New Delhi: ‘Shinda Shinda No Papa’ is a full-blown Gippy Grewal entertainer. Also starring Shinda Grewal and Hina Khan, this Punjabi comedy drama is a slightly off-the-beat Punjabi film about gentle parenting and generational traumas. The Gippy Grewal film opened to a good box office collection and continues to do well globally and has collected more than Rs. 32 cr in its third week run. As the film continues to do well, here are 5 reasons why once can watch his Punjabi entertainer for a refreshing take on parenting.

Subject matter

While recent Punjabi releases have tried to experiment with subject matter, specifically trying to move away from the marriage template and the before and after of it, ‘Shinda Shinda No Papa’ is completely different subject matter with an engaging plot, catchy songs and a comedy drama that will tug at many parents’ heartstrings.

Generational trauma and gentle parenting

Gentle parenting in a Punjabi cultural setup with a right dose of comedy and drama without being harsh on age-old cultural practicies, ‘Shinda Shinda No Papa’ explores gentle parenting in a village setup where a revolution is brought about by the likes of Canada-born Shinda Grewal and his friends from the village.

Interestingly, ‘Shinda Shinda No Papa’ not just talks about gentle parenting but also sheds light on generational traumas that the generation who are current parents have to mould and break through to be able to take upon themselves the role of being gentle parents.

In that regard, Gippy Grewal and Shinda Grewal do a great job as father-son duo.

Music

From the title track ‘Shinda Shinda No Papa’ to ‘Marzi Saddi Hai, ‘Shinda Shinda No Papa’ has some catchy and groovy tracks that will hook its audience and fans alike.

Performances

Gippy Grewal, Shinda Grewal, Prince Kanwaljit Singh are some star performers of ‘Shinda Shinda No Papa’. The comedy drama has the right dosage of high-end drama, emotional highs and lows, comic elements and more and all of this hits a right note with the performances of the star cast.

Hina Khan does not have a role well-sketched out for her but she suits her part to the T.

Dialogues

Several Punjabi films have become iconic for many reasons; and many because of the dialogues for which they are remembered for. With ‘Shinda Shinda No Papa’, there is no masucilinity emphasising dialogues serving the male ego, there is a general sensitisation when it comes to the writing of not just dialogues but also the screenplay of the film.

In that regard, 'Shinda Shinda No Papa' is a refreshing take on Punjabi dialogue in films.
