This is made on a different level only. Amazing and so soulful
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.
First of all I'm a bit surprised that even after one week of it's release nobody has actually posted a review!
Now I will say that Punjab film Industry has come a long way in these recent few years giving us viewers some great movies to watch! now i personally thought that Punjab film industry is only capable in making people laugh but after seeing this i salute the director who has changed my thoughts on it,they can actually make us emotional too.
This movie was very important for me as a youngster born in Tarn-Taran the place where these incidents actually happened and heard stories from his parents ,read in books about the massacre that happened in 1984 i had mixed feelings on it as I'm an Atheist belonging to a Hindu background we also lost a family member in the massacre who fought his whole life for the welfare of farmers and their rights!
Okay so let's get started the movie starts of with kirron kher who did a splendid job as a mother trying to find his missing son who was taken by police for apparently no reason and later told that he was a terrorist.I wouldn't spoil it any further as i think it's better to watch then speak about it.
As Diljit Dosanjh said in an interview after seeing the movie you will not remember one particular role but admire each and everyone's effort behind the movie which clearly shows of.
Now the movie is shot in some beautiful destinations like villages in Punjab, city of tarn taran where i belong to and the mountains of Srinagar.
last but not the least I thank kirron kher,diljit dosanjh and director Anurag singh for depicting the movie so good ,i was personally worried after seeing a movie called sada haq based on similar incidents which was not worthy of all the hype it got. but I can surely say each and every Indian should watch this movie to know what actually happened 1984!
''100% unbiased movie''
Thanks!

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.

first of all I would say that.. The movie's outstanding! Anurag Singh (the director) just proved that you don't need more than 7 0 million rupees ($1,500,000 approx) to make a movie that may actually hit hard all those senseless, masala-filled Indian movies.
I found Kirron Kher's performance in Punjab 1984 as the best until this day. She'll make you cry, make you laugh and capture your senses silently with those expressions.
Most of the scenes were technically and emotionally Genuine. I mean it. I find it Very Rare.
Acting was too good by lead Artists, and even better by the rest of Crew. Movie Direction was superb by Anurag Singh (huge change after giving 4-5 back to back Comedy hits). Songs' Lyrics need special mentioning.. Great! Shooting sets were realistic, giving the audience total feel of the 1980s' unfortunate happenings.
I would've rated it with 9 stars, but an extra one especially for Kirron Kher. Respect.
