Aiven Raula Pai Gaya

Raula Pai Gaya is a hilarious comedy but unlike the present genre of " leave your brains behind" comedies, this allows you to have fun while keeping your values, sensitivities and reason intact ! Each of the many sub-plot smoothly melt into one another. Jaswinder Bhalla as the professor who cannot control his libido even inside the campus has great value for the traditional 'dosti'. The hero Ravinder Grewal holds his position with good acting skills armored with compositions in his own voice of excellent songs which are well interspersed throughout the movie. Sardar Sohi is the Amrish Puri of Punjabi cinema and his acting is superb as the Chacha ji. Binnu Dhillon playing a prankster does a wonderful role and has everyone in splits all the time. And B N Sharma takes the cake with his role as the gullible, half drunk, error-prone assistant to Chacha ji. Maninder Vaily does bulky justice to his character as Ravinder's friend. The Director and story writer Atharv Baluja has taken Punjabi Cinema to a much higher level by bringing in the culture and character of Punjab , the values that still can take on the test of time while interweaving it with the modern times. It is easy to have a comedy that borders on sleaze and double entendre or 'leave your brain behind' stupid spoofs which are a mix of slap stick and 'pure' entertainment – 'pure' meaning pandering to the basest of desires. Raula Pai Gaya remains grounded as a family entertainment which does not make you slip into the baser regions of your self. Moreover the Director gives space to each character to bring out his best while not harming the harmony or the story line– a rare achievement. A wonderful mix of family values, the pulls of the modern times, comedy , romance and Punjabi music. A must watch for the Punjabi buffs !
