I appreciate the sentiment, but using VFX to bring back a deceased actor feels a bit risky. Hope they've done it with proper permission from the family and it doesn't look artificial. The 'Ghodi' ladder return is classic though!
This franchise just keeps getting better! Carry On Jatta 3 was hilarious, and now with this tribute? Gippy Grewal and Smeep Kang never disappoint. Punjabi cinema ka level hi alag hai! 🙌
Not gonna lie, I'm skeptical about CGI recreating a legend like Bhalla sahab. Technology can do wonders but nothing beats the original energy he brought. Still, I'll watch it for Binnu Dhillon and Gurpreet Ghuggi - those guys are comedy gold.
This is so heartwarming. Jaswinder Bhalla ji was a gem - his comic timing was unmatched. I'm glad they didn't just replace him but found a way to include him. Shows the love the entire industry had for him. Definitely watching opening day!
I hope the VFX tribute is done tastefully and not just for marketing. Bhalla sahab deserves dignity. That said, the 'Ghodi' comeback and the whole cast lineup look promising. Fingers crossed it matches the OG film's magic! 🤞
