4 reasons to watch Lekh in cinema halls
Gurnam Bhullar
There's a reason why our movie review's title was based around singer-turned-actor Gurnam Bhullar. In what was a rare thing to do, it is the exact same reason why Bhullar's best work in the acting space thus far deserves to be watched in cinema halls.
Bhullar, whose acting career comprised of unconventional choices even before Lekh, has not just made a choice this time but also engineered it to a level needed for the success of this movie.
Evolved storytelling
Manvir Brar's directorial debut has been written by Jagdeep Sidhu. Having made a name for himself in the romantic genre, Sidhu has added another feather in the cap to his filmography.
Brar, who had worked as an assistant director in Sidhu's 'Shadaa' (2019), 'Surkhi Bindi' (2019) and 'Sufna' (2020), teaming up with him in the capacity of a director has terminated in an excellent movie.
Lekh, which will be remembered for its lesson at the climax, manages to be bereft of the repeated recipes in the Punjabi film industry. Instead, the movie does quite well in putting on display an alternative and more practical ending to a love story.
Tania
A ramification of being consistently good is that the audiences start treating it as routine work. Considering how maintaining a commendable routine is no mean task, Tania deserves accolades for being the 'Ronak' of the movie.
While other elements of the movie have it in them to leave a more endearing impact at first, only time will make you realize that the same wouldn't have been possible without Tania's performance.
Music
Even at the cost of sounding repetitive, it is worth a mention that music director-lyricist duo of B Praak and Jaani manage to not just create a praiseworthy album but further up the ante regarding their work as a pair.
When it comes to music for movies, the beyond comparison tuning between Sidhu, B Praak and Jaani has it in it to become the best-ever in the Punjabi film industry.
