The long-awaited 'Amar Singh Chamkila' has premiered on Netflix, igniting a flurry of reactions from Twitter users eager to share their thoughts on the film. With the weekend on the horizon, delving into these Twitter reviews could offer valuable insight before you settle in for a movie night.
About ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’
‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ is a captivating musical-biopic-drama that delves into the intriguing life of the enigmatic singer, Amar Singh Chamkila, portrayed by Diljit Dosanjh. The film chronicles his rise from a budding artist to a controversial figure in the music industry. Tragically, his life comes to an abrupt end when he and his second wife, Amarjot Kaur, played by Parineeti Chopra, are fatally shot along with other band members during a performance in Punjab.
The movie's soundtrack is adorned with Amar Singh Chamkila's iconic songs, skillfully performed by the lead actors Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra, along with other talented artists. In addition to Chamkila's classics, the soundtrack features original compositions by the renowned A.R. Rahman. These compositions span across various genres, from heartfelt ballads and romantic melodies to powerful feminist anthems, enriching the film's narrative with depth and emotion.
‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ Trailer
The trailer for the film was unveiled some time ago, offering a glimpse into Diljit Dosanjh's portrayal of 'Chamkila,' the renowned artist who skyrocketed to fame in the 1980s despite humble beginnings in poverty. His music, though celebrated by many, stirred controversy and resentment among certain quarters, ultimately leading to his tragic assassination at the young age of 27. In the trailer, we witness a young man (Diljit Dosanjh) from a Punjab village thrust into the limelight during a live performance at an akhada.
Despite his objection to being called Chamkila, the organizer brushes it off, predicting that his name would be forgotten anyway. Yet, Chamkila's music strikes a chord with the villagers, particularly the women, even as conservative voices criticize the provocative lyrics of his songs. Eventually, he finds a musical partner in Amarjot Kaur (Parineeti Chopra), setting the stage for their journey together.
