Lekh Movie Review

The Fault in Our Stars? No! By Default, in Our Stars.


I, personally, never have fallen in love, but I am a sucker for love stories. On top, Jagdeep Sidhu has given a couple of ache anthems in the past. So, does Lekh happen to be another Jagdeep phenomenon? The answer is much too much.

Lekh sets out in an adorable fashion. You instantly take to Bhullar’s naiveté. He would puncture his own tire to discuss pickles with his interest. She, too, more conscious yet twitterpated, wants Mel Karade Rabba both cinematically and really.

Nonetheless, the shows get cancelled.

The story written by Sidhu is cinematic evolution. I cannot reveal what happens, but it happens for the best. The characters are etched out well. They are not unilateral. Consider Tania’s love for plants or the persiflage between Bhullar and his father. Love has come, but life is still there.

Bhullar’s is a performance par excellence. The scene when Tania pops up in his house is a testimony to his toasty acting skills. Maybe, the director, Brar, is the reason. Tania is very good, too. The scene in which she lets out the fact that girls cannot be heroic because there are heroes in their households delivers like stink what the makers wanted.

I don’t think I need to mention the music, and Jaani’s lyrics are an opera.

There are minor hiccups. Bhullar falls down from his bike every now and then. Perhaps, I have not met a Romeo yet, but, socially, this demonstration is wrong. Boys are already victims of hyper-heroism, and this may just add to that. Also, who finds a painter near Punjab railway tracks?

However, who cares? In all, Lekh gives us a logical and lovable end. This movie is a milestone in the Punjabi film industry.

Rating 4/5
