Return of Singh as King

The NRIs, as audience and investors, have brought about a revival of the Punjabi film industry, writes Jangveer Singh
THE images of Punjabi people and culture in films is changing — for the better. This is noticeable in a number of recent films such as Jab We Met and Heroes. Kitsch as shown in Singh is Kinng is an exception. The Punjabi flavour has become a good selling point, including for producers of music albums. The Punjabi film industry has also awakened to this reality and the potential it has for Punjabi movies abroad.

‘Punjabi Yash Chopra’
 HE is the Yash Chopra of Punjab’s fledgling film industry. Manmohan Singh is called so because as he has also worked as a cinematographer with the Yash Raj banner for nearly 25 years. It has been seven years since Manmohan Singh made his first Punjabi film Jee Ayan Nu, which was a slow-starter but turned out to be a hit.
