“Wild Wild Punjab,” a comedy film released on Netflix on July 10, 2024, follows a classic formula with a Punjabi twist. Directed by Simarpreet Singh and produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, the film features an ensemble cast including Varun Sharma, Jassie Gill, Patralekhaa, Manjot Singh, Sunny Singh, and Ishita Raj.
The story revolves around Rajesh Khanna, played by Varun Sharma, who is heartbroken after his girlfriend leaves him to marry someone else. His friends—played by Manjot Singh, Sunny Singh, and Jassie Gill—embark on a wild road trip to help him get over the breakup. Their journey is filled with comedic misadventures, mistaken identities, and the quintessential Punjabi flair​​.
While the film attempts to deliver humor and a fresh take on the breakup-revenge trope, it has received mixed reviews. Critics have noted that despite the energetic performances and humorous dialogues, the film sometimes feels repetitive and relies heavily on stereotypes​.
If you’re in the mood for a light-hearted comedy with a Punjabi twist and don’t mind some clichés, “Wild Wild Punjab” might be worth a watch.
