Shahkot movie review: Guru Randhawa, Isha Talwar star in a deeply felt, thought-provoking film | Movie-review News

The town of Shahkot in Punjab marks one of the many intersections between India and Pakistan, nations with a shared history that have vacillated between hatred and amity, with the former triumphing more than the latter. Written and directed by Rajiv Dhingra, and starring Guru Randhawa, Isha Talwar and Raj Babbar, the Punjabi-language romance drama Shahkot (2024), makes a bold statement as it explores the possibility of friendship and love winning despite all odds. Iqbal (Guru Randhawa) and Sharafat (Gurshabad Singh) meet while trying to sneak out to foreign lands out of their respective countries. When Iqbal is caught in Pakistan, he is mistaken to be from Shahkot, Pakistan, and starts finding a way to get back home and evade the police. In doing so, he starts working in Abbaji’s (Raj Babbar) home, a politician whose clout keeps Iqbal from being detected. His daughter Marvi Cheema (Isha Talwar) takes a liking to Iqbal, but her father is all set to get her married to Nihaal. Iqbal is torn between doing the right thing and looking …

Guru Randhawa reacts to lawsuit filed by Jasleen Royal against him

Days after reports of Jasleen Royal filing a lawsuit against label T-Series, lyricist Raj Ranjodh, and singer Guru Randhawa hit headlines, Randhawa says “it’s her right” to fight her case. “I usually write and compose my own songs. The song in question, however, was written by Raj [Ranjodh], who has previously written a lot of songs in the Punjabi language. [My team] removed the song from all the platforms on the day we learned that there is [a dispute]. I have not composed or written it; I am only the singer,” says Randhawa, adding that any dispute regarding the ownership of the number should have transpired between the lyricist and Royal.  The Heeriye singer, however, refutes that any exchange of ownership rights occurred. “Neither were the rights transferred nor was any paperwork executed. No money was even received [by me]. This is also why this whole episode is unsettling,” she tells mid-day, adding that she finds the “disregard for creative ownership” showcased in this incident disrespectful. “I composed this song for Ajay Devgn Ffilms to …

Jasleen Royal takes legal action against T-Series, Guru Randhawa

Singer Jasleen Royal has filed a lawsuit against label T-Series, lyricist  Raj Ranjodh, and singer Guru Randhawa at the Bombay High Court to protect her music copyright. According to a statement, the lawsuit names T-Series, Raj Ranjodh, and singer Guru Randhawa for unauthorised use of her musical works in the song christened “All Right” from the album “G Thing”. The statement read that Jasleen created the original music compositions in 2022 for a potential track in the promotional events of the Ajay Devgn-starrer “Runway 34.” The compositions were shared with lyricist Raj Ranjodh over audio-video calls and messages and subsequently incorporated into a scratch version of the song. Guru, who is known for songs such as “Patola”, “High Rated Gabru”, “Soorma” and “Ishaare Tere”, was in mind for the vocals. However, the scratch recorded by Punjabi singer was unsatisfactory to Jasleen, leading to a fall in the collaboration and Jasleen had all rights to the music. In 2023, Jasleen realised that the song “All Right,” released by T-Series and featuring vocals by Guru Randhawa, embodied …
