'Sat Sri Akal' is
running successfully in all the theaters. In particular, at
Delhi, where it is running "packed houses" for the
consecutive 5th week in 7 shows daily in two cinemas (Waves-Rojouri
Garden & Delite Cinema), has beaten all the previous records
of any Punjabi movie in Delhi. About 39 years ago, "Nanak
Naam Jahaz Hai" ran for 4 weeks in Delhi. Besides providing
neat and clean family entertainment, it is spreading the
message of love, values & faith across the world. And even
after 4 weeks of release, it is running successfully in 4
theatres of USA too.
Mr Paramjit Singh
Sarna, President, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC),
was so impressed and thrilled after watching the film that
he has released a letter addressing to all the Principals of
the schools stating, "The socio-religious Punjabi Movie
titled "Sat Sri Akal" is showing sikh tenets, traditional
values and belief towards the Gurbani enriched in Shri Guru
Granth Sahib Ji. The film would help the students to know
their Sikh traditions in a practical manner. You are advised
to issue a circular to all the students of your school or
institute to watch the film." |
A joint production of
Mata Triptaji Charitable Trust, Chandigarh, and Frankfinn
Entertainment Company Pvt Ltd., Sat Sri Akal film is a humble
tribute commemorating 300 years of Gurta Gaddi Diwas
(Coronation) of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Mr K S Kohli, Chairman,
Frankfinn Group said, "The earning of this film will go to Mata
Triptaji Charitable Trust. The film is setting new benchmarks
for filmed entertainment in Punjabi language."
Dr Bhupinder Singh
Bhoop, Dean, Punjab University and Hony. Executive Producer of
Sat Sri Akal, said, "Since decades, a void has been felt in the
Punjabi film industry for such a classic film that truly
represents our rich traditions of Punjabi culture, love and
faith. The cinemascope film Sat Sri Akal with digital Dolby
sound is a sincere endeavor towards providing neat family
entertainment propagating a way of life impregnated with rich
heritage of true Punjabi culture."
Written by Mr
Arvinderjit Singh (Kittu) and directed by Mr Kamal Sahni, the
movie revolves around traditional values, love, sentiments, and
colossal faith towards the Almighty God. Particularly, it tends
to inculcate immense belief towards Sri Guru Granth Saheb Ji and
the Gurbani enshrined within. The film tends to enlighten one on
how Guru Granth Sahib is practical Guru in this modern world.
For the first time, the "true to life" ambience of pilgrimage
places like Sri Harmandar Saheb (Amritsar), Sri Hazur Saheb (Nanded)
and Sri Bangla Sahib (Delhi) is being shown on a 35 mm format.
It has a decent love
story going through ups and downs of life, splendidly told
amongst heart rendering Gurbani shabads sung by legends and
foot-tapping songs. Music, a spell-binding and unique fusion of
tradition and modernity, with 8 Gurbani shabads and 3 songs, all
by celebrity singers, is one of the major highlights of the
film. Three shabads in the soundtrack are rendered by the
celebrated icon, Jagjit Singh in his soothing style. "After the
movie 'Nanak Naam Jahaj' this will be the second super hit film
because of its music and family entertainment", said Jagjit
Singh in Delhi. Mr Jagjit Singh praised the music director, Mr
Ravinder Singh too that he never thought a city like Ludhiana
had such a tremendous talent. About Ishmeet, Jagjit Singh said,
"Ishmeet was an excellent singer and he got everything in very
early age."
The impressive star
cast includes Kimi, the most established actress of the
contemporary Punjabi cinema. Manpreet Singh, a turbaned Sikh guy
from Bollywood plays the male lead against Kimi. Key roles have
been played by the established Bollywood actors like Arun Bali
and Dolly Minhas, besides Avtar Gill, Manmeet Singh, Vivek Shauq,
Neelu Kohli, and Nirmal Rishi. Pooja Tandon and Sonpreet are the
promising newcomers making their maiden appearance in a mega
film. Besides a good and captivating story, the Punjabi folk,
good humour, romance sans obscenity, picturesque locales, have
been imparted tremendous significance in the film. |
