About This Movie

So, Patola from 1988 isn’t one that you come across all the time. Directed by Jagjeet, it's set in the Punjabi film scene and carries that unique regional flair. The performances have this earnestness that feels very much of its time, with music by Mohammad Sadiq lending a nice backdrop. There’s a certain pacing that makes it feel like you're settling into a cozy family drama, with a blend of traditional themes woven throughout. While the plot might not break new ground, it has a distinctive charm that captures the essence of Punjabi culture during that era. Definitely worth a look if you’re into regional films, especially from the late '80s.

Patola has seen a limited release on home media, making it a bit of a treasure hunt for collectors. It's often overshadowed by more mainstream titles, which adds to its scarcity. The film's connection to Punjabi culture and its earnest storytelling makes it a noteworthy find for those interested in regional cinema from the late 80s. Keep an eye out for any rare prints or screenings, as these could be gems in a collector's library.
