Shakes you to the core and makes you present to the brutal reality many families had to go in and the aftermath of 84 riots. Whenever I see movies like these, a part of mine cries and the other one feels ashamed to see the lows humanity has gone to. It adds to the misery further to know that the reality is more brutal than what is shown in these movies.
Beautifully directed and acted by everyone in the movie. The songs are very meaningful. Must watch for everyone who relate to the cause in any possible ways. The story line is based on a true incident while we must note that there were many other countless such stories that actually happened.

Hats off and a Big Thank You to Anurag Singh and White hill for a movie like this. Touches the right emotions. One of the best performances from Kiron Kher and Diljit. Kiron Kher ma'am you have proved once again why you are such a versatile actor. And Diljit has proved as well that he is not just a one genre actor. The movie has been beautifully pictured and each scene is like its been taken of a canvas. Amazing Music esp 'Awaal Allah', 'Channo' and 'Swaah Ban k'. It could have been a bit shorter. at two hours and forty minutes it does tend to stretch a bit. But that does not stop this movie from being a master piece. I hope this movie creates a bed rock for Punjabi Cinema and promotes more movies to be made over sensitive and meaningful topics.
This is the best movie i ever seen in my whole life yet. Diljit Dosanjh and Kirron Kher done there best in this movie. Well it's really a heart touching movie God Bless the whole team. Also God bless the souls of our brothers and sisters who were torched/killed during 1984 black days. We wish to see more movies based on reality so that everybody keep there history, keep there roots with themselves. From the starting of the movie to ending it remains it's emotional touch with us. The songs included in the movie were fabulous. Writer's also done there job more then our expectations. If we talk about the singers, Diljit Dosanjh, and other artist's have a diamond like voice. At last i again wants to thanks the whole team for a Masterpiece. Well this movie deserves more then Oscar.
This is made on a different level only. Amazing and so soulful
This is by far the best Punjabi movie ever made on this topic of relationship between a mother and son who suffered during the troubled 80s. Acting was excellent and so were the songs. Only the second half was bit slow and the director got carried away in trying to combine politics and terrorism. Second half was also too long, the movie could have been cut short by at least 15 minutes. The songs were very touchy and were there as per the situation. Dilijit Dosanjh, Kirron Kher both played their parts well. But the surprises were Rana Ranbir and Pawan Malhotra. Rana Ranbir did full justice and Pawan Malhotra played it so well that you actually hate that guy, that is acting. I am from the Majha area and could relate very well to all the places mentioned in the movie not to forget the Majhail dialict in the movie from the extras (the villagers). A very sincere attempt to share the sorrows of the mothers/fathers who lost their sons (Hindus/Sikhs and Policemen) and some of them don't even know what happened to them. The last lady showed at end titles, who does not even have a photo of her son, as she has lost her mental balance and gets agitated when reminded about her son, brought tears to my eyes. These great mothers still suffer for no fault of theirs. Kudos to the neighbours of this lady, who take care of her.
