Godday Godday Chaa

This sweet little film highlights the misogyny, stopping the women in taking part in Baraat of their own kin and even doesn't allow woman to eat meat. The educated daughter-in-law Rani (Sonam Bajwa) revolts against this oppression and convinces women in her village to fight for their right to attend the wedding. Her soft spoken husband Bagga supports her unconditionally. How Rani and her gang of women, trick the misogynistic men to earn their right forms rest of the story.

The story is set in the 90s and the overdose of misogyny which is played for laughs as well as to evoke melodrama might not appeal to everyone. But the intentions are honest and the treatment is not slapstick. Sonam Bajwa owns the character and carried the film with aplomb. Films like these, it is mandatory to have Nirmal Rishi as the grandmother and know for sure that she will provide the best of the entertaining scenes. Here the supporting cast is that good and Tania too with her love for gulab jamun, bring in the laughter.

The ending however felt abrupt with that song though it was good seeing all those women celebrate, taking their right and the voice over during the end credits brought back the humour. Guess I expected the men to be confronted and then make them as just witnesses to the women's celebration. This is still a good watch and I will definitely recommend it.

I'll say it again - GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW.

Movies like these are rare these days. Acting , direction , music , production - the movie has excelled in every facet.

Sonam becomes a different person in each movie - some for this one. Beauty inside out with immense talent!

Tania is a cutie who entices the audience and holds their attention in every scene she is.

Gitaz and Gurjazz have given significance to their roles in the most honest way and deserve accolades at the same time.

Nirmal Rishi is a lioness . She is the essence is each movie she does ! Nobody can replace her.

All the supporting actors have played their parts equally well.

Godday Godday Chaa presents a fun filled picture of a relatively unknown social issue from the yesteryears of Punjab. The movie is high on energy (like most Punjabi movies are) and has some peppy and melodious dance numbers too. Sonam Bajwa impresses as the pivotal protagonist to this comic representation of the challenges most women faced in the past in remote rural subsections of Punjab and their fight towards freedom from these unwarranted restrictions. Most supporting cast and the male leads were pretty convincing in their roles and the humor was well timed. The lines were well written. The casting was pretty apt and the picture of a typical Punjabi conservative Pind (village) is painted brilliantly. Tania who plays thr younger sister Nikko is a glam doll to watch and equally talented. Overall Godday Godday Chaa is one of those rare advocates of women's rights that does it without overdoing it, loathing feminism in any way, male bashing or spreading any form of toxicity. In fact for most parts, it's a pretty refreshing watch. You feel like getting up and tapping your feet to the Gidda towards the climax. I give it a 6.8/10.

This is one of the Bestest movie, I had ever seen. Strong story msg. , Traditional , family movie. Acting is like endless ( sirra ). Everyone played his role very well. Story line was fabulous. In 1990 , women's were not allowed in any marriage . How they can go to marrige and what will be the impact on upcoming weddings .

In Punjabi :Bahut sohni movie si. Jma siraa movie c. Pinta ( gurjazz ) did his second movie and I feel he is very old character. Sonam bajwa , Nikko , gitaz and specially co actors 4 old age women's and men played their role very well. Pinta sohna jacda si vaise Nikko naal 😂💐
