what is expected of a punjabi film? culture, dance, punjabi people? and what's not expected of a punjabi film? storyline, good acting, good art? this movie is other way around. I found all of the above except stupid people trying to make you laugh. This film is good quirky dramatic film that keeps you entertained throughout. You always want to know what is happening next in the film. this is so so so unpredictable film that you might think about what happens next but it will be totally different what actually happens next. At mid way, I wanted to know what is ending? Seriously, I can't believe a punjabi language drama could be this good. So gripping. No non sense people trying to act on screen. Really really well done music. I would give it 10/10.

Checked it out in LA 5. I have had a few East Indian Punjabi friends from BC so familiarity with the culture helped understanding the film. It is true that women get killed in that culture if caught in an extra martial affair. Film raises the issue in a subtle manner and explores the character of dimple, a wannabe bollywood and her needs and wants from a perfect husband. I really liked the music, stunning songs and romantic music. Portrayal of CJ is great and in a normal condition that happens around Vancouver a lot, dimple would've been killed but his decision of carrying on the relationship for their daughter is against all odds in a society. I loved the performance of writer,director,star Harpreet Sandhu, Reema Nagra and Dilbag Brar. Film is gripping throughout and once again musical pieces are nice.

As Punjabi audience witnessed opening of the film along with Canadian International FTV Festival on November 12 and highlighted on prestigious print media such as straight.com and toronto.com. The film proves to be the most intriguing Punjabi film in the history of Punjabi Cinema. Vick (Harpreet Sandhu) handles the film throughout with international class acting skills along with edgy performance of Dimple (Reema Nagra). Other lead Dilbag Brar has done an exceptionally good job. The supporting cast of the film really supports as pillars and moves the story forward in a very smooth manner. Acting skill of Harpreet Sandhu has proved to be par excellence. Never has it happened in the Punjabi Cinema that an actor of his caliber has been seen. His jawdropping performance as Vick wins him a nomination as best actor at Canada International FTV festival award and leaves the jury with an everlasting impression of Punjabi actor.

Watched it on quiet Sunday night. I didn't have much expectations from a Punjabi Film but it was advertised well so I gave it a try. I was really impressed with acting. All lead actors were great. I especially liked Reema Nagra that plays an immigrant girl being a Canadian. It was very well done storyline. It was quite entertaining in the beginning. Although it is a drama film, it does hold the audience and audience cannot figure out what is going to happen next that is best part of the storyline. Camera work is awesome. I liked song Chann, very beautifully shot. It was a little long film but given it unfolds at right times, it was OK to sit for a little longer. Other than that it is a nicely done film and must watch for especially Punjabi audience. It brings the needed change in punjabi/Hindi films overseas. A must watch.

Acting skill of Harpreet Sandhu has proved to be par excellence. Never has it happened in the Punjabi Cinema that an actor of his caliber has been seen. His jaw dropping performance as Vick wins him a nomination as best actor at Canada International FTV festival award and leaves the jury with an everlasting impression of Punjabi actor. The direction of the film also wins a nomination at the awards and scenes are well executed with absolutely no flaws. The scene at the intermission really makes it's mark when you see the female audience crying at the interval. This brings Harpreet Sandhu at the forefront of Punjabi Cinema as the most promising film director of all time. Reema Nagra has also done an exceptionally good job in acting with one nomination win as best actress at the festival. She plays well the role of a Canadian immigrant girl who twists her tongue to pull off Canadian accent and at times she becomes successful. She has firm grip on the character. Dilbag Brar acts as third pillar and supports the film throughout with real life character.
