I remember very well that in 2018 I had to travel from Lahore to Islamabad for some work, the bus I was traveling in was showing an Indian Punjabi movie “Carry On Jatta”.
The film was so full of humor and comedy that the long journey from the city of living hearts to the city of power was not felt. Later, this film achieved so much success that millions of people have seen this film again and again. Before Jatta, there was a tradition of Pakistani and Indian films that maximum 2-3 comedy scenes were added during the story of the film.
No director would have taken the risk of making an entire Puri film on the subject of laughs, but Guppy Grewal took the risk and made an entire comedy called Carry On Jatta, an experiment that was so successful that the practice was discontinued. Now, Pakistan is also being tested in the film industry with India, the latest example of which is the recently released film “Super Punjabi”, after the second successful season of Carry on Jatta, Pakistani comedian Nasir is now in the third season with Indian actors. Chenyoti is also included.
Earlier, the Indian Punjabi film “Chal Mere Pat” also provided a great opportunity to Pakistani artists including Iftikhar Thakur, Nasir Chenyoti, Akram Udas to appear in action. Popular all over the world, including India, Pakistani and Indian artists working together in the same film is also very welcome because this practice brings the artists of both countries closer to each other. There is an opportunity to watch humorous films.
For the promotion of Carry on Jatta film, Indian and Pakistani artists held a press conference in Lahore and Karachi through video link, in which Pakistani and Indian artists said that there is no border for an artist, but now the concept of Chalda Punjab and Lehinda Punjab. is over, Punjab is one and all its artists are one.
The hero and producer of the Indian Punjabi film Carry On Jataka, Guppy Grewal, Sonam Bajwa, Kavita, Nasir Chanutey, Iftikhar Thakur and IMGC’s Rooh Rawah Abid Rasheed Sheikh said that the fun of working in this film cannot be described in words. Can’t be done, our main aim is to spread happiness and laughter on people’s faces which we have done through this film, according to Guppy Grewal, Bannu Dhillon, Sonam Bajwa and Kavita, as much as people love us in Pakistan. Will visit Pakistan soon.
The talk does not end only with Carry on Jatta, but for the first time in the country’s history, more than 10 films have graced the theaters on Eid-ul-Azha, including Mehwish Hayat, Ramsha Khan, Hara Mani, Shehryar Manoor, Wahaj Ali, Nasir Chiniotty, Shafqat Cheema. Famous artists including Gippy Grewal, Sonam Bajwa are in action.

Now it is part of a tradition in India and Pakistan, firstly the release of the film on Friday and secondly on the occasion of Eid. If we talk about its history, it is related to the independence of the country. Readers will be surprised to know that after the partition of India, the first cross-border Pakistani film ‘Teri Yaad’ was released on August 7, 1948, on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. Actors Nasir Khan and Asha Bhosle were among the main characters of the said film.
Nasir Khan was the younger brother of Dilip Kumar and a successful star of that time. Not only this, the important film of Nasir Khan’s career was released on August 15, 1947, the day of the country’s independence, as ‘Shehnai’. The film featured Kishore Kumar, Rehana and Indomati along with Nasir Khan. It was not about Independence Day but it was supposed to be around Eid. In fact, Shehnai’ was also released on the occasion of Eid in a sense and that is, 14th August 1947 was the 27th of Ramadan and after that 15th August India’s Independence Day was associated with Eid.
Thus, the film ‘Shehnai’ was promoted as a ‘Gift of Freedom and Eid’. When the sub-continent was being partitioned and it was at a new crossroads in history, Nasir Khan’s films graced the cinemas of the region at that time. was becoming Earlier on 24 October 1947 on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, the film ‘Bandiya’, produced in Bombay, was screened in Pakistan, starring Ragini, Amar, Shakir and E Baloria in the lead roles.
It is clear that Eid being the biggest festival of the country’s minorities, Eid has been well celebrated by Bollywood. The important thing is that on the occasion of Eid some Bollywood songs have also become super hits which are heard every year in Eid parties.
As always, Eid came this time and brought many joys with it. After the Eid prayer, where lions are sweetened with dates and sevi, the Sunnah of Ibrahimi is also fulfilled by sacrificing an animal.
