabi movie automatically gives a suggestion of it being a wedding comedy. Let’s see whether the formula of wedding comedies which quite rocked in 2018/2019 will work in 2020 as well or not.

Earlier in the year 2019, Ammy Virk had made an announcement via his Instagram account that the work on Qismat 2 – the sequel of his highly successful movie with Sargun Mehta has begun. However, now there’s a bittersweet piece of news for the fans of Qismat – that had broken all records in Punjabi cinema in 2018. 

While it’s common in Punjabi cinema to hear about the change of release dates of various movies, but it’s a little uncommon to see the producers changing the titles of their films especially when it comes to sequels. 

The name of the a superhit film generally helps a lot in adding the ‘brand value’ to it and a lot of filmmakers achieve success by using this brand name even though sometimes, the movie has no meat in it except the big brand name. Take for example, a franchise like Dabangg or in our very own Punjab, Jatt and Juliet, Sardaarji or Carry on Jatt series. Even if the sequels are not as good in their content value as their Original versions, the movie still ends up recovering its cost owing to its brand value. 

Anyways, one such movie that almost became a ‘Brand’ in Punjabi cinema last year was Qismat starring Sargun Mehta and Ammy Virk. The movie was loved by both critics and masses alike and emerged as the highest grosser in Punjabi cinema at that time i.e. 2018. The ‘jodi’ of Sargun and Ammy received equal appreciation from all corners and even Tania, another actress of the movie, bagged many good offers after Qismat’s success. 

Earlier in this year, Ammy Virk and Jagdeep Sidhu, the director of Qismat had announced that they had begun work on Qismat 2. Even Sargun Mehta hinted on the same. But today an announcement by both the lead male actor and the captain of the ship on their respective Instagram profiles, has confused the audience quite a bit. 

While sharing a picture, Ammy Virk wrote, “Qismat, Sufna ton baad Lekh’ and mentioned the release date of the latter as 18th September 2020, which is the same date, when the actor-director duo had announced the release of Qismat 2. Not only this, both Ammy and Jagdeep tagged Sargun Mehta in this post. 

So considering the above information, it is almost clear that Qismat 2 will not happen. In fact, instead of using Qismat brand name, the team has decided to give a new name to the film in this series.

Lekh will release on 18th September 2020. 

Also, perhaps they are projecting ‘Sufna’ also a part of this series. 

Sufna, a film releasing on Valentine’s Day i..e.  14th February 2020 stars Ammy Virk and another Qismat girl, Tania in the lead roles. This film is also being directed by Jagdeep Sidhu. 

However, the producers of Sufna are not same as Qismat’s. While Qismat was produced by Shri Narottam Ji Productions, Sufna is bankrolled by Panj Paani Films. 

Now we wonder who will be producing ‘Lekh’? Will it be Sh Narottam Ji Productions or Panj Paani Films or Ammy Virk’s own production house or some other producer? 

This is something that we’ll have to wait a bit for as even Ammy didn’t reveal this part of the film in his today’s post.
