In Punjabi film industry’s illustrious history, sadly there have been only a few films that have left an indelible mark on the viewers’ conscience. But, Chann Pardesee (1981) is a huge exception. Not as far as its technically superior production is concerned, but also some towering performances matched with an intelligibly believable storyline. Never before and never after have we seen such raw talent on the silver screen with some memorable performances in the shape of Amrish Puri (Jagirdar), Kulbhushan Kharbanda (Nek), Raj Babbar (Laali), Tulsi (Om Puri), Rama Vij (Kammo).
