“Fantastic, I never believed that Punjabi movies come with a theme, so I really enjoyed that,” remarked the yesteryear ace cricketer, highlighting the film’s compelling narrative and relevance. He further added, “It’s just a message to the young people. It’s not necessary to go abroad for success. If you're back home, you can still get a good job and work for yourself," said Mr Dev to famous journalist Faridoon Shahryar who also attended the premiere. 

Jahankilla, directed by Vickey Kadam and produced by Howzatt Productions Ltd. in association with SVP Films, has captured hearts and minds with its powerful portrayal of bravery and societal contributions. The film, which is trending on Twitter in India, tells a gripping story of national integration and the empowerment of youth and women. It is a tribute to the relentless dedication of first responders who work tirelessly to keep our society safe.

 

What others said about the film Jahankilla

Celebrated journalist Faridoon Shahryar echoed the film’s excellence in his review, saying, “Honestly speaking, I was pleasantly surprised. I found this film to be very good. The most important thing in any work of art is the intention. If you have a good intention and passion, it turns out to be a great experience. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, a story about first responders, and it portrays their vital role in safeguarding society in a very commendable way. Jobanpreet Singh and Gurbani Gill shine in their roles, and Vickey Kadam has done a fantastic job.”

The movie's lead actress Gurbani Gill also graced the TIFF event and was overwhelmed to see her movie receiving so much love.
