MOVIE REVIEW – BAMBUKAT (PUNJABI) – 2016

Today we are here with a review a review of a beautiful, lively and healthy movie namely – BAMBUKAT (meaning Motorcycle). The movie is from the makers of ANGREZ and LOVE PUNJAB and is directed by Pawan Batra. Like ANGREZ too Pankaj Batra in this movie too takes the audience back in the era of 1960s when owning a motorcycle got a great amount of respect from the entire village.

BAMBUKAT is the story of 2 sisters: Pakko (Simi Chahal) and Simmi (Sheetal Thakur) and their husbands: Chanan Singh (Ammy Virk) and Resham Singh (Binnu Dhillon). Chanan is from a humble family of farmers and dreams of getting ‘Bambukat’ like his brother-in-law Resham Singh because he feels that in order to gain the respect in the eyes of his in-laws, he also needs to own a Bambukat. So his love for buying a Bambukat lands him into a trouble which accidently put him behind the bars and what follows next and how he proved his love for Bambukat and for ‘Pakko’ is the rest of the story, for which you will have to watch the movie.

Director Pankaj Batra has successfully put the old Punjabi scenario on screen. Some scenes from the movie are that much perfect that makes unbelievable that it’s a Punjabi movie. Direction has taken the story of a common man and his dreams exactly on the right path. All the songs from the movie sound really good and back ground score is good but some songs seem to like disconnecting from the story.

Bambukat is a story of 2 sisters of different complexions. The biased approach of their family could also be seen in their marriages as the dark skinned is married to a poor family and the fair toned is married to a government officer. The title is very apt for the movie. It’s a complete family entertainment movie. The movie contains a mixture of comedy and drama and ensures that viewers are fully entertained throughout.

Star Peformance:-

Ammy Virk shows us yet again proves that he is in industry to stay. The rural charm that this guy has is simply mind blowing and he is outstanding throughout the movie. He got into the skin of Channan Singh with much ease and carried off the character with full confidence.

Simi Chahal has done a wonderful job as a debutant. Her cute looks, her expressions and earthen make up made her character Pakko, pretty believable.

Binnu Dhillon is once again looked great as Resham Singh and no one but him could have done this character so well. His moustache, his body language, his portrayal of Resham was outstanding.

Sheetal Thakur was pleasant on screen but she wasn’t really given much to do in the film. Other artists were also good.

Final words:

If you are a dream lover then, Bambukat is a must watch movie for you because this will make clear to you that how much hard work is needed to fulfill our dreams.

My ratings for this movie is 3.5 out of 5 stars.

So keep following the page, good day till the next review
