Story

Set in the late 60s or early 70’s ‘Bajre Da Sitta’ is a tale of two sisters Roop (Tania) and Basant (Noor Chahal). These young ladies are blessed with beautiful vocal abilities. They never got training in singing, yet their voices were compared to the melodies of a nightingale. Owing to their talent, they are approached by a recording studio that wants to feature them as their artists. However, coming from a typical old-school Punjabi family, their fathers don’t want them to do anything with singing or music. Fortunately for the girls, the fathers witness a change of heart on continuous persuasion, so they allow the sister to sing but under a lot of restriction. Initially, the names of the girls are kept under the wraps as per the rule of their parents, but later when the record label’s new edition makes their names public, things change. On one hand, where it brings joy to the hearts of Roop and Basant, on the other hand, it brings shame to the name of their family. The dreams that were yet to be painted are washed off, and the girls are told never to sing again.

Review

In the world of masala entertainment, writer-director Jass Grewal has brought musical drama to the big screen. It was not just a big step, but a risk as well considering it is the road less traveled. However, we are glad that Jass took this risk and made the movie because a concept as beautiful as this is like a breath of fresh air.

The musical tone of the movie was set right from the beginning. It established the charm and magic of music which not just comes from mere instruments but is present in the very being of the universe.

Further, Tania and Noor as Roop and Basant colored us impressed. They are both playing simple, innocent girls, who love to sing, play around, smile, and spread happiness. They don’t have an understanding of the talent that they are blessed with, but they relish themselves when they sing. Moreover, their bond with one another as sisters is something that tugs at the heartstrings. It’s pure, relatable, and just effortless; it is something that ensures that the smile never leaves your face.
