Snowman

This is the First punjabi movie that i saw people left the cinema, it was one before 'Gardari laal' but it was more worst than that. Story make no sense to me for even 5 Minutes and the funny part is they gonna continue this story, as it is shown. We Expect some quality work from respected rana ranbir and Neeru bajwa. Its good to try something different but at least you have some experience, Direction is not a joke. Movies don't work just to show some nice aerial shots. Weather in the Movie show like we are back in 1920 that have no facility to connect. No roads are connect, Cellphone don't work and still every meet on a same road, make no sense.

Snowman is a captivating Punjabi film that brilliantly combines the thrills of an adrenaline-pumping storyline with the chilling beauty of breathtaking cinematography. Directed by the visionary AMAN KHATKAR, this movie takes the audience on an unforgettable journey through the majestic snow-capped mountains of BC canada, where suspense and emotion intertwine like the intricate patterns of a snowflake.

From the very first frame, Snowman grips you with its stunning visuals. The cinematography is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each shot feels like a postcard from a winter wonderland, with sweeping landscapes that capture the serene beauty of the snowy terrain while also evoking a sense of isolation that perfectly complements the film's tension. The clever use of light and shadow creates an eerie atmosphere, enhancing the film's thrilling moments while making the viewer shiver in both excitement and fear.

At the heart of this gripping narrative is the powerhouse performance by the lead actor Arshi Khatkar.

After watching the best Punjabi movie ever made in 'The legend of Maula Jatt' I had the unfortunate experience of watching one of the worst in 'Snowman' with in a couple of months time.

There's a song in the movie which goes by 'eh ki ho reha hai' and me and my wife were literally looking at each other and thinking the same about the movie.

The best part was that it was 2hrs long and not 2:30 or 3:00hrs or else this movie might have become the first Punjabi movie where we would have left the cinema mid way.

Not even a talented actor like Rana Ranbir could save it.

Punjabi audience is ready to accept movies made on different concepts other than the comedy movies but Punjabi cinema need talented people to produce/direct the same as well.

I went into this movie blind and I'm hesitant to even call it a movie.

Firstly the good) Concept is okay at BEST, and they chose a beautiful place to film the movie. It looks great. Some drone shots are well done, and credits song was fine. Plus Rana Ranbir the only actual actor in this mess cleans up as much as he can with what he's given.

The Bad) ALOT As others say it's 10% movie 90% songs. On top of that while the songs are playing the visual is just the actors/actresses just staring into the distance looking "cool". Music is repetitive as well with some songs literally translating to "What is happening" over and over again. Of course the "snowman" over and over again.

Acting is also incredibly weak. Never understood the reason of forcing a Punjabi character to speak English and vice versa. Let them speak in a language they're comfortable with over broken English/Punjabi. Ruins scenes. As well line delivery is so flat at times it's sad. You know a intense movie is bad when I'm laughing at line deliveries and acting choices. As said before Rana Ranbir is a shining star in the movie but is bogged down by the writing.

Writing needed honestly like 1-2 months of just refinement. Everything feels so forced as "this happened because it had to happen". Sometimes characters will act out of character just to suit the "story". It's odd to say the least. Ontop of that towards the ends 2-3 characters are added for no reason? It's again forced to suit the "shock" ending. Also 1 hour 20 mins run time? That's it? Factoring in all the songs + credits it's AT MAX 40 mins of actually move

Editing is jarring. Any tense scenes are ruined by worthless cuts to another plot.

Ending is laughably bad like actually I was laughing at how dumb it was. Any sensible plot/motive is thrown out the window for a "cool twist". Also a "To be continued" with quite literally nothing to go off is the worst thing ever.

TLDR: Don't waste your money on this movie a 1 hour bore fest. The only movie where the whole theatre was talking towards the end out of boredom. I feel bad as it's a smaller cast and budget but some stuff is inexcusably bad. I gave it a star for Rana Ranbir and the filming location. Hopefully we won't see a Snowman 2.

I had such high expectations from this movie! This was the first time punjabi cinema tried to do something different. The story seems like a two year old child wrote it. The only good actor was Rana Ranbir which was expected given his experience. Neeru was good as well. All other newbie actors were a pain to watch. Some actors were laughing during serious scenes. Horrible dialog delivery. Overall, such a disappointment. Hopefully they do humanity some justice and don't make a second part because literally no one will come watch it. The ending did not make sense...there was a lot going on and not enough explanation.
