"Chamkila" is a 2023 Punjabi biographical film directed by Anurag Singh, which portrays the life and career of the legendary Punjabi singer, Amar Singh Chamkila. The film features Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role as Chamkila and Neeru Bajwa as his wife and musical partner, Amarjot.

The story begins with Chamkila's early life in a small village in Punjab, where he discovers his passion for music at a young age. Despite facing resistance from his family, Chamkila pursues his dreams and starts performing at local events.

As Chamkila's talent gains recognition, he forms a musical duo with Amarjot. Together, they revolutionize Punjabi music with their unique style and bold lyrics, addressing social issues, love, and everyday life in Punjab.

The film portrays Chamkila's rise to fame and the challenges he faces along the way. His unapologetic approach to songwriting earns him both adulation and criticism. Despite the controversies surrounding his music, Chamkila remains committed to expressing the realities of Punjabi society through his songs.

However, as Chamkila's popularity soars, he becomes entangled in the politics of the music industry and faces threats from various quarters. Amidst all this, his personal life with Amarjot also undergoes ups and downs, but their bond remains strong.

Tragically, the film depicts the fateful day in 1988 when Chamkila and Amarjot were brutally murdered, leaving a void in the Punjabi music scene. The movie not only celebrates Chamkila's musical legacy but also delves into the socio-political environment of Punjab during that time.

"Chamkila" is a tribute to the iconic singer who dared to challenge conventions and became a voice of the people through his music, leaving an indelible mark on Punjabi culture.
