Sources said Grewal had a long schedule of meetings in Pakistan, including with film people, at the Governor House to discuss joint film ventures between the two sides, Dawn news reported. The next day he was supposed to leave for Nankana Sahib to pay respects at the religious site," he explained. "He was also to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Lahore and then he had meetings at the Governor House. On January 29, he was to visit Nankana Sahib before his return to India," an EPTB official told Dawn.Īccording to another source, Grewal was to enter Pakistan through Wagah border on a two-day visit with some six or seven other people but he was stopped at the Attari check post, the report said. Later, Gippy was scheduled to attend a reception at Governor House. "He was to move to Kartarpur (Narowal) at 9.30 am (on Friday) and return to Lahore by 3.30 pm. Little wonder then that the fans are already egging the filmmakers on to just carry on.Punjabi actor-singer Gippy Grewal was barred from entering Pakistan through the Wagah border as the Indian immigration authorities reportedly stopped him at Attari check post, Pakistani media reported.Īccording to sources in the Evacuee Propriety Trust Board (EPTB), arrangements were in place to receive the singer at the border as he was scheduled to visit Kartarpur, Dawn news said in a report.
The performance of Sonam Bajwa complemented the rest as well, even if she was not the central figure.Ĭarry On Jatta already had a cult following, and the sequel is only going to carry it forward.And considering how the sequel has panned out, the franchise is only getting stronger. The character of Goldy is a shoo-in for laughter sprees throughout the two-and-a-half hours.ĭuring the film promotions Gippy Grewal actually revealed that he wanted to play Goldy, but Binnu Dhillon proved himself up to the task by giving a standout performance. If anything, the trio of Gippy, Jaswinder and Gurpreet appears to have taken things up a few notches in Carry on Jatta 2. Bhangra Pa Liye already had 3.3 million views on YouTube on the day of the film’s release. Gippy Grewal has been preferred over Honey Singh for the music, and has pulled off a few catchy tracks. Shreya and Vaibhav do justice to Naresh Kathuria’s script here.Ī glaring exception is the cinematography, which could have been salvaged through the scenic beauty that Punjab offers, which is often incorporated by Punjwood films. While the film was always going to entirely depend on its script and the ability to make people laugh, the editing is pretty spot-on as well, and helps keep the screenplay compact. Failing which, one really shouldn’t in any case be near Carry on Jatta 2 – or indeed this piece. The punches are as penetrative as they were six years ago, making it impossible for one to have a moment’s worth of distraction in the film.Īll of this, of course, assumes that one is a fan of the quintessentially Punjabi brand of comedy, and that you won’t have any repulsion for politically incorrect humour. More often than not, it’s Bhalla and Dhillon who are orchestrating the LOLs. He successfully woos Meet, who convincingly falls for him.But when Meet underscores the qualities she wants in her future husband and his family, lightning strikes. Jass tasks his friend Honey (Gurpreet Ghuggi)with finding such a girl,who introduces himto an NRI named Meet (Sonam Bajwa). After numerous visa rejections and taunts from landlord Advocate Dhillon (Jaswinder Bhalla) and best friend Goldy (Binnu Dhillon), Jass realises that marrying a Canadian girl is the only ticket to his ‘Canadian Dream’. The filmmakers backed the brand, and recreated a new superstructure on the same foundation.That’s how Carry on Jatta 2 ends up being a laugh riot.Ī young Punjabi guy, Jass (Gippy Grewal) can’t stop dreaming about visiting Canada. That, mercifully, is not what happens with Carry on Jatta 2, which is a completely new storyline – but with perfectly placed nuggets of nostalgia.
CARRY ON JATTA 2 PAKISTAN MOVIE
There is the ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ line of thought, which seeks to cash in on whatever worked in the first movie, but the downside is one can always end up making the same movie again. Sequels come with expectations, when the original smashes all kinds of records.
The franchise isn’t only conjuring new opportunities for Punjabi moviegoers, it can provide profitable business for entertainment and the romcom genre.Īfter exploding on the scene in 2012, director Smeep Kang has retained almost the same star cast from Carry on Jatta – except Sonam Bajwa in the lead role with Gippy Grewal, with Atul Bhalla the new producer. The Carry on Jatta franchise takes up that particular mantle for Punjwood and reaffirms itself by following the trail that it had blazed six years ago. It is always easy to set the stage afire than to do the same all over again once the legacy has simmered.
