Phillauri (2017)
9/10
Best movie in its class.. with serious romance, light comedy.. and pleasant ending
29 March 2017
Movie was far more better than my expectations.. I consider this best movie.. because

1) It start with perfect picturization of a village of Punjab, am not sure how close it was, but indeed it was beautiful

2) Heart touching and holy romance story

3) Superb acting by Suraj Sharma, Anushka , Diljit & Mehrene. Honestly I could not take off my eyes from screen during movie..

4) Mild touch of comedy.. kept the movie very light

5) Very close grip on movie, not predictable at all for me. I thought it would be somewhat related to honor killing, but came out something else..and end was very pleasant.. and unexpected one..

6) Perfect balance was maintained in switching between flashback and present, timing and duration was so accurate, they never lose the grip and did't allow us to get bored

7) Sweet continuous melody in background mainly post break. There are many songs.. but very closely related to context of movie..unlike most of the recent movies.. where songs are forcefully fitted only to increase the length of movie..

I am not Punjabi, and existing lyrics and songs are really good, but feel if they had kept lyrics in simple Punjabi.. it would have been much more effective... and closer to the theme of movie.
