Punjab 1984

This is by far the best Punjabi movie ever made on this topic of relationship between a mother and son who suffered during the troubled 80s. Acting was excellent and so were the songs. Only the second half was bit slow and the director got carried away in trying to combine politics and terrorism. Second half was also too long, the movie could have been cut short by at least 15 minutes. The songs were very touchy and were there as per the situation. Dilijit Dosanjh, Kirron Kher both played their parts well. But the surprises were Rana Ranbir and Pawan Malhotra. Rana Ranbir did full justice and Pawan Malhotra played it so well that you actually hate that guy, that is acting. I am from the Majha area and could relate very well to all the places mentioned in the movie not to forget the Majhail dialict in the movie from the extras (the villagers). A very sincere attempt to share the sorrows of the mothers/fathers who lost their sons (Hindus/Sikhs and Policemen) and some of them don't even know what happened to them. The last lady showed at end titles, who does not even have a photo of her son, as she has lost her mental balance and gets agitated when reminded about her son, brought tears to my eyes. These great mothers still suffer for no fault of theirs. Kudos to the neighbours of this lady, who take care of her.
