    An excellent biography. Diljith at his best

    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.

    Brilliantly told story

    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.

    RAW and Unfiltered - Imtiaz's Conviction speaks volume

    "CHAMKILA" encapsulates the soul of Punjab with a purity that resonates through every frame. Imtiaz Ali's directorial finesse delves deep into the essence of Chamkila's music, transcending linguistic barriers by seamlessly translating his poignant lyrics into Hindi, offering viewers an intimate understanding of his artistry.

    Bold and unapologetic, the film unearths both the virtuous and flawed facets of Amar Singh Chamkila's persona, portraying him as an artist consumed by his craft and beholden to his audience. His tumultuous journey, from the fervor of his initial marriage to the shadows of his past, unfolds with raw authenticity, painting a vivid portrait of a man ensnared by his own legacy.

    Diljit Dosanjh's portrayal of Chamkila is nothing short of mesmerizing, effortlessly embodying the complexities of the enigmatic artist, while Parineeti Chopra delivers a compelling performance in her supporting role.

    What sets "CHAMKILA" apart is its meticulous attention to detail, drawing inspiration from real-life events and seamlessly integrating archival footage and evocative animations. Each performance is a poignant tribute to the trials and triumphs of Chamkila's life, resonating with authenticity and emotional depth.

    In essence, "CHAMKILA" is more than just a cinematic experience; it's a captivating journey into the heart and soul of an artist, offering audiences a glimpse into the exhilarating highs and harrowing lows of a life lived in pursuit of musical transcendence.

    Best movie

    Amazing Storylines Great Acting Especially by Diljit Dosanjh and pareeneti Chopra.

    Loved their acting.

    Beat movie I have seen between 2018 and till date .

    Music is also Great.

    Would Recommend watching To all My friends.

    Diljeet did a great job in his role. The story was good, the filming was impressive, and Rahman got the movie's vibe just right. Parineeti's part wasn't big, but she acted well. It's not that she did poorly; it's just that Chamkila's character stole the show. This movie should've been in theaters. But then again, it might not have made much money and could've stopped similar movies from getting a chance. At least Netflix likely paid well for it, giving such movies a place to shine.
