Diljit has given a very endearing performance as Chamkila. Very natural acting. Excellent singing.
Chamkila remained grounded in the midst of all his fame, and Diljit has been able to bring that to screen.
I was already in love with AR Rahman's songs in the movie before watching the movie. Chamkila's original folk songs overshadowed even ARR work. While the lyrics are playful, the singer-duo gives a lot of attentiveness to the notes and how the songs need to be sung. All that sincerity towards the making has come out nicely.
The crux of the movie is heart breaking. You are left with a huge void.
Chamkila had the lovely philosophy of "Don't try to understand life. Just live it".
The story line is at once inspiring and tragic. Exposes the two-faced society.
Kudos to Imtiaz Ali for bringing out this story with neatly integrated shots of real life and reel life.
Endearing acting by the actress as well who plays the female singer Amarjot. Subtle build up of affection between the two has been brought out nicely.
A must watch!
