Exciting times! I remember watching classics like Long Da Lashkara, Chan Pardesi, and Sarpanch back when I was a little 'un. Then came a decade or so where there were practically no Punjabi films of any worth whatsoever. Things finally seem to be picking up again though :o) We've had a couple of flicks that've done quite well (The well known singer, Harbhajan Mann, starred in the first couple of films which got people into Punjabi films again). Since then Gurdas Mann has rejoined the fray (Waris Shah is out soon). The films are looking slicker and with decent music again.
One of the most exciting developments for me is the participation of actors (not singer-actors) like Jimmy Shergill, Juhi Chawla, and Manav Vij. At last we've got heroes/heroines that can attract younger audiences - no more pot-bellied types prancing about in a kurta pyjama! The glamour-factor arriveth! :o)
