A dash of experimentation that doesn’t really fire imaginations, is how this film is best summarized. While the plot of death, and the afterlife in Yamlok is a first for Punjabi cinema, the script lacks conviction and rambles unengaged till it reaches the interval. After delivering a profound biopic like Subedar Joginder Singh, and hilarious franchise of Carry On Jatta, this film dawdles to reach expectations, from an actor of Gippy’s stature. It also attempts to sermonize on sins of nepotism, corruption etc., which emerge from Tittu’s trip to Yamlok. However, the attempt is feeble, perhaps justifying balance between films as a medium of entertainment, and that of social messages. Straddling this dilemma costs the film its comic dose as the director juggled his two themes. The film is also lampooning singers like Sidhu Moosewala’s violent songs, Parmish Verma’s infamous shooting incident to bridge this dilemma. The famous five of Punjabi comedy- Binnu Dhillon, Jaswinder Bhalla, Karmjit Anmol, BN Sharma and Gurpreet Ghuggi, manage to helm the film’s comic timing and lift it out to its true genre of a romcom. TV actress, Sapna Pabbi (who plays Simran), is just another pretty addition to Punjabi cinema, perfectly towing the precedence of being only a dolled-up prop to the script. Music, given by Rahar Fateh Ali Khan and Guru Randhawa, saves the day, being refreshing and soulful. If at all you cannot leave behind the expectations of another comic masterpiece from Gippy, this film will disappoint. But, for the heck of passing time watching anything new, go watch it.
