GURSHABAD

 

With the fully bearded and turbaned Manpreet Singh as the lead hero, Sat Sri Akal will foster renewed interest in the Sikh face. The cast and crew is essentially Punjabi and the writer Arvinderjit Singh has spared no effort to encapsulate Punjabi culture, moral values and Sikh tenets. The music of the movie also has the Punjabi touch with a string of percussion instruments and singers like Jagjit Singh. Among the Shabads in the movie, there is Dithe Sabhe Thaav, sung by late Ishmeet Singh, much before he became the Voice of India. It is a classic, a must see. Ask your local DVD store if they have a copy, or if they can order one for you. You might be able to find websites that you could legally download it from. Next time you get online to check your mail, see the news or do some financial comparison on Mozo, see if Sat Sri Akal is available for download or streaming. It is a wonderful film.
