Do you watch English movies?

Do you listen to English songs?

Do you watch English TV programmes?

Do they make sense to you?

 

Yes i do and not all of "English" movies/songs/tv are of my taste. There are some certain types that my favorites which i cannot find in hindi/punjabi movies/tv etc.

Maybe because you have become so westernised. That Punjabi language films don't interest you? Its easy to lose touch with your own culture while growing up in western countries. 

You should give them a try. I hardly watch English movies and songs. As can relate more to my own cultural movies. 

Today's generation are more into western media and movies. I call them the Harry potter generation. Who laugh at their own culture but love the western culture and luv to bend over to the white man.

Not really westernized and very much in touch with original punjabi and sikh culture. We have strict punjabi speaking only rule in my house & six year old can write punjabi well. Anyway, you are making an navie assumptions that a person who does not like punjabi movies/songs are too much westernized or feel inferior than white. People watch movies/tv based on the type of art they like or how their social culture/lifestyle looks like. I don't like hilly billy type of fake movies based on nothing. At same time i don't like ghetto type fast and furious or cheesy movies like la la land etc etc..

Jaswinder bhalla and other old real actor folks are bygone age and they are mostly in movies as grade B/C type supporting actors ? Punjabi movies are made to please the punjabi majority and they are into - cars, materialistic world of show off, go abroad, get kuri, fake ego of culture etc etc. 

Btw, i find harry potter type movies -- okayish but not my style.

I think that some of the Hollywood films should be dubbed into Punjabi.

I recall watching the Spiderman films  in Punjabi (it was Pakistani Punjabi ) and I thought I wish I could have watched this with my grandparents. 

Kids love cartoons and cgi animation and there a whole heap of programs and films that could be dubbed into Punjabi.

I hear that. I don't watch Panjabi films, because I don't like all the casteism that gets promoted within and often feel it is quite shallow. 

I love arts that is brave, intelligent and has a good social message. One Panjabi film I partially watched recently was that Udta Punjab. I couldn't get all the way through (got over half way). I liked the style and message, but I HATE musicals and when that Jazzy B type character came up, I struggled to suffer it. 

But that doesn't mean I don't love aspects of Panjabi culture, and Sikh culture in general.

My nephew said he saw that Die Hard in Punjabi in a cinema back home years ago, he said it was hilarious. Yeah, we should have more of that.

I like films that have intelligent social observations within, Panjabi films that I've seem don't seem to have that.
