Moh

Moh is not just a film, it's a deeply emotional experience that stays with you long after the final frame. Directed by Jagdeep Sidhu, this bold and unconventional Punjabi film dares to explore forbidden love, emotional vulnerability, and societal double standards with refreshing honesty and poetic depth.

At the center of this tragic romance is the story of a young boy (Gitaj Bindrakhia in a strong debut) who falls in love with an older, married woman (Sargun Mehta in her career-best performance). Their relationship, intense yet tender, defies societal expectations and becomes a haunting portrait of unfulfilled love, quiet suffering, and internal rebellion.

Sargun Mehta delivers a phenomenal performance as Gorey, portraying a layered character caught between duty and desire, societal roles and selfhood. Her expressions, emotional depth, and screen presence elevate the entire film. Gitaj Bindrakhia surprises with an emotionally raw and mature performance for a first-time actor.

The writing is brave and nuanced. Instead of shying away from the moral complexity of the plot, the film leans into it, questioning how society perceives women's needs, marriage, and love. It unflinchingly highlights how women are expected to sacrifice their happiness for tradition, while even the slightest rebellion is condemned.

B Praak's music and Jaani's poetic lyrics are another standout. Every song is soulful, heartbreaking, and masterfully placed to enhance the emotional beats of the film. The background score, especially in emotionally heavy moments and the shayari-filled climax, is spine-tingling.

Jagdeep Sidhu steps away from his usual comedic storytelling and proves he is equally adept at crafting serious, meaningful cinema. Moh is a milestone for Punjabi film, not just in story, but in tone, treatment, and performance.

If you're looking for something lighthearted or comedic, Moh may feel too heavy. But if you appreciate meaningful cinema with layered characters, poetic writing, and raw emotion, this is a must-watch. Moh is a much-needed breath of fresh air in Punjabi cinema and a step toward bolder, more impactful storytelling.

Sargun Mehta, as Gore, delivers a performance so bold and powerful that it's hard to imagine any other actress portraying this character with such conviction. Her looks, her body language, and her expressions align perfectly with the demands of the role. She doesn't just act-she lives this character.

Sargun continues to bring freshness to Punjabi cinema, setting new benchmarks that her contemporaries are yet to come close to. Her ability to take up difficult roles and perform them so effortlessly is what makes her truly unique.

Jagdeep Sidhu, as both writer and director, also deserves immense appreciation. He understands the depth of Sargun's talent and utilizes it brilliantly, crafting this masterpiece with precision and sensitivity. "Moh" stands as a piece of art-cinema with meaning, reminiscent of Shyam Benegal's style of filmmaking.

We would love to see Sargun Mehta in more such challenging roles, not just in Punjabi films but also in Bollywood, where her immense potential deserves a wider canvas. She has so much more to offer, and "Moh" is a shining proof of that.

It was so refreshing to see something different, Sargur mehta's character written very well !, real life stories this happen :), waiting for more like this new stories,

Really love the way they depict young boy love with married women and how society never understand female needs, husband not treating well wife will end the relation, whereas respect from other person is always makes you take decision for your happiness, but society will never understand this, women have to be very simple, family oriented otherwise she is not accepted. This is very brave to bring out to public, hope eye openers.

"MOH" is not just a film - it is a rare, soul-stirring experience. A timeless piece of art that happens once in decades. Punjabi cinema has given many good movies, but MOH stands apart as its crown jewel.

Gitaz Bindrakhia, in his debut, delivers a performance so intense and natural that it doesn't feel like acting - he is the character. His expressions, silence, pain, and purity - all strike deep. He has the legacy of his father, the great Surjit Bindrakhia, in his blood - and he has honoured it with grace and brilliance.

Sargun Mehta is divine in her portrayal. She doesn't just act - she becomes the poetry of the film. Her character reflects the conflict between societal boundaries and the yearning of a free soul. Her performance is layered, haunting, and unforgettable.

Jagdeep Sidhu, the writer-director, has created magic. His screenplay is filled with silence, depth, heartbreak, and a rare poetic beauty. He has beautifully incorporated the soul of Shiv Kumar Batalvi and Jaun Elia's shayari - the film bleeds their verses. It's like a moving book of poetry.

B Praak and Jaani, the heart and soul of the music, have given compositions that pierce the heart. Each song, each note, each silence is loaded with emotion. The background score enhances the film's aura - it's a musical soul-cry.

Even the supporting cast - Prabh Bains, Amrit Amby, and others - contribute significantly. Every actor, every frame, every word is meaningful.

This is not just my favourite Punjabi movie - it is a part of my soul now. Words fall short to praise this cinematic marvel.

"MOH" will not fade - it will echo. Forever.

Sargun you just nailed it and probably the best role and acting I've seen till now from you. Direction and background music was😍.

Good debut by Gitaz. Good story and screenplay. We need more movies like this. Punjabi cinema need some different stories rather than just comedies.

B Praak your music is just legendary Every song of this movie is legendary in itself.

And at last jaani shayari was unexpected.

And the best of the movie is Sargun... Ohh my god you're really the best female actor till now in Punjabi cinema.
