Kya aap ek aisi slow-burn drama film dekhne ke liye taiyar hain jo 141 minutes lambi hai aur aapko shuru se bandh kar rakhegi? Agar aapka jawab haan hai, toh Punjabi language ki nayi film Birds in the Dark ko apni watchlist mein zaroor shamil kijiye.
Director Shashank Walia ki ye film romance aur drama genres ko aapas mein jodti hai. 2026-10-10 ko release hone wali is film ke lead cast mein Mauli Singh, Sapna Das, aur Harwinder Singh Aujla shamil hain.
Birds in the Dark, chhota sa verdict
Ye film un darshako ke liye bilkul nahi hai jo fast-paced action ya masala entertainment ke shaukeen hain. Agar aapko thoda thehar kar chalne wali stories pasand hain, tabhi aapko iska 2 hours 21 minutes ka lamba safar ras aayega.
Shashank Walia ne romance aur drama ko jis tarah se frame kiya hai, wo har kisi ke taste ki baat nahi hai. Jo log serious cinema ke fan hain aur thoda patience rakh sakte hain, unke liye ye ek accha experience ban sakti hai.
Kahani kis baare mein hai
Kahani ki shuruat mein ek police informant, jiska kirdaar Harwinder Singh Aujla nibha rahe hain, wo Amir naam ke ek Muslim man ko Kashmir se custody mein leta hai. Ye dono jungle aur mountains ke raste ek busy city ki taraf safar karte hain.
Safar ke dauran Jagtar achanak Amir ko free kar deta hai aur khud apne us hometown wapas laut jata hai jahan se wo kabhi bhaga tha. Wahan pahunch kar use apni purani lover Raman milti hai jo ek landowner hai, aur us samay wahan agricultural workers ek struggle shuru karne ki taiyari kar rahe hote hain.
Dusri taraf, Amir us town mein Jagtar ki talaash mein aata hai aur wahan workers organization ke leader Dilraj se milta hai. Is mulaqat ke baad Amir ko wahan ke logo ke sath ek naya connection aur solidarity mehsus hone lagti hai.
Director ka track record aur ye film
Director Shashank Walia ki pichli film In the Month of Love (2019) thi, jisne darshako ke beech ek alag jagah banai thi. Us romantic drama ke baad ab director ne Birds in the Dark ke zariye romance aur drama ka ek naya angle samne rakha hai.
In the Month of Love ke mukable is nayi film ka canvas thoda alag aur gehra lagta hai, kyunki yahan junglon aur mountains ke safar ke sath-sath workers ki politics aur purane rishto ki uljhanein bhi hain. Reema Kaur ki editing aur Shashank Walia ki khud ki cinematography is film ko unki pichli release se ek alag hi direction deti hai.
Jahan tak streaming ki baat hai, India mein abhi koi platform confirm nahi hai, isliye iske OTT release par filhal guess karna galat hoga aur details announce nahi hui hain.
Kya achha, kya kamzor
Director Shashank Walia ki pichli film In the Month of Love (2019) ke baad, is project mein unka vision aur bhi clear lagta hai kyunki woh khud writer aur director hone ke sath-sath Director of Photography bhi hain. Harwinder Singh Aujla ne police informant Jagtar ka role nibhaya hai, jabki Mauli Singh ne workers ke leader Dilraj ki bhumika ada ki hai. Navdeep Bajwa ne Raman yaani landowner aur purane lover ke roop mein screen share kiya hai. Shahnawaz Bhat ne Amir ke kirdar mein Kashmir ke ek Muslim aadmi ki journey ko dikhaya hai jise jungle aur pahadon se hote hue shehar le jaya jata hai.
Technical department mein editor Reema Kaur ka kaam film ki 141 minutes yaani 2 ghante 21 minute ki lambai ko tight rakhne ki koshish karta hai, jisse yeh drama bina kisi extra stretch ke aage badhta hai. Agar aapko site par maujood Aussie at Heart ka vibe pasand aaya tha, toh yahan ka romance aur political struggle ka mix thoda alag lagega lekin engaging hai. Sapna Das ne Rinku ke roop mein supporting cast ko majboot kiya hai. Shahnawaz Bhat aur Mauli Singh ke beech ki solidarity wali bonding film ke doosre hisse mein kafi dhyan khinchti hai.
Kamzoriyon ki baat karein toh kuch jagah par pacing slow pad jati hai, khaas kar jab Jagtar apne hometown wapas laut kar agricultural workers ki struggle ko dikhata hai. Vishwanath & Sons ki tarah yahan koi heavy mainstream masala entertainment nahi milegi, isliye jin logon ko fast-paced commercial cinema pasand hai, unke liye ye thodi heavy aur dheemi lag sakti hai. Lekin agar aapko grounded, serious aur drama-heavy films pasand hain jaisi ki Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma mein milti hain, toh aapko yeh journey pasand ayegi.
Kiske liye ye film hai
Ye film unhi darshakon ke liye bani hai jo Punjabi cinema mein romance aur serious drama ka ek alag, grim aur political mix dekhna chahte hain. 141 minutes yani 2 ghante 21 minute ka runtime lamba zaroor hai, isliye aaram se waqt nikal kar baithna padega. Jaise Srinivasa Mangapuram dekhte waqt ek patient mind ki zarurat padti hai, waisa hi dhar ya patience yahan bhi chahiye hoga.
Agar aapko indie-style storytelling pasand hai jo jungle aur mountains ke safar se shuru hokar ek gaon ki politics aur kisanon ki struggle tak jati hai, toh director Shashank Walia ka yeh kaam aapko disappoint nahi karega. One Night Only ya On the Sea ki tarah yeh koi light-hearted weekend watch nahi hai, balki isme heavy emotional aur political layers hain jo sirf serious cinema lovers ko hi appeal karengi.
Agar aapko action-packed masala ya comedy ki talash hai, toh aapko yeh film skip karni chahiye. Lekin agar aapko character-driven aur slow-burn regional drama pasand hai, toh aap ise apni watch-list mein zaroor add karein. Mauli Singh aur Harwinder Singh Aujla ki performance is lambe safar ko dekhne layak bana deti hai.
