Punjab 1984

This is the best movie i ever seen in my whole life yet. Diljit Dosanjh and Kirron Kher done there best in this movie. Well it's really a heart touching movie God Bless the whole team. Also God bless the souls of our brothers and sisters who were torched/killed during 1984 black days. We wish to see more movies based on reality so that everybody keep there history, keep there roots with themselves. From the starting of the movie to ending it remains it's emotional touch with us. The songs included in the movie were fabulous. Writer's also done there job more then our expectations. If we talk about the singers, Diljit Dosanjh, and other artist's have a diamond like voice. At last i again wants to thanks the whole team for a Masterpiece. Well this movie deserves more then Oscar.

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.

Hats off and a Big Thank You to Anurag Singh and White hill for a movie like this. Touches the right emotions. One of the best performances from Kiron Kher and Diljit. Kiron Kher ma'am you have proved once again why you are such a versatile actor. And Diljit has proved as well that he is not just a one genre actor. The movie has been beautifully pictured and each scene is like its been taken of a canvas. Amazing Music esp 'Awaal Allah', 'Channo' and 'Swaah Ban k'. It could have been a bit shorter. at two hours and forty minutes it does tend to stretch a bit. But that does not stop this movie from being a master piece. I hope this movie creates a bed rock for Punjabi Cinema and promotes more movies to be made over sensitive and meaningful topics.

A heartfelt 'Thank You!!!' to the team that made this awesome movie. I want to salute their effort. The only movie before this that had made me feel so proud of the quality that Punjabi cinema is capable of, was Shaheed-e- Mohabbat Buta Singh. Punjab 1984 is simply the BEST movie that I have ever seen, across languages.

Both my husband and I are children of rural Punjab, and so, could identify deeply with the milieu depicted in the movie and with the pain of the characters. We cried at multiple points in the movie and came out of the theater in gloomy silence. It's been six hours since then and all that we have talked about is the movie's characters and the Punjab situation in those days. Never before has a movie overwhelmed me like this.

This movie has accommodated all perspectives and most importantly, has shown the perspective of the common man, which is generally ignored in most narratives of a religious-political conflict. It is a poignant depiction of the suffering the common people underwent due to the political shenanigans of the leaders (of both sides - the government and the revolutionaries) of the time. It shows the helplessness of youth, of both Jat Sikh and Hindu communities, who are prosecuted by the dishonest people in the police system and the dishonest people in the movement. The movie takes care to balance the audience's perspective by showing that not all policemen or all revolutionaries were bad.

I feel very proud that as a society, Punjab has bounced out of this nightmare within a decade.

Food for thought: We could hardly bear the vicarious pain of the characters for 2-and-a-half hours. We cannot begin to imagine how people who actually lived it all would have borne it for their lifetime.
