Personal details
- Professions: Director, Art Department, Writer
Sharan Art’s got his fingerprints all over some of the most talked-about films in the Punjabi industry lately. Mastaney (2023), Galwakdi (2022), and, of course, Rabb Da Radio 2 (2019) – the one that really put him on the map. That was his big directorial debut, and honestly? The dude knocked it out of the park. Not only did Rabb Da Radio 2 snag a National Award, it also made a bit of history by being the first real sequel in Punjabi cinema. Kinda wild, right? You’d think someone would’ve tried that before. So, Rabb Da Radio 2 is not your typical cookie-cutter family drama. It dives headfirst into all the sticky, complicated stuff that comes with family ties in Punjab. There’s Tarsem Jassar and Simmi Chahal leading the cast – both of them with this easy chemistry that just works. The story picks up where the first film left off, but it’s got its own vibe. You see old wounds, unspoken grudges, and those moments where everyone’s talking, but no one’s really saying what they mean. Some scenes hit way too close to home if you’ve got a big extended family. The music? Pure gold, fits right into every emotional beat. Vehli Janta Films backed this one, and you can tell they didn’t cut corners. The look and feel of rural Punjab is everywhere – from the fields to the verandas. It’s a movie that doesn’t try too hard, but still manages to hit you right in the feels. Sharan Art’s direction just ties it all together, making it more than just another family story.
Ludhiana’s film scene is buzzing, and someone over there is clearly busy, hammering out scripts for fresh movies. The city’s got this gritty energy, you know? It seeps into the stories being written—maybe there’s a wild love story, a twisty crime flick, or something totally offbeat nobody’s seen before. These writers aren’t just sitting around daydreaming; they’re wrestling with dialogue, building characters that’ll stick in your head, maybe even tossing in a plot twist that’ll make you spit out your chai. You can almost hear the frantic tapping of keyboards, the crumpling of draft pages, the late-night snack runs. Every new script is a gamble, really—will it blow up in theaters or just fizzle out? That’s the magic and the madness of filmmaking in Punjab’s heartland. It’s all about taking risks and hoping the next big hit is hiding in those pages.
