00:00This movie should definitely be released in theatres.
00:04And as you all know, OTT is releasing on the 24th of January.
00:09This movie is based on a Sikh.
00:12Being a Sikh, as I said yesterday,
00:14we all should definitely watch this movie.
00:17If we love our Sikhs, who is a Sikh?
00:20How do we value them?
00:22What is the value of a Sikh?
00:25You will get all this in this film.
00:27You should watch it and show it to your children.
00:29This is a family movie and I will say with conviction
00:32that after watching this movie, you will say
00:35that this is an amazing movie.
00:36Why is this film not released in theatres?
00:41What is the reason behind it?
00:42The producers and distributors will know more about it.
00:46But I feel that films based on Sikhs should definitely be released in theatres.
00:51In theatres as well.
00:52It will be fun to watch.
00:54Sometimes there is something of a small budget
00:56and that also gets clicked.
00:57Your story should have some impact.
00:59Sometimes you release a film at a very small budget
01:02and it becomes such a big hit that it is released worldwide.
01:05So it is possible that it will be released with Gurmukh tomorrow.
01:07As it is, Gurmukh is already releasing very well.
01:09And once it is a hit, it will be released at a bigger budget.
01:12I would like to say that please,
01:14all the Sikhs, all the Punjabis,
01:16everyone should definitely watch this film
01:19and show it to their children.
01:22Yes, sir.
01:23First of all, I would like to thank all the directors of Amritsar
01:27who have come here to watch the film on the Kewal Khan stage.
01:32I would like to thank my team, Doreen Chopra ji,
01:35our new actor, Amaninder,
01:38and Kuljinder Sidhu ji, who will be joining us in a couple of minutes.
01:41I would like to thank all of them, Saga,
01:43and their families.
01:45Thank you very much for taking the time to watch this film.
01:50This is the first Punjabi film
01:52which is being translated into nine languages
01:56and is going to be released on the 24th
02:00on Kewal Khan, a new OTT platform.
02:05This is a psychological thriller.
02:08It is a story of a young Sikh.
02:10I will watch the film later
02:12and you can talk about it yourself.
02:14I will not reveal it.
02:15Our message in this film is that
02:18we have tried to talk about the Gurmukh language
02:21and the social responsibility of a Sikh.
02:25Secondly, we have made a technically rich film
02:28so that we can tell the world in nine languages
02:32that Punjabi cinema has grown a lot.
02:35I have with me Doreen Chopra ji,
02:38who has played a very important role in this film.
02:41Amrinder Pal Singh is with me.
02:43You can talk to him about the film.
02:46Kuljinder Siddhu ji will join us in a few minutes.
02:49You can talk to him as well.
02:51What is the eye-witness of Gurmukh?
02:54Gurmukh is a protagonist of our film.
02:58He is a main character.
03:00He has a lot of faith in the Sikhs.
03:03But he does not know what Sikhism is.
03:06In life, an incident takes place
03:09and that incident is a witness.
03:12But symbolically,
03:14if a person understands religion,
03:17then he becomes a witness of religion.
03:20In this sense, we have brought this film with us.
03:23We have gathered here to screen the film.
03:26You must have read the posters of Gurmukh.
03:29We have written and directed the film.
03:32We have started special screenings.
03:35We have screened in Chandigarh, Mahali,
03:38Ludhiana, Patiala and Amritsar.
03:41This film is about the character of Gurmukh.
03:44He is a common man, a mechanic.
03:47He is a person who wants to speak about anything.
03:50But he has his own system and society.
03:53When a poor person wants to speak the truth,
03:56he has to fight for the truth.
03:59He has to fight for the truth.
04:02He has to fight for the truth.
04:05He has to fight for the truth.
04:09This is the plot of the film.
04:12You all know Gurleen Chopra.
04:15She is the heroine of this film.
04:18She has done many projects in Bollywood.
04:21My younger brother, Veer Amrinder,
04:24has recently appeared in the Netflix series, Kora.
04:27Our director, Ali Bapindar,
04:30has a great personality.
04:33He is a social media personality.
04:37He has done many films.
04:40He has directed and written the film, Stupid 7.
04:43He has written many films.
04:46He is a great writer and director
04:49of Punjab's theatre industry.
04:52He has been in the theatre industry
04:55for the past 25-30 years.
04:58He is also a part of a team
05:01that has made this film.
05:05This film is not a hero-heroine story.
05:08It is a story of characters.
05:11All the characters,
05:14and the actors who have played them,
05:17will tell you that
05:20each actor has done his best
05:23with his character.
05:26I think Punjabi cinema
05:29is a blue stone in itself.
05:32The OTT platform, Cable 1,
05:35will be released on 9th January.
05:38Cable 1 is a platform
05:41like Netflix, Amazon,
05:44and many other platforms.
05:47In Punjab, many OTT platforms
05:50have been launched.
05:53Cable 1 was launched by Saga Group.
05:56It is a recent OTT platform
05:59which already has a lot of content.
06:02It already has a lot of OTT films.
06:05Gurmukh will be their first original film
06:08which will be released on 24th January.
06:22It will not be released in cinemas.
06:25It will not be released in cinemas
06:28because Cable 1 was a decision
06:31of our producers
06:34to dub this film in 9 languages.
06:37Their slogan is
06:40Stories from Punjab, for the world.
06:43They wanted to make it
06:46as an original content
06:49and launch their platform
06:52on this film.
06:55OTT platform Cable 1
06:58will be launched on 9th January.
07:01The film will be 100% different.
07:04It will not only be different for me
07:07but also for the audience.
07:10Pug is a crown
07:13but most youngsters
07:16think of it as a part of a costume.
07:19Pug is not just a part of a costume
07:22but a responsibility.
07:43Any film is made for the audience.
07:46When the audience reacts to the film
07:49the producers and actors
07:52get a chance to create
07:55a new story or content.
07:58We are getting a good response
08:01on Sikh history.
08:04We can't say it is Sikh history
08:07but it is our right
08:10to make a film based on Sikh history.
08:13It is our right
08:16to make a film based on Sikh history.
08:19It is our right
08:22to make a film based on Sikh history.
08:25It is our right
08:28to make a film based on Sikh history.
08:31It is our right
08:34to make a film based on Sikh history.
08:37It is our right
08:40to make a film based on Sikh history.
08:43It is our right
08:46to make a film based on Sikh history.
