Amar Singh Chamkila

Although some people who are not Punjabi might find some scenes boring specially the songs overall it is a brilliantly shot film. The story shows rise of a poor man to the heights unimaginable and jealousy and envy of established people who could not tolerate him. It also shows the artistic and human side of chamkila which was not shown in earlier Punjabi films. But kiddos to imtiaz Ali he captured the era , the culture balancing Punjabi for Hindi audience as well crafting a totally artistic movie which I am sure most of the cinema lovers will be fully enjoying . This film will not disappoint you.

Watched Hindi movie Amar Singh Chamkila on Netflix starring Diljith Dosanjh, Parineeti chopra directed by Imtiaz Ali.

This is a story of a real punjabi singer of same name who was shot dead when he was in his peak of music career. He was the highest record selling artist in punjab during 70's and 80's A ordinary poor singer who slowly becomes famous due to his vulgar songs . Vulgar or double meaning lyrics used in songs create a big fame in punjab and he just becomes famous not only in India but other counties like the gulf, UK and Canada.

All his original songs were used . The makers cleverly showed the real pictures, videos and old footages of the singer and his wife on many scenes.

During the songs they show the hindi meanings also of the lyrics so that people can understand. I really liked that part because songs were pure punjabi and not everyone understands that even some hindi speaking audiences.

What a stellar performance by Diljith he just lived the character throughout. Superbly acted and very well supported by Pareeniti chopra who plays his second wife.

Imtiaz Ali is back as a director after 3-4 years and has crafted this biography superbly.

One of the best hindi movies I watched in recent times.

The movie will take you back in the 70s and 80s the way the art directors have created the set to show the old punjab is fantastic.

Good background score by A. R. Rahman and songs are also nice.

Do watch it if you want to enjoy a good hindi movie, with songs, emotions and a nice biography of a great singer.

Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏 #netflixmovies #netflixrecommendations #diljitdosanjh #ParineetiChopra #ImtiazAli #amarsinghchamkilaonnetflix #amarsinghchamkila #moviereview #movienetflix #movies.

"Who decides what should people listen to?"

A really well made biopic about an artist who was a victim of cancel culture in the worst way. Imtiaz Ali tells the story of Amar Singh Chamkila, a musician who became the highest selling artist of Punjab by writing and performing vulgar songs. He was not the only one writing such songs, nor were his songs the most distasteful in the industry. But he was the one who gained the most popularity. And so, had to suffer the consequences.

And in telling this person's story, Ali doesn't take his side by justifying his lyrics. He doesn't make a hero out of Chamkila. He just presents him as he was. An artist who created music according to the audience's taste. An ordinary person who did not have the luxury to think about rights and wrongs. He just produced what he saw and heard around him.

Ali's choice of using animation, documentary styled storytelling, and real life footages makes the film work quite well. Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra do commendable works in portraying their characters. The decision of making them sing the songs is praiseworthy.

Add to that the original music of AR Rahman, and lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil that capture the essence of the events and the Punjabi culture extremely well. The editing is some of the best you'll find in an Indian film. On a technical standpoint, this is one of the better biopics to come out of Bollywood.

"Not everyone can afford to think about right and wrong. Some people just need to survive."

The magic of Imtiaz Ali is back. Diljit's portrayal is nothing short of mesmerizing. No one else could have done it. The anticipation since the movie's announcement has been building, and thankfully, it more than lives up to expectations. What a beautiful cinematic journey, with stellar performances from the entire cast. Parineeti shines brilliantly alongside Diljit. The music, as expected from the genius of AR Rahman, is exceptional, with Mohit Chauhan's vocals once again casting a spell on us. Undoubtedly, the finest film of 2024, Diljit emerges as the next big thing in Bollywood. His talent knows no bounds, and he is undoubtedly here to slay. As dedicated Diljit fans, we are very proud. He deserves every accolade, especially all the Best Actor awards of the year.

Great acting and special the punjab culture brings to the screen was most important thing and directer done his job very well. Music is great but not ar Rehman special. Set design production at next level. Dijit prov it again he is real actor. Songs are nearly 80s music. Worth to see movie and acting. Preneti chopra done her role perfectly. It real really imatiz Ali gem and he prove it. Dinette acting impressive and getting day by day. I was expecting great lyrics from Irshad kamil but I think he just just write the songs not put his efforts like other movie. The worth watch movie to see in ci.
