Mumbai, May 02

The makers of actor-singer King B Chouhan and actress Malvi Malhotra's upcoming Punjabi situational comedy "Dama Dum Mast Kalandar" unveiled an exciting teaser from the drama on Saturday.

Slated to reach the movie buffs on May 22 this year, the film has been made under the direction of Sukhvir Singh.

Jointly backed by Starmoon Film Productions in collaboration with Chakora Productions, "Dama Dum Mast Kalandar" has been set against the backdrop of NRI life. It shares the journey of two friends as they navigate the everyday struggles of working abroad, where situations often spiral into unexpected and humorous turns.

The story explores the various dynamics of friendship and how one's search for stability leads them back home.

King B Chouhan, who will essay the role of Kalandar in the drama, shared, "I found the story extremely relatable, as I've had a similar journey in the industry over the past 17 years. It deeply resonated with me. Being born and brought up in Punjab, I feel a strong connection to the place-I think about going back almost every day. So in many ways, this story is very close to my heart. When I first heard it, I instantly felt it was the perfect opportunity to express my emotions."

Shedding light on the message of the film, he went on to add, "The message of our story is simple: when we go abroad, we should never forget where we come from. If we get the chance to return and serve our motherland, we should embrace it. No matter how settled we are overseas, a part of us always longs to be back home."

Along with King B Chouhan, "Dama Dum Mast Kalandar" also features Anita Devgan, Rupinder Rupi, Mintu Kapa, Sukhdev Barnala, Manpreet Singh, Pritish Narula, and Sammy Gill in key roles.

Finally a film that talks about the real NRI experience instead of just showing flashy cars and big houses. My brother works in Dubai and he faces these everyday struggles too. The teaser looks promising. Hope it does justice to the topic.

As someone who moved to the US for work, I get this completely. The humor in unexpected situations abroad is so relatable. King B Chouhan's message about not forgetting your roots is powerful. Looking forward to May 22!

I appreciate the sentiment, but I hope the film doesn't just romanticize returning home. Many NRIs stay abroad because of better opportunities and that's okay too. The 'never forget where you come from' message is nice, but it shouldn't make people feel guilty for wanting a better life elsewhere. Just my two cents.

The title 'Dama Dum Mast Kalandar' itself is so iconic! 🎶 Brings back memories of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. I'm hoping this film has some good music too. The storyline about friendship and homecoming sounds perfect for a light-hearted watch with family.
