Around the period of 1975-1985, there was a time when people who were not originally from Punjab were being driven out. In various incidents, some Hindus were also murdered. This is the story of "Bandaa Singh Chaudhary" (Arshad Warsi). An attempt is made to expel him from Punjab. He is threatened and attempts are made on his life.
But he does not give up and takes up arms. Bandaa's wife, Lalli, is played by Meher Vij, who stands by him. What happens next in the film, you'll have to watch to find out.
"Bandaa Singh Chaudhary" is technically quite strong. The camera work is good, with many shots being quite impressive. The music and background score are also well done. The editing is sharp, meaning nothing feels unnecessary. Overall, Abhishek Saxena's direction is precise.
Talking about the acting, Arshad Warsi brings the character to life. Meher Vij fits perfectly in her role, not just with her beauty but also giving off a strong vibe during action sequences. Kiara Khanna also shines and wins hearts. Additionally, Shataf Figar, Shilpi Marwah, Jeeveshu Ahluwalia, and Alisha Chopra also deliver commendable performances.
We give this film four stars. It will not only entertain you thoroughly but also introduce you to historical tales. The best part about this film is that it is so clean and wholesome that you can watch it not just with friends, but also with friends and children.
