Ambarsariya (2016) Online

Let's talk about first thing first, the background score, script execution and the climax is the highlight of this story. The movie starts with Jatt Ambarsariya (Diljit Dosanjh) sitting on a manjee (typical North Indian cot/seater) narrating his story to a Dhaba (Motel) owner (Karamjit Anmol) and his Dhaba (Motel) staff and also briefly joined by an SHO Punjab Police (Binnu Dhillon). Diljit tells about his adventure as an undercover agent posing as an insurance agent and his encounters with three women while on a secret government mission. While all are betting on whom Jatt Ambarsariya will choose/has chosen as his girlfriend out of the three ladies, Ambarsariya has different intentions altogether. There are only two songs in this movie and both are amazing to listen to. Ambarsariya is one of a kind movie made in Punjabi cinema, never seen before, the script is well executed although the story falls loose in the middle, this is however over-shadowed by Diljit's acting skills and ability to deliver one-liners with perfect timing. The background score of this movie gets full marks. The movie goes in flashback and returns briefly at regular intervals which is also timed well. The climax scene steals the show. Overall this is a very good movie to watch.

I honestly want to know what Dheraaj Ratan was thinking when he wrote the story of Ambarsariya, even Director Mandeep Kumar of Jinhe Mere Dil Luteya fame must have lost all of his senses when accepting this script to direct. The films main core crux is pathetic, the whole raw agent angle, and especially the films climax is cringe worthy bad, and laughable. The story had potential but was translated on screen in a childish manner (literally).The films only saving grace is Punjab's rising superstar Diljit Donsaj,he saves the film to an extent with his impeccable comic timing, but that wasn't enough this time around. A film like Ambarsariya had mammoth expectations,Dosanj is at his peak ( his fame singing wise and acting wise is huge worldwide at the moment),and Kumar is a hit director and was working with a hit punjabi script writer Dheraaj Ratan. I just don't understand with so much potential how did things go so haywire in the writing department. But more in depth analysis on that later.

Story wise the film is about Jatt Ambarsariya who lives dual life as a RAW agent and insurance agent. He is put on a mission to save the honest and idealistic Home Minister of Punjab from a drug mafia who is plotting the minister's murder. During the course of the mission, Jatt Ambarsariya also meets Jasleen Kaur, his boss at the insurance company and Kirat his landlord. How he balances his love triangle with the two mentioned above, and how he saves the home minister is what forms the films crux.

Acting wise Diljit Dosanj is at his comic best again, one just wishes he would expand his acting profile a bit, and show more layers in his act especially when he is supposed to play a RAW agent. Being a little more serious, and working on his action would have gone a long way in this film for him. If he keeps treading the same path he will be the Indian Kevin Hart, no will take his acting seriously people will just laugh at me till he is trending, that is until they find the next scapegoat. Navneet Kaur Dhillion, Laureen Gottlieb, and Monica Gill just add glamour. Rest of the casts special appearances were adequate.

What works for Ambarsariya is the film has the signature Diljit humour, where his one liners, and gags will keep the audience laughing throughout the film at different junctures. Diljit and his great music is the only saving grace of the film. However I did like the way Diljit investigated the 3 Jaspreet's it was a novel concept and a very funny series of sequences. But even Diljit's humour is losing its novelty because he is repeating himself in every film. He needs to reinvent himself. Now to the bad part,the films core concept, and script is a huge letdown. The whole raw agent, and assassination angle was not presented properly therefore everything to do with this subplot looked pathetic. Especially the climax, were the missing link aka the killer was revealed,that whole scene needed to be edited out and shot again with a new killer, what was shown on screen was damn stupid. And the whole layer cake rip off of not revealing the hero's name is again a pathetic move by the makers, because they are trying to rip off a classic.

Overall while I wont lie I did laugh quite a few times during the films duration, but it just wasn't enough to make Ambarsariya a good film this is because expectations were high from Diljit, Director Mandeep Kumar and writer Dheraaj Ratan, and they have failed with dumb concept in this film which had potential, but nothing was too see on screen. This film is a DVD watch, you will probably enjoy it more at home then at theatres unless your a die hard Diljit fan then a theatre watch is warranted.... I guess.

2.5/5* Grade: 56% C-

Liking Or Not Liking A Film Depend On Sort Expectations Which You Have From Film Before Watching The Film. I Am Saying So Because If You Go Expecting An Entertainer Then Diljit And Company Will Not Disappoint You But If You Are Going For Good Film Then Its Too Much To Ask For. Though Film Built Some Hopes In 1st Half But 2nd Half Was A Let Down. Film Is Mystery Drama Which Got A Good Built Up For Last But Lost Completely In Execution In The End. Predictibility Is Worst Thing To Happen With A Mystery Drama And Thats Biggest Negative Of Ambarsariya. Talking About Plusses Film Never Fails In Entertaining And Obviously Diljit. I Am Keenly Waiting To See Actor In Diljit Dosanjh In Udta Punjab Whosw Signs We Saw In Punjab 1984. It Feel Sad Seeing Actors Like Gurpreet Ghuggi And Rana Ranbir Getting Waste. But Still For Entertainment Film Offers. Rating : 5/10

Diljit's charm, coupled with the beautiful faces and seasoned talent offers a complete package. Replete with jolly jokes, delightful songs, and parallel story lines which keep you riveted, only the end seems a little off track. But everything else seems to more than compensate for this mildly weak plot. The non-linearity of the plot is brought out beautifully and the short, crisp interludes add to the excitement. Some shots, no doubt, seem to be clearly unnecessary, specially towards the end. But then, a movie can't be straight out perfect. Overall a great piece of art, which can set precedence for the many more to come for the forthcoming Punjabi film industry.

I saw this movie yesterday and found it average on all parameters making it one time watch movie. Daljit dosanjh who is amongst the best actors in punjabi industry has lived upto the expectation in this movie by carrying the entire movie on his shoulders. Movie is very much hero centric with One liners and Clichés to keep the ball rolling. Movie has a good script but lacks good execution. Daljit dosanjh is moving to become salman khan of Punjabi cinema whose presence sells the movie. Music is average, Screenplay is good. Female actors does not make any impact in the movie while lauren seems to be struggling with her Punjabi

Good luck for future project. Awaiting to see something of Jatt and Juliet level from Diljit.
