Amar Singh Chamkila Dialogues: Diljit Dosanjh becomes Elvis of Punjab
The trailer for Imtiaz Ali’s new musical, Amar Singh Chamkila, was launched in Mumbai . Set in Punjab in the turbulent 80s, the film stars Diljit Dosanjh as legendary folk singer Amar Singh Chamkila. Parineeti Chopra essays Chamkila’s wife and musical partner Amarjot.
The trailer shows the rise of Chamkila, regarded as the ‘Elvis Presley of Punjab’, as he navigates success and cynicism, idolatry and infamy.
Chamkila an immensely popular singer-songwriter and live performer noted for his frank and bawdy lyrics was slain, along with Amarjot, by unidentified gunmen in Mehsampur in Punjab in 1988. His death at the age of 27 has remained a subject of great mystery and speculation in Punjab. It was alleged, though not proved, that he was killed by Sikh separatists.
Ar Rahman has composed the music for Amar Singh Chamkila with lyrics by Irshad Kamil. The film is slated to premiere on Netflix on April...
