The Punjabi film industry, affectionately known as Pollywood, has undergone a massive transformation over the last two decades. While historical dramas and action films have their moments, the true backbone of Pollywood’s global box office success is the genre.
From Harry’s mother (Sargun Mehta) trying to act “natural” by over-dramatizing her kitchen duties, to his father accidentally becoming a meme because of his loud sneezes, the family’s attempt to be “TV-ready” turns their home into a three-ring circus. The humor escalates when a real TV producer (a hilarious cameo by B.N. Sharma) gets wind of the “show” and offers them a deal—but only if they add a “twist” (a fake love triangle, a hidden property dispute, and a long-lost relative who arrives via FedEx).
