Our take
Made in a DIY fashion, this Punjabi indie is a testament to the audacious passion of its crew. Backed by Ramnish Chaudhary’s gut-wrenching portrayal of the titular Jaggi, Anmol Sidhu’s remarkable directorial debut boldly confronts toxic masculinity and clichéd Punjabi machismo tropes onscreen.
