REVIEW OF FILM “AMAR SINGH CHAMKILA”
- Repoter 11

Imtiaz Ali, known for his soul-searching, contemplative stories on love and self-discovery, steers away from his usual way to find himself again through Chamkila. He deep dives into a tragedy seeped into moral policing and prejudice.
Poignant, provocative, and poetic, Imtiaz’s vision conjures vivid emotions. The objective, yet empathetic, biopic compels the viewers to look inward.
The second half feels a bit repetitive but A.R. Rahman’s background music and Diljit’s rustic vocals keep the momentum going. The film belongs to the actor-singer as he delivers a career-defining performance. He brings a perfect blend of humility, frustration, and angst to his part. Parineeti has a likeable presence but her acting pales in comparison in crucial scenes.
The camera work especially in Naram Kalja, where the girls talk straight to the camera attracts the attention. The one-liners are hilarious.
