I hadn't realized that my wish for Jollywood would be granted eni chheti!!! Gurvinder Singh has won the National Award as best director for his movie Anhe Ghorey Da Daan (http://dff.nic.in/59thNFA2011.htm). Earlier this movie had been featured at the Venice Film Festival making it the first Punjabi film to go to an International Film Festival. The movie is based on a novel ,by the same name, written by Professor Gurdial Singh and deals with the subject of industrial revolution and its effects on the people of a village in Punjab. Kudos to the director, writer, all the crew members and artists for this great achievement! Hope this opens up the door for more meaningful Punjabi cinema.
