Bha Ji in Problem was yet another successful collaboration between Gippy Grewal and director/writer Smeep Kang. The film, which was produced by Akshay Kumar tells the story of a man who has married two women at the same time.

Both his wives are unaware of each other and the trouble knocks on his door when he comes to know that his soon-to-be brother-in-law knows his secret. Laced with some pretty good music and amazing acting all over, Bha ji in Problem was an absolute treat for Gippy fans.

Sardaar Ji (2015)

Sardaar Ji best punjabi horror comedy film

Directed by Rohit Jugraj, the film starred Diljit Dosanjh in the leading role as a man who falls in love with a ghost. Seems too offbeat for a commercial Punjabi film and seems like the plot of a ‘run of the mill’ suspense thriller film. No, it is anything but that.

One of the biggest hits of Diljit Dosanjh’s career, the film was a full-on masala film and a laugh riot from beginning to end. As our lovable Sardaarji falls in love with a ghost, we keep falling in love with the man.

Jatt James Bond (2014)

Gippy Grewal seems to be well aware of the tricks of the game that always keep him in the loop of the most successful Punjabi actors of this generation.

Jatt James Bond tells the story of a guy named Sinda, who is tired of getting badly treated by his family and relatives. He joins hands with a few of his friends and sets out to teach a lesson to his relatives in manners.

For those who are wondering, yes, that is the same Zareen Khan in the film who made her acting debut with Salman Khan in Veer.

Mahaul Theek hai (1999)

Jaspal Bhatti is a name that needs no introduction and he is at the top of the game in this film, which he starred in and also wrote and directed.

The film tells the story of a couple that gets mistreated by a police officer and when they raise their voice against it, they find themselves in the middle of a larger scheme of deceptions.

Yaar Anmulle (2011)

Yaar Anmulle best punjabi comedy film

Yaar Anmulle is yet another one of those films that make the audience laugh at every turn. Directed by Anurag Singh and starring Arya Babbar in the leading role, this is the film everybody recommends whenever somebody wants to get introduced to the madcap Punjabi cinema.

The film tells the story of three friends living in a hostel and takes a look at their love stories, which are anything but simple. One of the most successful films of that year, the film also revived Arya Babbar’s career after a bad start in the Hindi film industry.

Ronde Saare Vyah Picho (2013)

Starring Harish Verma and Neeru Bajwa in the leading roles, the film was a major critical and box-office success.

Amar Deep is the leading man here, played excellently well by Harish, who has agreed to an arranged marriage with a very pretty girl. But he does not know that the wife that he is about to take is a very sly con woman who runs the business of marrying wealthy men only to run away with their money later on.

It is now up to Amar to make her fall in love for the first time with him and also to bring his quirky and adventurous love story to a decent conclusion.

Nikka Zaildar (2016)

Nikka Zaildar best punjabi film

Nikka Zaildar does not have a very offbeat or interesting plot, but it’s all about the treatment of this film that makes it one of the funniest Punjabi comedy movies ever made.

Telling the story of a young college-going student named Nikka who falls in love with one of his classmates, the film makes the best use of random situations to give them an extremely funny touch.

The girl that Nikka loves is not easy to get, nor is it easy to handle her the way he wants to. Do not miss this wonderful film for anything.

Best of Luck (2013)

Best of Luck is one of the many Gippy Grewal vehicles that are interesting from beginning to end. While most of the credit naturally goes to Gippy himself, the film also features a slew of supporting cast members that make this film memorable.

The film features a very interesting plot about a normal pizza delivery boy who somehow meets a gangster and finds out that they have a lot in common. They now come to an agreement to help each other with their love lives. The film takes some serious turns from time to time, but never quite loses its touch.
