  1. #Hindi #Panjabi #film #MainVaapasAaunga was the first movie I've seen in cinemas since Le Comte de Monte Cristo, and I was seriously thinking about watching it again at the cinema. Sadly, it's already gone. If it's showing at cinema near you, please consider going. If not, look out for it on Netflix

    More than 10% of my town's population is Sikh Panjabi, but even that did not save this gem. Hopefully the Panjabi diaspora in Canada and elsewhere will do it the justice it deserves.

  3. Continuing my cunning plan to lure people into watching Main Vaapas Aaunga by sharing its fun songs
    (spoiler:: 2 million people being killed in 3 months was not fun)

  5. If there was an Oscar for 'most tonally misleading musical number in a film', Ishq Mastana from Main Vaapas Aaunga would be just about a lock, I think 😍

    The song is a catchy mix of #Hindi and #Panjabi and the line
    "Panj Ne Dariya Jin Ki Alag Hai Kahani" - "each of the Five Rivers has its own (or, a different) story" makes me think of my Dad's repeated recitation of the Five Rivers to his kids. I really wish I'd learned them before he died, but I know he'd be happy they're imprinted now.

    On a related note, I love that English subtitles in the film spell the name of the region, the language and the people as PAnjab(i) never "PUnjab" - "Panj" is the correct transliteration of the word for "five" and I have spelled it with an "a" for decades. To see it used in a mainstream big hit is pleasing validation.

  7. A bluesky mutual tipped me off tipping me off about Main Vaapas Aaunga. VERY excited to watch it, even if the train clips in the trailer remind me of my grandfather's (not exaggerated) horror stories of Partition train massacres I grew up hearing from my Dad.
    It's impossible to make a happy movie about Partition but because it's literally the reason I exist, this will be the third Partition themed film I've seen. This one has a top-flight EVERYTHING - director, music (A.R. Rahman globally famous) cast - the dying grandfather played by an iconic doyen of Hindi cinema, Naseeruddin Shah. After being reassured it had subs, my non Hindi-speaking wife said after watching the trailer "I'm glad we're going to this - it will be a tearjerker".

  9. Mein Song über Würde existiert in mehreren Sprachen – von Chinesisch über Arabisch bis Panjabi! Ich habe aufgehört zu zählen. Hier ist die Panjabi-Version (197 Aufrufe) – hört rein: youtu.be/WE-qFfz7Mno?si=IBqIrn #Panjabi #GlobalMusicProject

  11. The #Chihayafuru movies were great, LOVED the perfect end, looking forward to #jDrama #ChihayafuruFullCircle in a couple of weeks. After watching 3 movies ALL ABOUT distinguishing between similar sounds, and hearing the word "karuta" countless times, OF COURSE my pun-addict mind went straight to a homophonic song title #Panjabi
