After a number of comedies, Kirpaan: The Sword of Honour is finally a film where you get to see a different genre in Punjabi Cinema. But that too offers no relief to the viewers as the only one thing positive about the movie is its concept.

Kirpaan is the story of Jasbir Singh Beeru (Roshan Prince). Hailing from the family of martyrs, Jasbir is a total opposite to his legacy. In sync with the new generation, he is a spoiled college going boy. After failing in his life miserably he decides to shift to England. But he hardly finds any luck there either. With everyone including his family against him, he decides to end his life. But a sudden strange incident stops him from doing that, and helps him in realising his true identity and the mission of his life.

As mentioned above the movie can be applauded for a good concept. But what goes wrong here is the executing part. Had the story been more matured, things could have been way better. Also the screenplay is very poor and monotonous. Such things are not expected from Amrik Gill, who has been a writer in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and several other hindi movies.

Though Music Director, Gurmeet Singh has tried to bring a variety to the tracklist, still music here is an average affair.  The only highlight is Ehsas da Rishta sung by Roshan Prince. For Director, Amrik Gill this is a debut and it was evident on the screen. He has given an average direction to the movie.

In the acting department, you find everyone doing a satisfactory job. Inteterstingly you find a little good action in the movie; the fighting sequence shot at a fort where Jasbir fights with a British Sergeant is good.

All in all with some shaky camera moments, some disturbing fading effects, poor setups, irrelevant supporting cast, and technicalities far from being worked out, Kirpaan is an utter disappointment.

Punjabi Mania rates it 1.5/5
