Imtiaz Ali’s film ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ pays homage to the legendary singer from Punjab, capturing the essence of the region in the 1970s and 1980s. The movie immerses viewers in the fields and villages of Punjab, offering a captivating glimpse into that era.
Shot extensively in Punjab, the movie includes scenes filmed in Mehsampur, the actual village where Amar Singh Chamkila tragically lost his life to masked assailants.
Netflix’s latest release ‘Wild Wild Punjab’, lives up to its title by vividly depicting the bylanes and neighbourhoods of Punjab.
It humorously portrays the story of a man grappling with a breakup and confronts life’s challenges head-on with the support of his four friends as they embark on a road trip from Patiala to Pathankhot.
In ‘Jab We Met,’ starring Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor, Ali masterfully portrayed the tale of two young Punjabi individuals.
The film’s depiction of Ganne ke khet, tractors, and the vibrant city of Bhatinda remains unforgettable. Iconic scenes, such as those set in the mustard fields, beautifully capture the blossoming love story between Geet and Aditya while encapsulating the spirited charm of Punjab throughout the movie.
The 2018 romantic drama ‘Manmarziyaan,’ starring Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Abhishek Bachchan, was predominantly filmed across various locations in Punjab. (All images: IMDb)
