I haven't watched punjabi movies outside of diljit dosanjh films so this is a different vibe. It gives kind of a saturday night live spoof feel -there's no way anyone would realistically take this concept of sister wives seriously in this day and age ( and if they did they missed the point!) This movie made me laugh and I'm a social justice feminist. It had some crude humour but I think the message was irony. Ammy's character had dreams of being served by two wives, meanwhile not being looked after by either. The ending was as good as it could be for this film. If you watch with a grain of salt and leave your brain at home this could elicit some sarcastic giggles of disbelief. ( i showed my husband clips of this movie and it gave him flashes of what he never wants his life to be).
I love Punjabi movies and I was waiting for this one. But movie has a really bad message and is cringy. It is almost unbearable how they have reduced the role of a women to just being a mother and otherwise she should feel worthless and accept the man to find another partner.
The movie has depicted a very sensitive and vulnerable subject of the society in a comical way which is extremely upsetting. The subject of the second marriage for the sake of having a child is portrayed normalized in the movie. Some people say it's just a movie made for laughter and fun, I would say it's just not about that, it's about the emotions of those infertile women and men who face the slander and wrath of the society in their daily lives, will they enjoy this movie??
Making a movie on such a subject would actually hurt the sentiments of these people who are facing these issues in real life and would actually promote the act of second marriage in a positive context if one cannot conceive a child. The way Ammy Virk's character is shown is utterly disappointing, he doesn't care about his first wife's emotions at all, he gets easily convinced for the second marriage as if the bond and affection he shared with her for so many years just disappeared, in that case I would say what's the point of getting yourself into a holy thing like marriage when you can easily move on and forget the love for your partner as soon as you find a new person to entertain yourself.
The only think I find good in the movie is they showed what plight a woman goes through if she has a Saunkan( other wife of the husband) so some people could actually connect and realize how wrong this thing is.
Moreover, I believe the concept of second marriage for the sake of having a child is a negative connotation itself regardless it's a barren women or an infertile men. Marriage is the celebration of eternal love and togetherness between two people, to be there and support each other in every way and not for just having children. Obviously, having an offspring is a biggest blessing in anyone's life, it grows your family but the idea of having it to complete a Marriage is inconsiderate.

Let's accept it pandemic has kept us away from cinema for too long. Anyways the film is initially slow for 20 minutes which is basically wrong way to start in any movie but it picks up good.
Some millinelial wokes and extreme feminists may find the concept too bad to give 1 star review perhaps they didn't watch the full . Movie and forget the fact that it I'd a story set in 80s, and above all they might forget it is a comedy. Amberdeeps last film teeja Punjab was forgettable but this one is a gem. Sargun mehta at her best same for ammy surprise came from nimrat oh man she can act I thought she couldn't.
