From the trailer, one can guess that Guddiyan Patole’s story revolves around two Canada-returned girls, Sonam Bajwa and Tania who meet their grandmother (Nirmal Rishi) in Punjab. Also, while the girls are winning the heart of their granny, Gurnam Bhullar develops soft feelings for the girls.

Though the main lead are Sonam Bajwa and Gurnam Bhullar yet one can guage from the trailer that the film might present a triangular love story. Releasing on 8th March, Guddiyan Patole is penned by Jagdeep Sidhu and directed by Vijay Kumar Arora. It’s bankrolled by Bhagwant Virk and Nav Virk.
On 14th February more than 40 CRPF Jawans lost their lives to a dastardly attack by terrorists in J&K’s Pulwama district. The same morning, Binnu Dhillon and Sargun Mehta’s much-awaited film ‘Kala Shah Kala’ released worldwide to an amazing response.
On 14th February more than 40 CRPF Jawans lost their lives to a dastardly attack by terrorists in J&K’s Pulwama district. The same morning, Binnu Dhillon and Sargun Mehta’s much-awaited film ‘Kala Shah Kala’ released worldwide to an amazing response.
While the film easily crossed more than 1 crore at the box office on the first day itself, but Binnu Dhillon and Sargun Mehta, the lead pair of the movie, decided to stop talking about their film from next day itself. When a movie gets released so many actors usually put up pictures of their fans with tickets, keep talking about how successfull the movie is running, posting the dialogue promos, songs, posters and so much more. It’s the first three days after the release of the film that determine the overall business the movie would end up doing but Binnu Dhillon startled everyone by discontinuing the movie-talk and posting a video of his expressing extreme grief for the martyred soldiers.
Sargun Mehta too expressed her grief through social media, and not only this, she and her husband Ravi Dubey even donated a sum of Rs 3 lakh to the martyrs’ families.
Nevertheless, Kala Shah Kala is doing extremely great business at the box office. Public is thronging at the theatres through just word-of-mouth! That’s the power of great content.
See below the posts by Binnu Dhillon and Sargun Mehta
They say few things are fixed in the stars – one’s birth, one’s death and one’s marriage. When stars decide something, it’s bound to happen. Something like this happens in the life of Lovely, a dusky guy who is constantly ridiculed because of his complexion! Let alone the society, even his own family members don’t leave any opportunity to make fun of his, and as a result, a notion is permanently ingrained into his subconscious mind that he is less worthy than others as far as his chances of finding a life partner are concerned. His confidence is low, but this guy has a soft and kind heart and even better mind.

His confidence is low, but this guy has a soft and kind heart and even better mind.
Not once or twice but many many times, poor Lovely gets rejected by girls and their families because of his dark complexion. The guy doesn’t lose heart, goes to tie a ‘dhaga’ (a ritual to make your request heard by the Almighty) and there he ends up falling in love with a girl, who’s in total contrast of his complexion. Not only this, the girl is already in love with another guy (Jordan Sandhu) who’s much fairer than our Lovely. However, as destiny would have it, somehow, owing to some special case of circumstances, much to Pammi’s chagrin, she ends up getting married to Lovely. From there on, ensues a series of several situations – some of them totally shocking (Pammi’s Suhaag Raat Avatar) while some of them fairly predictable but fun nevertheless.
[h4]Sargun, who apart from looking ethereal in gorgeous Punjabi suits and phulkari dupattas, raises the film to an all-new high with her chutzpah.[/h4]
Film’s first half is really entertaining especially after the entry of Sargun, who apart from looking ethereal in gorgeous Punjabi suits and phulkari dupattas, raises the film to an all-new high with her chutzpah, endearing expressions and unique voice. On one side, her cute chemistry with her best pal, Taaro (Shehnaz Gill) goads one into giggles, on the other Lovely’s attempts to look a shade lighter than jet black with his barber friend add up to the laughter quotient.
The second half which mainly features the post-marriage sequences hasn’t much to offer in terms of storyline as more than 80% of it revolves around just Pal’s wedding preparations, where Pal is hardly visible. A series of repetitive tasks involving Jaggi (Jordan Sandhu) occupy much of the screen space, sending pangs of jealously in Lovely but not adding much to the screenplay. This is where the film drags a bit as there’s not much for the actors to do either apart from giving each other the “looks”.
[h4]The scene wherein Lovely cries while hugging the restaurant guy is probably one of the best in the movie and proves once again, what a terrific actor Binnu Dhillon is.[/h4]
However, thanks to the terrific acting by the lead pair – Sargun and Binnu – that the movie gets saved from faltering. One enjoys just looking at their facial expressions even when there’s not much happening in the screenplay otherwise. The songs are pretty nice and capable of sending one to an emotional zone. The scene wherein Lovely cries while hugging the restaurant guy is probably one of the best in the movie and proves once again, what a terrific actor Binnu Dhillon is.
If the film suffers a bit owing to its dragged screenplay in the 2nd half, it is brilliantly redeemed by the climax, which appears strangely fresh despite being similar to the likes of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam or even DDLJ. All the dialogues in the climax scene are thoughtfully written as well. The whole railway station scene is going to make you emotional and you might come out of the cinema hall with moist eyes!
Apart from Binnu Dhillon and Sargun Mehta, all the performances are top-notch. Surprisingly, Shehnaz Gill who makes her acting debut with Kala Shah Kala, manages to make a strong impression with her bubbly acting. Veterans like B.N. Sharma and Nirmal Rishi are once again amazing. Jordan Sandhu should’ve been given something better to do than just serving tea and carrying buckets of food items. Karamjit Anmol and Harby Sangha are first-rate.
Overall, Kala Shah Kala is a complete family movie that other than entertaining you, shall also leave you emotional and perhaps, make you ponder about one issue which has been plaguing our society for ages – that of judging one’s value through one’s colour! A film, which is bound to set the cash registers ringing at the box office, Kala Shah Kala is a winner all the way.

All set with his upcoming Punjabi movie ‘Sucha Soorma’, Babbu Mann’s pictures from the shoot of this film are going viral on the internet.
The shoot of ‘Sucha Soorma’ is being held in Suratgarh (Rajasthan) and interestingly, it also is starring veteran singer/actor Sarabjeet Cheema in it. The release date of ‘Sucha Soorma’ hasn’t been announced as yet. See the pictures below:

He was convicted of murdering his sister-in-law, her lover, and seven others. His victims included Balbiro Kaur Jawanda and Khukkar Mall Chahal, who were both lovers. He was later captured after an extensive manhunt and sent to be hung to death on the gallows.
Last seen in Banjara, Babbu Mann is a big name in Punjab owing to his amazing singing and writing talent. Enjoy huge fan base both in Punjab and abroad, the singer turned actor always manages to create buzz with whatever new project he comes up with.
Kala Shah Kala, starring Binnu Dhillon, Sargun Mehta and Jordan Sandhu in pivotal roles is all set to release on this Valentine’s Day (14th Feb). While the film promises loads of laughter with elements of romance sprinkled over it, this film carries an important social message too.

Kala Shah Kala is based on a guy who’s socially considered not really upto the mark, as far as his looks are concerned. With our society obsessed with fair skin, this guy (Lovely, played by Binnu Dhillon) has quite a dark complexion (hence the name of the film – Kala Shah Kala), because of which women don’t find him attractive and everyone keeps ridiculing him. This is the reason that he suffers from low confidence.
When we asked Sargun Mehta in our interview with her whether she faced any such issue in her life, which was beyond her control and people ridiculed her for. She said boldly that though the particular issue didn’t affect her confidence in herself, yet she became a point of ridicule for many. She said, that due to her habit of speaking at a loud pitch, her vocal chords had got disturbed and her voice became very husky and man-like.
“Doctors even suggested me surgery and my Mom did her level best to prevent me from speaking too loud. It is only after I joined theatre and did a variety of vocal exercises that my voice became somewhat normal,” she says while smiling all the way.
Well, Sargun we’re glad that you worked hard on your unique voice and accepted it wholeheartedly. Today, your unique voice has become one of the reasons for your massive fan following besides of course, your gorgeous looks and acting talent.
I’ve been a fan of Ksshitij Chaudhary and Naresh Kathooria – the famous director-writer duo of Punjabi cinema since Jatts in Golmaal (2013) days. Together these two makers have given us superhit comic films like Mr and Mrs 420 series and Vekh Barataan Challiyaan and had established themselves as two of the best creative personalities of Punjabi cinema that specialize in giving laughter riots.
UDA AIDA: A cinematic tour-de-force
I’ve been a fan of Ksshitij Chaudhary and Naresh Kathooria – the famous director-writer duo of Punjabi cinema since Jatts in Golmaal (2013) days. Together these two makers have given us superhit comic films like Mr and Mrs 420 series and Vekh Barataan Challiyaan and had established themselves as two of the best creative personalities of Punjabi cinema that specialize in giving laughter riots.
However, after watching UDA AIDA, my opinion about them has drastically changed! The ones I perceived as being the experts in churning out comic capers one after another, have taken the whole industry by storm by delivering a film that’s likely to be remembered as one of the best films ever made in the history of Punjabi cinema. A masterpiece, a timeless classic, UDA AIDA shall be remembered forever!
A film based on the gradual extinction of Punjabi language from schools and the humiliation one has to go through if one doesn’t know “English” despite their otherwise meritorious distinctions, UDA AIDA showcases the reality of today’s Punjabi generation, their parents and society as a whole. The best part is that it is written in such a mature manner that nowhere does one feel that the film is exaggerating the reality in any way. Nowhere do you feel that the film is unnecessarily trying to assert the importance of Punjabi, or emotionally blackmailing you to feel guilty. The director has handled the subject judiciously, and has nowhere taken any kind of meaningless creative liberties to emphasize his vision. Only a director of the caliber of Ksshitij Chaudhary can accomplish such feat so brilliantly, supported so well by Naresh Kathooria – the writer and one of the producers as well.
Without talking much about the plot, UDA AIDA is a film which doesn’t have your typical ‘hero or heroine’. It is a story of one family and hats off to actors like Neeru Bajwa and Tarsem Jassar for playing the role of parents of about a 10-year-old kid with such elan! The helplessness seen on Neeru and Tarsem’s faces, their faces filled with humiliation when confronted by unforgiving school authorities, the dream in their eyes for their only child, the exhilaration that they experience when their child gets admitted to the school of the mother’s choice after all the struggles – all speak volumes about the massive talent that these two possess. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Neeru displayed a performance of a lifetime with UDA AIDA and she also gave a tight slap to those who make fun of her accented dialogues. Perhaps, one needs a director like Chaudhary to extract such brilliance from their actors.
After Neeru and Tarsem’s chemistry, another one worth mentioning is the one shared between B.N. Sharma and Gurpreet Ghuggi. They make you laugh with their close-to-reality dialogues, nothing slapstick and loud, only situational! I am sure the duo would’ve loved to do something different in this film.
Special mention to all the kids – especially the lead ‘Aman’ (Ansh), who one can’t stop applauding for when he experiences sadness and guilt. Equal praise for the kid who plays his cousin back in village!
Anything worth improving?
I didn’t quite like Poppy Jabbal’s character. While other school staff wore school uniform, she looked as if she had come to a fashion parade – seen wearing minis and jumpsuits mostly, and speaking in English even to villagers, who she knows well are not able to understand her.
Finally, a standing ovation to the producers – Rrupaali Gupta of Friday Russh Motion Pictures, (includes Naresh Kathooria and Ksshitij Chaudhary too) for attempting such a meaningful subject in such a terrific way onscreen. This film is a must-watch for being a family entertainer in actual sense of the word with its ‘content being its king’. Sure-shot blockbuster, UDA AIDA is a film that you can’t afford to miss at any cost.
One of the most anxiously awaited films of 2019 is Pankaj Batra’s debut production, High End Yaariyaan which besides featuring the trinity of singers-turned-actors – Ninja, Ranjit Bawa and Jassie Gill, also marks the debut of another singer, Gurnam Bhullar as an actor. The trailer of the film was released today and here’s what we think about it:

The trailer of the film was released today and here’s what we think about it:
With its story based on the friendship of three guys settled abroad (England) and how their friendship evolves when the girls enter their lives, High End Yaariyaan releases on 22nd February. So, one of them is a flirt and witty kinds (Jassie Gill), the other one a simpleton (Ranjit Bawa, and then there’s the one who is the wisest one of the lot (Ninja).
[h4]All set to release on 22nd February, ‘High End Yaariyaan’ has Jassie Gill, Ranjit Bawa and Ninja in the lead and also stars Navneet Kaur Dhillon, Muskan Sethi, Aarush Sharma, Neet Kaur and Gurnam Bhullar. [/h4]
Taking a detour from the regular village comedies, High End Yaariyaan’s trailer promises to connect with today’s Punjabi youth who’s gone to the greener pastures for better career prospects. While the first half of the trailer is packed with usual light-hearted fun focusing on the amazing camaraderie between the three main characters, the second half introduces us to all the emotional twists and drama – how a misbehaviour by one of the friends leads to a heated argument and eventually, separation between the two friends out of the three! As if it isn’t enough, more drama is created by the entry of Gurnam Bhullar, who seems to be playing a baddie set to create troubles in the lives of the three friends.
Check out the trailer here:

High End Yaariyaan’s trailer is replete with fun, frolic, stylish characters and upbeat music! The film promises to bring a change to Punjabi cinema that’s currently focused on family dramas and wedding comedies! A decent enough trailer and the combined fan-following of Ninja, Jassie Gill and Ranjit Bawa are sure to pull the audience to the theatres!
Uda Aida’s trailer was long waited for! Featuring Neeru Bajwa and Tarsem Jassar for the first time together, the film boasts of several popular faces of Punjabi cinema like Gurpreet Ghuggi, B.N. Sharma and many more.
Uda Aida’s trailer was long waited for! Featuring Neeru Bajwa and Tarsem Jassar for the first time together, the film boasts of several popular faces of Punjabi cinema like Gurpreet Ghuggi, B.N. Sharma and many more.
Here are the three best things we liked about Uda Aida’s Trailer (Watch the Trailer Below)
1. Chemistry between Neeru Bajwa and Tarsem Jassar: As evident from the trailer, Neeru and Tarsem are playing husband-wife in the film – which is in itself, an amazing part! Both are looking apt as desi couple who’s got a lovely boy as their child. The cute duo is trying its best to get their child admitted to a good school (good for them means, an English medium convent school) and their little ‘nonk jhonk’ about achieving this goal is something that makes us anxiously wait for the movie release.
2. The Concept: Just when almost every filmmaker is hell bent on making a wedding-based film with similar characters played by the same actors, the team of Naresh Kathooria, Ksshitij Chaudhary and Rrupaali Gupta thought about weaving magic on silver screen through a concept that’s sure to touch the emotional chords of every Punjabi parent and make them think about the choices they’re making for their kids these days, without of course, compromising on the entertainment quotient of the film! ‘Uda Aida’s’ trailer starts with a bang, making us wonder and laugh at the same time and finally, forcing us to ponder!
3. The Look ‘n’ Feel: The entire look and feel of the film, as guessed through its trailer, is vibrant and heartwarming. The sight of endearing school kids, the teachers, the mix of Hindi, English and Punjabi, gives us a feeling that the film is based on the present-day reality of urban Punjab, that the kids and their parents are going to enjoy equally together. Away from usual family dramas, love triangles and weddings, Uda Aida seems to be a film of an entirely different world that the Punjabi cinema has never touched before.
Kudos to the team of Friday Russh Motion Pictures, Naresh Kathooria Films and Ksshitij Chaudhary Films. Directed by Ksshitij and written by Kathooria himself, Uda Aida releases on 1st February. Stay tuned to Iampunjaabi.com for latest updates of Uda Aida.

The multifaceted star has been tirelessly working round the clock to give something fresh to the Punjabi cinema be it films, music – as actor, director or producer!
Today on his birthday, Gippy Grewal has given us a new surprise in the form of a “teaser” of his much-awaited flick – Manje Bistre 2. The teaser is colorful, hilarious, and gives us an idea that Manje Bistre 2 is going to live up to the expectations! In the teaser, the scene when Gippy’s character has to request for a ‘manja’ (bed) from a ‘gori’ is enough to send us in splits. Another reason to wait for the movie is of course, the fresh pairing of Simi and Gippy, which appears to be really sweet in the moive, as of now!
Watch it below and let us know what you think!
Slated to release on April 12, ‘Manje Bistre 2’ is a sequel of 2017 Blockbuster Manje Bistre’. While the original revolved around a village in Punjab, the sequel has taken the madness to Canada.

Comic book “Epic Journey of the Great Dara Singh” has been released at the Mumbai Comic Con 2018 on December 22. The comic will present the late wrestler, actor Dara Singh as the real life superhero.
The son of the wrestler, Vindu Dara Singh said in an interview that the comic will focus on some of the lesser known facts about Dara Singh’s childhood, his first stint in “pehlwani” and later years.
“The book will present my father Dara Singh as the real life superhero, who was a world wrestling champion and an inspiration to everyone,” Vindu, who helmed the project,” he said in a statement, adding, “Right from his brand of raw, overpowering aggression inside the wrestling ring to his discipline and humility outside it, the aim is to present the lesser known side of the Rustom-e-Hind to the world.”
