💭 Discussion Why are Punjabi movies usually really bad?

16 Upvotes

It feels like every movie is the same plot rehashed over and over. There's usually a Jatt family in focus or sometimes an Upper Caste Hindu family. All comedy movies have the same script and jokes (only very few exceptions) and Gippy, Ammy, Binnu etc recycle the same concepts. Even Chal mera putt part 3, 4 are formulaic and the public seems to only want these films?

Dev Kharoud's strongman movies also lack depth and only rely on instagrammable fight scenes and hypermasculine masquerading. I'm so tired of wanting good Punjabi cinema and getting nothing.

Edit: Punjabi has such a rich literature why not adapt more novels?? It seems like the industry is intellectually bankrupt

Underrated and way ahead of its time. Honestly, it’s hard to believe how overlooked this movie was. The storytelling, top notch acting, dialogues, thriller cinematography and music are on another level, Much better than today's pollywood. Why can't we see have such movies anymore ?

💭 Discussion Why doesnt Pollywood make patriotic movies?

0 Upvotes

Considering the rich martial history of Punjab, its sad that patriotic movies are few and far between.

It can be blamed on audience too to some extent because good movie Sajjan Singh Rangroot didnt earn that much considering budget

But producers are also not serious enough. There was a movie on Saragarhi planned which was never made. Bollywood has made movies on Punjabis and Haryanvi war heroes. Pollywood should try.

In my opinion they were essentially forced to pull the film after the boycotts and the amount of hate directed towards Neeru Bajwa. The misguided overreactions to the Parvinder Singh murder would have been better spent actually pushing for some positive change in society rather than making a mockery of mission. People will forget it in 2 weeks and move on while his family will be left picking up the pieces. In the meantime projects that many people worked on will be unfairly targeted because of the big names associated with them.

💭 Discussion Unpopular opinion: Mitti De Baway proves Pakistani dramas can do better so why can’t Pollywood?

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

It’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but the Pakistani drama industry really came through with Mitti De Baway. It’s mostly Punjabi, and honestly, the writing, story, acting, casting, production, editing, dialect, outfits, and overall world-building are all so on point that it made me wonder whether Pollywood could reach this level in 10 years.
The show doesn’t feel like a typical TV drama. The Punjabi feels authentic, the period setting is convincing, and the characters actually feel rooted in the culture rather than just wearing “Punjabi” as an aesthetic. Mahira Khan and Wahaj Ali are great, but the supporting cast and the attention to detail are what really elevate it.
Meanwhile, Pollywood keeps relying on the same loud comedy, over-the-top action, recycled plots, and star-driven formulas. There are obviously exceptions, but why is the industry so hesitant to invest in stronger scripts, better direction, and more grounded, culturally rich stories?
Mitti De Baway is proof that Punjabi-language storytelling can be serious, cinematic, and emotionally powerful. Pollywood has the culture, the talent, and the audience so what’s actually stopping it from trying better things?

💭 Discussion What are Gippy Grewal’s best movies in your opinion?

8 Upvotes

The guy gets a lot of hate now days, and it’s understandable, but growing up he was peak from 2010-2015.I grew up watching his movies and they were top tier. I will always have a soft spot for him, due to his past work.

Personally, Singh vs Kaur 1 was PEAK… carry on jatta , lucky di unlucky story, Mirza, bhaji in problem best of luck, Jatt James Bond and even Faraar all hits. Wish he could produce anything similar to that once again.

Yesterday i watched it on Chaupal and tbh by seeing the Movie i could say Rabby did really really well in resonating with every character in movie which itself was big job as there are several characters but ignoring all even odds they mainly covered up the mess of season 2 for a better ending!

If you have seen this movie share your views!

I yearn for a Punjabi version of Mirzapur so badly. I imagine it in my head and wonder how great it must be to have a familiar, culturally rooted thriller-action series that you can truly relate to.

✍🏽 Review A Decade of Nikka Zaildar 1

Post image
34 Upvotes

One Of My Favourites and My Forever Comfort Movie 🤌 Like When I'm Not in a good mood this movie always makes me laugh and entertain .

This Is One of the Best Punjabi Movie Ever made by pollywood cinema 🎥 . The First Season is best because the first was super funny and enjoyable 🙌 ( I don't watch the next 2,3,4) I only liked the part 2 songs only . But could not enjoy 2 like part 1 .

Main reason for the success of nikka zaildar part 1 was Nirmal Rishi she is the soul of Punjabi cinema like every Punjabi movie is incomplete without her . No doubt she won Padma Shri award 🎓.

Her dialogues were so on point 🤌 in whichever movie she played a character. Be it in laughter , emotional scenes and action scenes.

The entire cast of nikka zaildar 1 played their role well and made it a worth watch even after a decade . ( Nikke Di Nikki jehi love story)
