Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra lend their voices to the Imtiaz Ali film which was shot largely in real locations. Their natural portrayal and the realistic look and feel of rustic Punjab make for a promising watch.
Opening up about the film’s making, Imtiaz Ali shared, “Stories of young musicians that challenge the norms of society, who see unprecedented success and then have violent ends is, unfortunately, a worldwide phenomenon. The life and times of Chamkila raised important questions for society but ultimately it is a celebration of the life of an artist, the story of a musician who could never give up his first love – Music.”
Amar Singh Chamkila will be released on April 12 on OTT.
