![]() It’s not easy to win purist readers with cinematic adaptation of a book, but, interestingly, Gurvinder isn’t even aiming at that. His first was a documentary, Pala, which was based on folk artistes in Punjab, and then came along Anhe Ghore Da Daan and Chauthi Koot. I chose Punjabi to be the language of my work, I had never explored the land in person.” If I knew very little about Punjab, I knew nothing about UP as well. Post FTII, I realised that ethnicity and anthropology were the setting for cinema. The screening of the films have been organised by Punjab Lalit Kala Akademi. While he is not divulging the name as yet, Gurvinder is happy bringing two of his films to Chandigarh, which he now calls home. Interestingly, this singer is not one of the many that have turned actors in Pollywood, but a female! Gurvinder has now turned a leaf and is going to make a film on the story that he has written – a musical that trails the life of a Punjabi singer. While Anhe Ghore Da Daan is based on Gurdial Singh’s book by the same name, Chauthi Koot has been adapted from Waryam Singh Sandhu’s short stories. He gained experience, and then made films, including Anhe Ghore Da Daan (2011) and Chauthi Koot (2014), among others. From a feeling of rootlessness to getting back to his roots, Gurvinder Singh was happy to be in Punjab after his days at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in Pune. ![]()
