Shareek

Jimmy Shergill makes of this film a masterpiece. His acting game combined to the talent of the director led to a beautiful film with very nice scenes.

Finally we see a movie that refreshes memories of an Old Punjabi Cinema. The storyline and cast was wisely chosen and everyone was appropriate for their roles. There were times when we had a laugh and the emotional parts were not lagging too. Although there were few flaws according to me. Mr. Guggu Gill was not used to his stature and ability. Also there were times when I felt background music was not really a necessity in some scenes. Overall, It was a movie that everyone was waiting for and it lived to the expectations. I give it 7/10 with an expectation that they produce more Punjabi movies with a STORY(just like this one) that makes sense.

After long time very good punjabi movie came which is shareek. jimmy shergill and the villain has done great piece of acting. very good dialogues and performances. congrats to director. i even liked it morethan angrej i don't know why. may be shareek is better movie than angrej although it couldn't manage the same numbers at box office. it is a must watch for punjabi cinema lovers. nice music and songs too. andgreat moral at the end. that zameen never goes with anyone when they die. the transformation of jimmy shergill character is awesome and villain lines are too good. it is true that Zameen and money is the source of the blackness in the hearts of the people.

I love this film! Jimmy Shergill is magnetic as always. I can't imagine how it would be without him in the film. Great movie, great work, great directing, great acting!

This movie is a look into rural Punjab where even brothers turn into enemies over land or water issues.. Me being from a village, i can say the situation is exactly like it's depicted in the movie and in some cases much worse. Anyone from Punjab will definitely connect to the movie.

The movie opens up with wide shots of Punjab and the beauty is mesmerizing. The background song tells us about the pride of Punjabis. We see Jimmy Shergill aged to 50 years and must say the makeup guys did an awesome job .

Jassi played Mahi Gill is introduced to us doing traditional Punjabi dance "Gidda" The choreographers did justice to the dance. Her character had so much potential but they failed to properly utilize it in the movie.

The movie raises some relevant issues. It shows that an arrange marriage in Punjab mostly is based on the number of acres of land on owns. This is so true in reality where the first consideration for any marriage is the size of property owned. ...

Though the movies starts pretty good but is filled with many movie clichés. The actress running into our hero and falling in his arms. Love at first sight for the and many many more.

The movie does have a positive message for youngsters of Punjab. It points out that all guys do is waste time to make beautiful girlfriends so they can show off in front of their friends. They waste lot of time and money behind these beautiful girls. One should check this behavior in oneself. Anyone who has lived in Chandigarh will know how much time guys wastes chasing girls. The movie is also is a wakeup call to girls who fall for these type of opportunist guys too quickly thinking it is love. Later getting betrayed & hurt.

Songs of the movie are all great but unfortunately they don't any anything to the movie except the first one. I think its time that movie makers stop adding songs to the movies for no reason. We should be done with clichéd Holli songs, clichéd love making songs which only acts as fillers.

There is this older women character in the movie. This type of women can be found in many households. She is the one who manipulates men in her house to please her own ego. Like this women, Anyone from a Punjabi family will recognize many of the characters depicted in the movie so a thumbs up to the directors but unfortunately they were not used to their full potential.

Though the 1st half was strong. The movie took a downward turn in the 2nd half. The movie lost its way from being a serious movie that brings up an important issue faced by people in Punjab to almost becoming a comedy... The movie had me confused of what to think.. The tension & pacing generated in the first half went cold in second half as nothing much happened...

The movie missed an opportunity. It could have made us questions many of our actions that happen under the influence of false pride. How does pride make brothers enemies which lasts for generations, how does pride allow us to kill our daughters if the fall in love with someone from different caste, how does pride become more important than our own family that we allow it to be destroyed. How can revenge control everything in oneself and life has no value. The movie failed to ask these important questions.

Some part the story is really good and the movie easily competes with big Bollywood movies and in some places it looks like a small budget Punjabi movie. The action in the movie was awful and its filming is even worse. May be a better choice of action directors could have helped since the just look too fake.

There are 2 kinds of people who should watch this movie. First is people who have at some point lived in a village in Punjab. Second is the people who want to know a bit more about the people living in Punjab villages or Punjabi culture. For anyone looking to me moved by a social issue, this movie is not for you. I'd suggest you watch Ramta Jogi.

The movie is just too long with unnecessary scenes, plot points, sub plots & unnecessary characters. They could have easily made the movie at least 30 mins shorter. For example there is Racial Discrimination scene in the movie. Its just shows the movie was trying to do too much. Some scenes have nothing to do with the progress of story and are added for no reason.

A major surprise in the movie was reviled too early and for me that spoiled all the fun. If they had kept it till the end the viewer would have better enjoyed it. In the end the movie just missed a great opportunity to becoming something truly amazing.
