🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film deftly avoids hagiography, portraying the musician as a complex, contradictory figure crushed by the machinery of his own fame. The director balances electrifying Bhangra-infused concert sequences with quiet moments of personal collapse, crafting a potent social portrait.
What lingers after the credits roll is the visceral energy of Punjab's musical battlefield, where talent is both weapon and liability. It's a grim but necessary reflection on the cost of authenticity in a world craving spectacle. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Imtiaz Ali

Dusty road heat, the crackle of packed stadiums, the hollow silence following scandal.
