A view Jatt and Juliet 3. (Etiquette: neerubaajwa,
More than a decade later Jatt and Julietand its sequel became the highest-grossing film in the history of Punjabi cinema and the highest grossing film of 2012 go ahead jattaRescuing the film industry from years of inactivity, the third film in the franchise, powered by Diljit Dosanjh’s high-impact charisma and his proven chemistry with Neeru Bajwa, has the potential to set some records of its own.
Both lead actors are eleven years older, although the two characters they play are not that old in real life. But Dosanjh and Bajwa have turned back the clock without revealing the tension. Dosanjh is a much bigger star than the first two Jatt and Juliet The films came. Bajwa too has strengthened his position in the industry. Together and individually, they worked in the right direction.
consistency, varnishes give zest Jatt and Juliet 3 This is a different edge than what has come before. The direction has been handed over to Jagdeep Sidhu, who is also the writer of the film. His creations work in a way that feels like it was just waiting to take off.
This unabashedly mediocre and effortless romantic comedy ticks all the boxes, but falls a bit short in trying to convey a plethora of messages about gender equality, social harmony and other issues of contemporary relevance. More on this later.
Diljit Dosanjh himself opens the film with a peppy song, which is featured in a scene where the character of Fateh Singh – the name is the same, but the man is not the same – is woken up by his mother. He is a new recruit in the Punjab Police.
When Fateh arrives at the police station on his first day of work, he discovers that his immediate boss is Senior Constable Pooja Singh (Neeru Bajwa). The stage is set for a love affair, full of witty banter, but their personal relationship is threatened by lies and misleading claims.
Police work takes a backseat as Fateh and Puja, both for different reasons, plan to meet and marry each other. Their desperation to impress each other leads to several hilarious situations that threaten to backfire on them.
On an assignment in Bristol to capture Daisy (Jasmin Bajwa), who is accused of deceiving a prospective groom in Punjab and fleeing to the UK, Fateh and Pooja hit a self-imposed wall of misunderstandings.
Having faced hardships as a boy growing up in poverty, Fateh swears by the power of money to change lives. He claims he doesn’t mind taking bribes. But Puja is a man of integrity. Dirty money is not her cup of tea. But, as things turn out, this is only one point of disagreement between the two.
over the past decade or so Jatt and Juliet 2Diljit Dosanjh’s career has reached great heights in many fields of cinema and music. His tremendous star power is his identity. Jatt and Juliet 3 Completely dependent on banks.
Replete with sharp verbal banter, seamlessly flowing one-liners, and punchlines that mostly hit the mark, Jatt and Juliet 3 This is a mass entertainment program that does not require the use of cheap equipment to attract viewers.
It tells the story of love and its loss, but remains firmly within its own self-imposed norms of purity. Like its predecessors, this film too proceeds without scenes of physical intimacy or vulgar dialogues, keeping its committed family audience in mind.
The formula created in the Anurag Singh-directed and Dheeraj Rattan-written films still largely remains, although Jatt and Juliet 3 It moves forward in search of thematic variety and novelty. To a large extent, it succeeds.
The film moves quickly through one thing after another, but fails to keep its focus on the adventures of the lovely Fateh Singh and his banter with Pooja. Of course, the film is at its best when it sticks to other things.
In Bristol, Fateh finds two cafes that stand next to each other but with a huge gap between them created by competition for customers, with young Daisy competing with two uncle-like men (Nasir Chinyoti and Akram Udas).
One of these cafes is called Lahanda Punjab and the other is called Chahda Punjab. Fateh partners with one of the two parties, but without expressing his sense of solidarity with immigrants from the subcontinent.
To put it more bluntly, Jatt and Juliet 3 also features Shampy (Rana Ranbir) and his father (BN Sharma) to add comical interludes to the story. While both actors are undoubtedly funny as ever, their antics seem a bit boring at times.
But it doesn’t take any more effort Jatt and Juliet 3 Its long and winding denouement sees Fateh running from one incident to the next in an attempt to correct the mistake he has unknowingly committed to his own detriment.
Jagdeep Sidhu’s screenplay finds room to hint, albeit superficially, at important issues relating to Punjab’s social and political adversities and the migration of its youth to foreign lands in search of better opportunities.
More specifically, Jatt and Juliet 3 It touches upon the subject of women’s place in marriage and the workplace. All of this is presented with humour. If the film lacks anything else, Diljit Dosanjh makes up for it and enhances it with his charm.
