This is the story of a man who lives two lives at the same time. On one hand, he's madly in love with the girl of his dreams, and can go to any extent to prove it. On the other, he's involved in other activities in the past, that come back to haunt him in his present.
With his rural Punjabi outlook, Jimmy show cases the true spirit of heroism who shoots down the heroine and her school time love. Surween's family is no mood to listen to the demand of the daughter and is inclined to get a rural Punjabi simpleton for the match. The movie is of less than 2 hours but its music and songs are enthralling. The music and songs are at par with any good Hindi movie.
Jimmy Shergill does not get much press coverage, but he is one of the best actors we have today. He is outstanding in the movie. talking about the direction We do not know much about Baljit Singh Deo, but we can definitely say that he did a good job with the thriller.
