Snowman

After watching the best Punjabi movie ever made in 'The legend of Maula Jatt' I had the unfortunate experience of watching one of the worst in 'Snowman' with in a couple of months time.

There's a song in the movie which goes by 'eh ki ho reha hai' and me and my wife were literally looking at each other and thinking the same about the movie.

The best part was that it was 2hrs long and not 2:30 or 3:00hrs or else this movie might have become the first Punjabi movie where we would have left the cinema mid way.

Not even a talented actor like Rana Ranbir could save it.

Punjabi audience is ready to accept movies made on different concepts other than the comedy movies but Punjabi cinema need talented people to produce/direct the same as well.

Only one good thing about this movie - Neeru Bajwa. She looked amazing throughout the movie. Sorry, but the rest was awful, particularly the dramatic music, what was the all about?? The plot was ridiculous. Everything was just slow motion and loud dramatic music! Best to steer clear (unless you're a fan of Neeru's) With the exception of MOH - which was crazy good), Punjabi movies are a let down more often than not - such a shame. Did see Criminal, also with Neeru, that was a similar type of film but slightly better. This film just became farcical, didn't make any sense at all. Don't do it, 'snow point'

Snowman is a captivating Punjabi film that brilliantly combines the thrills of an adrenaline-pumping storyline with the chilling beauty of breathtaking cinematography. Directed by the visionary AMAN KHATKAR, this movie takes the audience on an unforgettable journey through the majestic snow-capped mountains of BC canada, where suspense and emotion intertwine like the intricate patterns of a snowflake.

From the very first frame, Snowman grips you with its stunning visuals. The cinematography is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each shot feels like a postcard from a winter wonderland, with sweeping landscapes that capture the serene beauty of the snowy terrain while also evoking a sense of isolation that perfectly complements the film's tension. The clever use of light and shadow creates an eerie atmosphere, enhancing the film's thrilling moments while making the viewer shiver in both excitement and fear.

At the heart of this gripping narrative is the powerhouse performance by the lead actor Arshi Khatkar.

Thought i'd try this film out as i haven't seen many foreign language films before, especially Punjabi ones. And i have to say that i was stunned by how godawful this film was. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece by any metric, but the entire film felt like a joke, like i was being pranked.

For a start, the film is unintentionally hilarious on many fronts, including the soundtrack which is intrusively loud and the lyrics to the songs are comedically terrible ('What is happening? What is happening? What is happening?' Indeed! WTF is actually happening??). The story was both threadbare and didn't make much sense, the acting was laughable with everyone either absurdly over-the-top or in a coma, and the director thought he was cool by making almost every character walk in slllloooo -mootiiiooon constantly even when doing something as mundane as pouring a cup of water.

The story and characters didn't hold my attention and i didn't care how it ended. I saw another review saying they were on the edge of their seat. Yes, i'l admit i was too, desperate for the credits to roll so i can do a Usain Bolt impersonation from my seat to the exit.

Dire!!! Avoid this garbage at all costs unless you want your sanity tested.

40% is the movie and 60% is just title track playing in the background. Average acting and average dialogue delivery. I though it would change punjabi cinema but hell no.

The only character that is good is the just Snowman itself. Everything else seem pushed to complete movie.

Just to increase the length of the movie, the title track is being played in the whole movie with the slow mo.

I had great expectations from this movie.

Rana Ranbir is a good actor and writer and the reason I went to watch the first show of the movie.

Direction could be better also if they get good actors. May be then this movie will get good reviews.
