Punjab 1984

First of all I'm a bit surprised that even after one week of it's release nobody has actually posted a review!

Now I will say that Punjab film Industry has come a long way in these recent few years giving us viewers some great movies to watch! now i personally thought that Punjab film industry is only capable in making people laugh but after seeing this i salute the director who has changed my thoughts on it,they can actually make us emotional too.

This movie was very important for me as a youngster born in Tarn-Taran the place where these incidents actually happened and heard stories from his parents ,read in books about the massacre that happened in 1984 i had mixed feelings on it as I'm an Atheist belonging to a Hindu background we also lost a family member in the massacre who fought his whole life for the welfare of farmers and their rights!

Okay so let's get started the movie starts of with kirron kher who did a splendid job as a mother trying to find his missing son who was taken by police for apparently no reason and later told that he was a terrorist.I wouldn't spoil it any further as i think it's better to watch then speak about it.

As Diljit Dosanjh said in an interview after seeing the movie you will not remember one particular role but admire each and everyone's effort behind the movie which clearly shows of.

Now the movie is shot in some beautiful destinations like villages in Punjab, city of tarn taran where i belong to and the mountains of Srinagar.

last but not the least I thank kirron kher,diljit dosanjh and director Anurag singh for depicting the movie so good ,i was personally worried after seeing a movie called sada haq based on similar incidents which was not worthy of all the hype it got. but I can surely say each and every Indian should watch this movie to know what actually happened 1984!

''100% unbiased movie''

Thanks!

This is by far the best Punjabi movie ever made on this topic of relationship between a mother and son who suffered during the troubled 80s. Acting was excellent and so were the songs. Only the second half was bit slow and the director got carried away in trying to combine politics and terrorism. Second half was also too long, the movie could have been cut short by at least 15 minutes. The songs were very touchy and were there as per the situation. Dilijit Dosanjh, Kirron Kher both played their parts well. But the surprises were Rana Ranbir and Pawan Malhotra. Rana Ranbir did full justice and Pawan Malhotra played it so well that you actually hate that guy, that is acting. I am from the Majha area and could relate very well to all the places mentioned in the movie not to forget the Majhail dialict in the movie from the extras (the villagers). A very sincere attempt to share the sorrows of the mothers/fathers who lost their sons (Hindus/Sikhs and Policemen) and some of them don't even know what happened to them. The last lady showed at end titles, who does not even have a photo of her son, as she has lost her mental balance and gets agitated when reminded about her son, brought tears to my eyes. These great mothers still suffer for no fault of theirs. Kudos to the neighbours of this lady, who take care of her.

Well, to begin, I cannot remember the last time I could not get up at the end of a movie. I literally could not rise up from my seat. My body felt as though it were being weighed down by something considerably larger and heavier than myself. I stepped into that theatre not entirely knowing what to expect, And then the movie started and I was taken aback by the realness of the images before me, by the humanness of the families being portrayed and by the storyline that was developing. It drew feeling out of you. It's rare that a movie lives up to its hype, even rarer that the hype is transcended by the actual achievement. Punjab 1984 does both. Aided by powerful performances and cinematography.

I might not agree with some of the facts shown in second half or of the portraying the film's perception of the actions of Sikh Freedom Fighters.

The acting was phenomenal. Every one did justice to their role but Kiron Kher and Diljit Dosanjh were simply outstanding. It is must watch movie and one of the best punjabi movie I have ever seen.

This is made on a different level only. Amazing and so soulful

Outstanding effort by Anurag Singh and team for making a movie on a very sensitive and bold subject. If you belong to Punjab you will find yourself connected to the story. Acting by Kiron Kher, Daljit and Pawan Malhotra is very realistic. All the shooting locations depicts the era of 1990s. The songs are touching and compliment the script very well. The movie is a must watch for all ages. A very emotional and sentimental bond of mother son relationship is shown. A story of a family and a struggle of a village boy is elegantly presented on Silver Screen.

All in all.. a must watch !
