What happens
Bajre Da Sitta is a 2022 Punjabi period drama directed by Jass Grewal, and produced by Ammy Virk. Along with Virk, the film stars Tania and Noor Chahal in leading roles. Other main actors include Guggu Gill, B N Sharma, and Nirmal Rishi. The drama takes its title from the song of the same name, and was inspired by the sisters Surinder Kaur and Prakash Kaur, who first sang it. The film was released in India on 15 July 2022. Set in the early 1960s, the plot follows the aspirations of two young women, Roop and Basant, who wish to sing, but are restrained by a patriarchal mindset. Following an offer from a records company, Roop's father is persuaded to allow them to at first sign up for one single and later an album, on the condition that their identies are not disclosed. Both are a huge success and when a second edition of the album is released with their names and photographs on the cover, the men in the family become irate at the resulting public attention. Roop is hastily married to Ratan, who makes use of his own male power in disallowing Roop a voice, until he sees the magic in it. The film was generally received favourably. On its release The Times of India noted that the film portrayed general Punjabi male opinions of the time, particularly the stereotypical strict father. It described the plot as beautifully constructed, although to some extent the ending is easy to predict. The film re-popularised the song Bajre da sitta. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
