Thats the type of movie I'm referring to bro. Subpar acting at best, corny dialogue, horrible editing, people spend more time laughing at the movie than paying attention. Those movies only impress the older viewers who have no clue what a well made movie really is lol.

These movies are not for the western Sikh audience although now that these movies are being banned in India the producers will have to consider catering more for the western Sikh audience as this is where they will likely recoup their investment.

Whatever your thoughts on the artistic merit of these films, one thing that cannot be argued against is that they have led to Sikhs gaining more knowledge about the events that happened in the 80s and 90s. This can only be a good thing especially as the whole Indian education system and media is gearing towards either ignoring these events or painting these events to suit their own ends.

If they're not for us, then why are they showing these movies more and more in cinemas across Canada, US, UK, and Australia? Just to make an extra buck or two off of us while they can?

There is really no way to judge or estimate just how much more knowledge the masses have gained from these movies...

At the end of the article is says:

Sunny Deol's 'Singh Saab the Great' (2013)): Only Takht jathedars can be addressed as Singh Sahib

Is this true? Is it kinda like wearing a farla without doing any seva or something?

The majority of the US, Canada and even more so for Australia are recently from Punjab so it would make sense for them to show films in a manner that would resonate with them.

Don't think thats true, plus even if it was, they don't deserve it lol.

Not sure about US/Australia, but thats not true for Canada, its split evenly between Punjab born vs Canada born. Regardless, its almost like you're trying to say only films of inferior quality will hit home with Punjabis? Thats not true at all.

Being to Canada many times my observation is a lot of folk (not all) there are more Punjabi than Punjabi people in Punjab. Like how the U.S. Boston Irish are more Irish in Ireland.

This is my anecdotal generalisation. It may not be true for all cases.

I think we're having some misunderstandings lol, but you are right on that somewhat, people here are quite in touch with their roots. I'm just saying producers shouldn't just spit out loaw quality movie after movie. If they need more money, they should ask sangat, or if they purposely don't put in effort then the movies should be boycotted.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
