A dwelling rockstar among the present day teen, who is also a drug addict. When a sikh sub-inspecter Sartaj Singh (aka Diljit Dosanjh) who fights against the increasing drug abuse in Punjab. What lead him to that? He saw his own brother becoming a victim to it. Then we have Preet Sahani (aka Kareena Kapoor) a doctor running an anti-drugs centre who is also working on omitting the fact from the society. Actually, the 'lassi' and 'sarson k khet' wala Punjab is not how we see it. The land of five rivers is a place ruled over by cartels, heroins, cocaine and corrupt cops. Yes from cops, this comes in, the corrupt cops are the ones nurturing the use of drugs in the state, obviously, they allow them in and out of drugs with exchange of huge capital.
Review:
A world you may not be inhabiting, but you definitely cannot ignore. Audience can take a ride through the present day scene of Punjab. Shahid, obvio is a cherry to the pie. He has done a awesome work. Trolling and tossing today's generation. Alia became a heart-catcher with her eye-popping slangs. She has very well showcased the fact that she has been abused and miss-treated. Infact, even she was into drugs. Watching the movie you can actually get teary eyed for once at Shahid and Alia's poor plight. The songs all match the plot. Kareena's attempt to omit the ill-fact for the society was commendable. And between the trail of 'ghush-khor' cops Diljit has done a awesome job. The fact that his very own brother was a victim to drugs and was nearing to death made him stand stronger against the notion. Chaubey has done as awesome drama job with Alia and Shahid's dialogue delivery. A lot and lot of dialogues are in Punjabi but the subtitles are there at your rescue. Diljit's first hindi movie has encarved impressions. Yes! The liberal use of slangs may be unhearable for some people, else, you can concentrate more on the cause. So, i would suggest you to definitely watch this flick, because there is no reason not to.
