| Event Name: | Punjabi Film : Heer Ranjha |
| Description: | It is a testimony to the enduring appeal of the story of Heer Ranjha that it continues to be a dearly loved part of the collective and individual memory of millions across the world even after almost 300 years. This film is an attempt to capture on celluloid the eternity of this metaphor.
Ranjha, flute playing ‘manmauji’ who looks at life with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face, is shattered after the death of his loving father. After being disillusioned with the behaviour of his family, Ranjha wanders about
aimlessly into the unknown world. His wandering feet and heart are arrested by just one glimpse of the mesmerizingly beautiful Heer from Jhang Siyaal. Love blossoms and the two souls are soon pledged to each other for all eternity.
Starring Harbhajan Mann and Neeru Bajwa, the film’s soulful music covers the entire melody of the story – right from the first note of the Ranjha’s flute as it wafted across the night, whispering a promise into Heer’s ear, and up to the last painful note of the lovers’ last sigh. Authentic costumes, architecture and characters from centuries ago have been recreated so that the audience can be transported back to a time, centuries ago. |
