Ik Kudi Punjab Di released on 17 September 2010 globally. It was keenly awaited due to its theme, lead actor Amrinder Gill and the director. The director/writer/producer has attempted a very new and unique concept of drama/theatre in Ik Kudi Punjab Di which is not done much in Punjabi cinema.

Plot

Ik Kudi Punjab Di tells a richly textured tale from a keenly female perspective set against the backdrop of male-dominated Punjabi society. It does so with a Shakespearean credo of "all the world’s a stage" and a lively cast.

SP Singh (Amrinder Gill) is a boy from a wealthy family who meets Navdeep (Jaspinder Cheema), the girl of his dreams, at his college drama class. They quickly bond, much to the chagrin of bad-boy student Vicky (Aman Dhaliwal) who prizes Navdeep for himself.

The male-chauvinist Vicky has no chance with the progressive-minded Navdeep. Even Singh, the man who she admires enough to call a friend, is in for a shock. Navdeep doesn't want to get married; she's intent on being the guardian of her loving parents because the family lacks a male heir.

Singh tests his own view of women by agreeing to all of Navdeep's demands, including becoming a ghar jamai. This is seen as both revolutionary (by her classmates) and an affront to Punjabi society and tradition. [1]
