Mera Pind My Home
Navjot Singh Sidhu is a rich, fun-loving guy who grew up in the west. He has now returned to his homeland where he is happily settled in a small village in Punjab. The lives of the village youths, led by Harbhajan Mann, are transformed by Sidhu’s simple, enterprising initiatives.
As time goes by, the village is transformed into a sparkling hamlet that in fact becomes a model for nearby villages. Mera Pind (meaning my home) is a thought-provoking, Punjabi movie depicting the challenges and circumstances of individuals living in a small village.
The movie has a strong underlying message, showcasing the importance of being an entrepreneur in your own land, rather than taking skills and qualities abroad. The film portrays Punjabis living abroad as hardworking and successful people in the eyes of their fellow citizens back in Punjab.
Successful and globally popular Punjabi singer and actor Harbhajan plays the lead role in this film. He is ably supported by Kimi Varma, a familiar face in Punjabi cinema.
Like most Manmohan Singh movies, Mera Pind also has a perfect mix of romance, family bonding and a strong musical score. As a director, Manmohan Singh, has many box office hits to his credit including Mitti Wajaan Maardi, Asaan Nu Maan Watnaan Da, Jee Aayaan Nu, Yaaran Naal Baharaan and Dil Apna Punjabi.
He is also an award winning cinematographer and has worked on Bollywood movies like Darr, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai and Mohabbatein.
Mera Pind is expected to be a success in UK cinemas when it releases (by Adlabs Films based in London).

Sidhu played a role of rich punjabi NRI in this movie. He tried to put in to the brain of punjabi villagers that NRI’s should do something for their villagers and village as he was doing in a movie.He helped the young boys to improve the village by opening the internet etc. but it would be nice if sidhu doing the same work in his real life as well. he is much richer than any punjabi NRI abroad.before you tell other people you should spend time as well on your people.
also we NRI’s the so called rich punjabi, are not actually that rich.now a days punabi people in villages are much more whealthy than NRI’s. also they have started snatching our lands to buy their young kids scorpio jeeps.Sidhu or H mann should also mention these things in his movies.

I think people still like sidhu, because he was a popular cricket player. His shows are funny, but not good for us. Good for Television business and to give sidhu some false feeling of being popular or still popular.
