Wild Wild Punjab Film Review: A Hilariously Chaotic Journey of Heartbreak and Misadventures

🌟🌟🌟 (3 out of 5 stars, if you’re wondering)

Well, buckle up buttercups, because "Wild Wild Punjab" (WWP) is here to take us on a rollercoaster ride of drunken debauchery and misguided revenge! And why? Because nothing screams closure like crashing your ex-girlfriend’s wedding, right? 😂

So, here’s the scoop: Our heartbroken hero, Khanne (Varun Sharma), decides that nothing says "I’m totally over you" better than turning up uninvited at his ex-girlfriend Vaishali’s (Asheema Vardaan) wedding. And of course, his loyal sidekicks – Honey Paaji (Manjot Singh), Arore (Sunny Singh), and Jainu (Jassie Gill) – are all in for this ill-conceived adventure. As if this wasn’t chaotic enough, two ladies, Radha (Patralekhaa) and Meera (Ishita Raj), join the mayhem, turning a 3-hour drive into an endless detour-filled journey.

Directed by Simarpreet Singh, with Luv Ranjan (the mastermind behind ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’) pulling the strings behind the scenes, "WWP" is a 110-minute joyride of laughter, sprinkled with cliché dialogues (think: "This is not a Hangover movie, this is real life" or "She’s stretchable, not flexible" 🙄) and over-the-top performances.

But let’s be real, people. This is a Bollywood film, so expect the usual suspects: exaggerated characters, slapstick comedy, and yes, the obligatory gun-totting mafia. The narrative is swift, which thankfully keeps us engaged in between those cringe-worthy moments.

The cast, oh boy, where do I begin? Sunny Singh, introduced as the "illegitimate child of the God of Love," is Arore, the hopeless romantic who falls for every girl he sees. Jassie Gill is the dutiful "only son of Dad", while Varun Sharma, the heartbroken Khanne, seems to be reliving his character from ‘Fukrey’. Manjot Singh, the "Punjabi version of the mythological Shravan Kumar," is hopelessly devoted to his father and his beloved car, Paro (yes, you read it right!). The ladies, Patralekhaa, Ishita Raj, Asheema Vardaan, and Rajesh Sharma, add the cherry on this comedy sundae.

The soundtrack is as lively as a Punjabi wedding, with peppy numbers like ‘Meri Baggi Mera Ghoda’ by Bali and ‘Husn Irani’ by Guru Randhawa. The cinematography by Nigam Bomzan is the unsung hero, capturing the essence of Punjab beautifully.

So, here’s the bottom line ‘WWP’ is a mishmash of ‘Fukrey,’ ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama,’ and ‘Hangover’. It’s predictable, it’s cheesy, and it’s over-the-top. But somehow, it manages to be entertaining.

Rani’s Wrap-Up: ‘Wild Wild Punjab’ is like that one friend who cracks lame jokes. You know they’re not funny, but you laugh anyway. 😂
