A commemoration of British Indian army soldiers directed by Pankaj Batra is solid if undemanding viewing
Pankaj Batra’s Punjabi melodrama combines a new angle on the the first world war with an old-fashioned appeal: a broadly fictionalised commemoration of those Sikh soldiers who served in the British Indian army, it flits between the usual barrack-room bonding and memories of girls back home before launching into final-reel shows of heroism and sacrifice. Musical megastar turned actor Diljit Dosanjh – in a move we might now call “doing a Styles” – plays the eponymous Singh, a free thinker schooled to fight the cause of independence but forced to do his bit by his father, a grovelling lackey of empire, in the hope of achieving greater career progression.

The Chake De! girl Preeti Sabarwal, played by actress Sagarika Ghatge is taking a leap into Punjabi films with Dil Dariyaan. However, this doesn't mean she is shifting base to Pollywood! According to Sagarika, Dil Dariyaan has an amazing script and her character is also well etched out and that is what induced her to take up the role.
Says Sagarika, "I am not shifting to Punjabi Films. Moreover, it's a great time to be part of other regional cinema, as its growing rapidly. You don't get such scripts and characters to play regularly. Dil Dariyaan was not to be missed. I am very happy to get this chance."
Interestingly, Sagarika plays a 'loud' and bindass character in Dil Dariyaan.
"Dil Dariyaan is fully based in Punjab and a very rooted film. It's a love story. I am playing a Punjabi village girl. My character is very real and people...
