Punjabi hits

And it isn’t surprising, to see box office ringing with a a sizeable profit return. Punjabi movie Dharti recorded a collection of Rs 35 Lakhs on the first day of its release in Punjab. And if numbers make a difference, Punjabi cinema is definitely on the fast moving track. |

Sheer bliss
