5. Jatt & Juliet (2012)
Streaming On: JioHotstar
IMDb Rating: 7.5/10
Director: Anurag Singh
Plot: Jatt & Juliet redefined rom-coms in Punjabi cinema. Featuring Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa in lead roles, the story follows Fateh, a brash, small-town guy, and Pooja, a no-nonsense woman from Punjab. While their only common ground is a flight to Canada, the duo soon find themselves forced into each other’s company due to some hilarious circumstances. Eventually, the sparks fly, and their quirky clashes, love-hate banter, and sweet romance make way for a massive blockbuster and the start of a beloved franchise.
Plot: Another classic starring Diljit Dosanjh, Babe Bhangra Paunde Ne is an offbeat Punjabi comedy. The movie revolves around Jaggi (Dosanjh) and his friends, who scheme to adopt elderly Iqbal (Sohail Ahmed) for his insurance money to pay off their debt. While Jaggi starts by making desperate (and hilarious) money-making schemes, he eventually ends up finding a father figure in Iqbal. The film perfectly blends a heartwarming tale and a laugh riot. It also stars Sargun Mehta.
3. Shadaa (2019)
Streaming On: JioHotstar
IMDb Rating: 6.2/10
Director: Jagdeep Sidhu & Mahinder Singh
Plot: Yet another Diljit Dosanjh film, Shadaa weaves romance and humor in the finest possible way. Dosanjh plays a charming bachelor in his 30s, whose parents constantly pressure him to settle down. Following a series of matchmaking misfires, hope arrives in the form of Vanjhali (Neeru Bajwa). However, just when things start feeling right, fate throws a hilarious curveball and things fail to go as planned. With a delightful chemistry and laugh-out-loud twists, this film is ideal for anyone who has ever been through a rishta meeting.
2. Carry On Jatta 2 (2018)

Plot: This Gippy Grewal-led sequel offers the ultimate laugh riot. The story follows Jass, an orphan desperate to move to Canada. He falls for an NRI girl, who insists on marrying into a big, traditional family. A rib-tickling chain of fake identities, ridiculous cover-ups, and escalating chaos follows as Jass pretends to have the “perfect family.” Carry On Jatta 2 was a massive blockbuster and continues to be part of a fan-favorite Punjabi franchise.
