A story of a man who fulfills his dream but can't escape the reality of nature. Amar Singh Chamkila is a Netflix movie that depicts the story of a singer and his wife. Biographical movies or series are always fun to watch, no matter what the concept of the movie or series is. Bollywood never fails to bring out the best biographical movies. I am a huge fan of biographical movies because they are based on true stories.
Secondly, watching biographical movies gives me an insight into the individual on whom the movie is based. I have seen biographical movies based on cricket players, singers, actors, and more. Chamkila is one of them. Even though this movie has a common concept, which is bringing out the best of the real incidents that happened to the individual, it still manages to impress me with the storyline.
The movie takes place in Punjab, which is a popular state in India. Punjab is not only popular for its culture, but its songs are one of the reasons why every Indian loves to hear them. Chamkila is a movie that focuses on the life of a singer. I genuinely loved the movie; it has everything that a biography should have. From songs to the plot to everything, the movie is on point.
The movie starts by showing a man getting killed by some people. So the man in the picture was none other than Amar Singh Chamkila. Chamkila is a singer who goes viral for his lyrics and singing skills. He becomes immensely popular among people and also gets criticism for it. His songs get so popular that they echo almost in every corner of Punjab. Amar Singh Chamkila, or Chamkila, should be on your list because the storyline is really beautiful and it shows the reality of the singer.
As it is based on true events, the movie seems more interesting because I could imagine that the real singer must have experienced everything like this. Even though some events were fictional as well as characters. Apart from the character of Amar Singh, you will also enjoy seeing Parineeti Chopra as Amarjot Kaur.
She played the role of Amar Singh's wife. The movie is a musical drama, but you will enjoy seeing the bond between Amar Singh and his wife, Amarjot. I really felt bad for the main character as he got killed by some people. It shows the brutal reality of Punjab that even celebrities are not safe there. If you are looking for a movie for entertainment that is based on true events, Then check out Chamkila on Netflix.
Final Score- [9/10]
