    Tarsem Jassar rlly saving the Punjabi cinema atm First half was realistic but then became abit far fetched. Crazy and very realistic plot twist and was actually so sad. Powerful message definitely.

    Great action film, with a strong message. It was so cool seeing main characters with turbans in such an action film light, they just looked so cool. There were some really emotional moments that also got the flood works going because a lot of it was quite relatable to the…
