Singham (2019)
Simply a disappointment
When you just felt Punjabi cinema was getting recognition and hit franchise like singham comes in Punjabi flavour you are hit by such a big disappointment. And the credit to destroy the franchise goes mainly to three people, actor, screenwriter and director.
It is like these three people came together to make the baddest film of 2019. In acting department the main lead parmish is not convincing he simply doesn't know how to act. Screenplay falls flat and is Almost predictable from the opening credits itself.
Chandigarh Amritsar Chandigarh (2019)
The worst film this week
I went to see muklawa and thought it was a bad film . But by god when I thought I had seen worst I went to see this movie. It's writer Naresh kathuria had my respect but man this is his worst movie. Someone has to tell him that he can write punches for kapil sharma show but as a screenwriter he is miserable. This story has no characters no arcs absolutely zero art. It fails to deliver the message. Even though in the end of movie the writer tries to solve the o obvious gaping holes in his story but by then either you already have left the theatre or are already fed up. Dont waste your money on this one as soon it will be on Amazon prime. Watch Aladdin instead.
Lukan Michi (2019)
It isn't bad it's poisonous
Wow what a bad movie. The director and writer should be barred from doing any movie ever again. The film is clearly well funded , cinematography , huge star cast , good production value what else do you need more to make a good movie ? Talent and that is what the director and writer completely lacked. Until and unless preet harpal the mai. Character is producer I don't know why he was casted. This film is black spot from all releases of 2019 or let's say history. There is no plot ,acting is bad ( which of course is due to bad direction) that you will be amazed how can someone make such a bad film. Karamjeet anmol,bn sharma,gugu Gill,yograj Singh ,Mandy thakar ,hobby Dhaliwal all good actors wasted. It's high time Punjabi industry shuns untalented technicians before they run out of producers
Ardaas Karaan (2019)
Not as good as original
The original ardaas was a master piece and what you will get from this part is not even half of it. Of course audience living abroad will like it more cause it deals with their life and ordeals. But on a strict story telling purpose the film fails . It surely depicts problems faced by NRI families all over as the problem is closer to their homes and hearts.
From storytelling view point it fails to connect you deeply to the problems faced by its characters. Film starts good with depiction of these old characters childhood days but why these scenes are there you don't understand. Of course from these two kids two are still friends and live in Canada with their families. But film takes a weired turn when making rauni decides to commit suicide. Film completely lacks justification for his decision. Anyways when this old man is discussing his death plan he with his old mates gippy grewal character suddenly sees opportunity to make money by taking him to a trip before he does his deed.
In between comes gurpreet ghuggi who is told by his doctor exactly days and even hours he will live as he is a cancer patient . Now while all these guys take you on tour of Canada film seems more like a Canadian tourist ad then a film.
During a stay they meet a guy who is rich and invites them to home. But by just spending a night over that guy and his sister opens up their heart and reveal their problems almost as if they are robots ready to speak on a press of a button.
Anyways they move on while ghuggi occasionally delivering his long monologues as if he has attained nirvana already.
And as the writer got out of plots ghuggi takes them back to gippys house . For what ? Just to introduce you to his and his wife's problem. And due to lack of plots writer takes along gippys wife so that they can introduce some extra element to already boring affair.
All these folks convince the old man to drop his idea to commit suicide . Not to mention I. This 6 day tour the rich man and his sister ,who got enlightened by ghuggi open up a orphanage (in 6 days yes). And when they return ghuggi who has been precisely told by his doctor dies exactly at that hour.
Cutting short my review film is an ok watch. Compared to all below average releases except shadaa. This one is second best. But once you see ardaas part one you will feel that this movie is more about Canada then about its original title
Blackia (2019)
A very good watch different then usual
Two films came in a week Blackia and Dil diyan gallan. Being a Parmish fan I saw that first and then I saw this on Amazon prime. But even due to my bias towards dev kharoud the main actor I must say this film is surely better made. The film is surely different and better shot. Background music guy is on top of his game.
So why I am adding a review ? Because if you on IMDb you surely looking for better reviews from serious movie lovers.
So my personal conclusion is from start of year 2019 this is the best film. And credit should be given where it is due. Dil diyan gallan ,muklawa and super boring Chandigarh Amritsar Chandigarh are a below average films. It is still not up to my personal marks but when all films are bad you choose from the best. But I won't call it bad. Watch and add your review. Punjabi audience deserves better films and this is one of them

Dil Diyan Gallan (2019)
Good story badly told
This film seemed different from its trailer and surely it is different but man it is so bad that you have to see it to believe it. The film is about a social media influencer Natasha waraich who goes to London for her video logs where she meets character of parmish who is a over the top desi student. Now for what reason and why she hires him for handling her camera is a mystery as he doesn't know how to operate the camera. But let's get over it , as they shoot video logs the director wants to show that they develop a liking for each other which obviously you as an audience won't even feel it. It fails to show how that bond becomes intense . To create some confusion the writer introduces a dialogue where parmish says he loves a girl from back home and was to marry, which you will later see is already married and I. London herself but why did he lie to her is again something the writer has left the burden on you to figure out.
Anyhow then comes the obvious twist Natasha's boyfriend also comes to London he too is just like Natasha a social media influencer and we see stark difference of the artificial life of both of them to a student struggler Laddi. But don't get your hopes too high as soon Natasha decides to go back to India. And not Laddi and Natasha feels that loss which obviously you won't feel. And soon Natasha's bf proposes her to marry and right when she is selecting a langha for herself she sees a video posted on her account by a hacker friend of Laddi ,angel priya where Laddi express his feelings without any eota of reason. And that's it folks
. Yes that's it . And then we are suddenly brought back to present where sister of neeru bajwa is reading all this and wonders what happened to story of Natasha and Laddi. But as most of you who were expecting a great ending you will feel betrayed as if producers suddenly ran out of money and decided to end it. Go watch it . I gave 4 stars 2 for story 2 for cinematography. It could have been different but fails to impress
Dakuaan Da Munda (2018)
A really different film
This is one movie I liked after watching kaka ji I had low expectations from this movie but man it was surely a good movie. I really appreciate the makers of the film , dev kharoud seems convincing this one.
Without giving any spoilers I would say if you want to see a good movie on Amazon prime and a Punjabi one then this is number one choice it is totally different not your usual gangster thing neither slapstick average comedy but a movie with a soul
Muklawa (2019)
Same story told badly
This is worst case of taking audience for granted . The story is same as you have seen in many other movies specially bambukaat . The production value is zero you don't feel that you are watching a story set in the time period . There is absolutely no story no twist no surprises . And even comedy is missing which usually is enough to make you feel that you have received some value from your money.
Direction and cinematography are the worst I have seen better web series on YouTube. And above all that I think as their are two movies this week I really wish I had seen Chandigarh Amritsar Chandigarh at least it is different in its setting. It's high time for Punjabi movie makers to respect pocket money of Punjabi movie goers . This film is surely a low level product made to make a quick buck
Banjara: The truck driver (2018)
Worst film
Can't believe it's written by dheeraj rattan , of course it's not Babu maan fault he can't act and he doesn't care to its producer who should know it.
Kaka Ji (2019)
Totally waste of resources and time
This is one of the most wasteful movies of 2019. It's high time Punjabi film makers understand that they can't serve DVD standard movies to a multiplex going audience. The movie seems like some random scenes have been edited and made into a movie. It starts with dull introduction of characters which have absolutely no depth. The story is set in 90s but it absolutely never tells or show it's audience. Cinematography is flat how low is that the guy winks and girl falls in love wow. Absolutely a waste. Watch it for killing time and to observe how a bad movie is made
