Punjab 1984 (2014)
10/10
Astonishing and heartbreaking
28 June 2014
Well, to begin, I cannot remember the last time I could not get up at the end of a movie. I literally could not rise up from my seat. My body felt as though it were being weighed down by something considerably larger and heavier than myself. I stepped into that theatre not entirely knowing what to expect, And then the movie started and I was taken aback by the realness of the images before me, by the humanness of the families being portrayed and by the storyline that was developing. It drew feeling out of you. It's rare that a movie lives up to its hype, even rarer that the hype is transcended by the actual achievement. Punjab 1984 does both. Aided by powerful performances and cinematography.

I might not agree with some of the facts shown in second half or of the portraying the film's perception of the actions of Sikh Freedom Fighters.

The acting was phenomenal. Every one did justice to their role but Kiron Kher and Diljit Dosanjh were simply outstanding. It is must watch movie and one of the best punjabi movie I have ever seen.
