Before Mitti De Putt, Revisit Shareek: When Land Turns Family Into Enemies

Mitti De Putt offers a new Punjabi-cinema route into inherited conflict, but viewers looking for a spoiler-light companion have a strong place to start: Shareek. Navaniat Singh’s 2015 drama centres on cousins battling over land, making family itself the pressure point. Mitti De Putt begins from a different crisis, yet its long-running village feud also turns an old rivalry into one young man’s immediate burden.

This is a thematic pairing, not a claim that one film remakes or influenced the other. The connection is the way inherited disputes reshape kinship. The difference is equally useful: Shareek is organised around contested land, while Mitti De Putt follows a young man trying to bring his mother home after his uncle takes her away.

What Shareek puts at stake

Shareek keeps its central conflict direct. Cousins are fighting over a piece of land, with the dispute placing property, loyalty and family identity in the same frame. Jimmy Shergill, Mahie Gill and Simar Gill lead the cast, with Guggu Gill also among the film’s credited performers.

That makes it a useful revisit for viewers drawn less to a generic action label than to a Punjabi family drama in which a domestic relationship becomes the arena of conflict. The recommendation does not depend on revealing how the dispute ends; the pull is in the premise itself, and in the way a family claim becomes a source of rivalry.

What Mitti De Putt changes

Mitti De Putt, directed by R Malkana, is listed for a September 18, 2026 cinema release. Its cast includes Dev Khroud, Sharan Kaur, Vikramjeet Virk and Yograj Singh. The setup shifts the stakes from a cousin dispute to two villages whose rivalry has outlived the people who began it.

For its young protagonist, that history becomes personal when his uncle kills his grandparents and carries his mother away. His mission is therefore a rescue as well as a confrontation with the relative at the centre of the violence. That is a different story engine from Shareek’s land-centred contest, even though both films begin with relationships that ought to offer belonging becoming a source of danger.

Choose Shareek first if the attraction is a family drama built around disputed property and cousin rivalry. Keep Mitti De Putt on the list for its more overt rescue mission within an inherited village feud. Together, they offer two distinct Punjabi-film approaches to the same broad question: what remains when a family conflict is handed down like property.
