Angrej

This is my first ever review on IMDb....I was literally forced into registering into an IMDb account as I HAD to write a short recommendation for this movie.

In short this movie is SIMPLY OUTSTANDING and probably ONE OF THE BEST (if not the best) Punjabi movie showing true Punjabi culture!

MUST WATCH with kids esp if you are a Punjabi, to let them know of the background that we come from. Hats off to the producers and the directors for bringing out this masterpiece. Acting is brilliant and songs are awesome. I normally skip songs in most of my movies as I find them useless and meaningless most of the time...But for this movie, I watched the movie at least 4 times just to enjoy the music and songs!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Technically speaking, "Angrej" as a movie is one fine piece of art with a sound story and classic acting. Dialogues are sensibly drawn and screenplay is just dandyish.

however, the most astounding aspect of this film is that it is a very well researched movie on the vintage Punjabi culture which I must say has gone obsolete nowadays. For that, I would like to thank and congratulate the whole team of "Angrej", particularly, the writer and the director who I believe have contributed a great deal to the preservation of the Punjabi culture.

This movie is a gift for those who grew up listening to the legends of "Des" full of "Lok Geet" and the one who delves into Punjabi literature.

Finally somebody broke the monotony of comedy movies in Punjabi cinema and made something really good. Story and screenplay is outstanding, it's kind of those movie which leave it's impression. Amrinder Gill & Sargun did a great job, most interesting part is watching Ammy Virk making his debut in Punjabi cinema which very good acting. Trust me, everybody should watch it. I'm sure it will be a good package what everyone expects from a movie. Generally only big budget movies have such combination of entertainment. But, Angrej broke that thing and showed us even Punjabi cinema can make movies like this. Good job everyone. Keep it up. Looking forward to see more movies like this in our Punjabi cinema. Thank you.

Let me straight on point without wasting time of readers.I was traveling from Lahore to Sahiwal.Film was played on LCD inside Bus.Normally i do not watch during travel but this film was such a master piece which cant not be ignored.I came home,again download it and saw many times alone and with friends.The way director portray simplicity of Punjab before partition was totally beyond perfection.Acting and songs were also awesome.Sets and folk songs customs were shoot beautifully.My ancestors were from Indian Punjab if they were alive this film would had made them cry as it made me.It has all elements what a beautiful film needs.Dialogues were simple and hilarious.and Binnu Dhillon always shine like star also Amrinder proved him self very good actor . Every Punjabi no matter he is from this side of border or other must watch this.This is truly KOH e NOOR of Punjabi cinema.I wish they will be another part with same casting and story line.This film just made my day.Hats off. Highly recommended.Thanks Simerjit Sing and Amberdeep Singh for giving us such a master piece.Lots of love

After watching the initial trailer, I was looking forward to this movie. Was little bit fearful that the team might add typical masala or overdo things to spoil the fun but on the contrary no such thing happened and it turned out to be more than what I had expected.

Movie is set in an era before independence and captures the life of normal peoples as it used to be. you could straight away relate to those little nuances and etiquette's of the cast and fall in love with them. It beautifully captures the locale of that time with simple life, the way people talk and dress up. Cinematography was awesome.

Story was simple and did not had any unusual turns but still it keeps you engaged due to the way it is narrated. There are funny moments which doesn't seem forced but arise due to the general talks or behavior of characters. Songs are not forced, but seems like part of story and helps it move forward.

Acting wise everyone did there job sincerely, no over the top acts. Although everyone was good but Ammy Virk and Sargun Mehta stands out with there performance.

I have rated it 10, couldn't have wished more then what it delivered. Go and watch this delightful journey into the life of early 30's and 40's from the past century. This one is not to be missed.
