And on the other hand, some prove their mettle in the field, and thus, the industry swears by them. Punjabi artist Diljit Dosanjh is one from the latter category. The artist today has ringed in his 36th birthday, and celebrating the same we have compiled for you a list of Diljit Dosanjh’s MUST WATCH Punjabi movies.

Released in 2019, ‘Shadaa’ was one of last year's highest Punjabi grossers. The movie was a romantic comedy featuring the much loved jodi - Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa. Both the actors are lauded for their effortless chemistry and that was indeed one of the USPs of ‘Shadaa’. Another and one of the most important USPs of the movie was Diljit and his quirkiness. He was in and as ‘Shadaa’, a bachelor crossing the eligible age of marriage. In the movie he tries everything possible to get married, only to later realise that bachelorhood is actually a boon. And the way he explains the same to rest of his family and the entire village is a treat to watch.

Though ‘Shadaa’ has been a big success at the box office and entertained the audience a lot, whenever one talks about Diljit and Neeru, the first movie that comes to mind is ‘Jatt & Juliet’. As a matter of fact, the ‘Jatt & Juliet’ franchise, i.e. ‘Jatt & Juliet’ and ‘Jatt & Juliet 2’. Both the movies are classic Punjabi rom-coms packed with Neeru’s charms and Diljit’s comic timing. The first installment came out in 2012 and it got such a massive response that the makers didn’t wait long to release the second part. Thus, ‘Jatt & Juliet 2’ made it to the theatres in 2013. It’s been so many years to their release, but till date they are counted among the must watch movies of Diljit Dosanjh.

Punjabi romantic comedies is a genre in which it’s hard to beat Diljit Dosanjh, but that’s not the only genre that the actor has explored. Diljit has done some serious content movies also and ‘Punjab 1984’ is one of them. Based on the 1984–86 Punjab insurgency's impact on social life, it was a period drama that showed the tale of a mother and her missing son. The film featured the impact of the insurgency on local life and people; it showed how an innocent man was forced to take up arms in his hands owing to the circumstances.

Diljit who is known to make his audience roll on the floor laughing, left tears in their eyes with his performance in ‘Punjab 1984’.

Another genre that Diljit explored in Punjabi cinema is thriller comedy. With his 2107 released ‘Ambarsariya’ the ‘Pagg Wala Munda’ proved that he can do spy drama with ease. In the movie, Diljit essayed the role of an undercover agent who is on a mission to save Punjab’s Prime Minister from a drug mafia. The whole mystery of the plot only gets darker and deeper as the movie unfolds.

In 2018 a lot of period dramas made it to the theatres and one of them was Diljit Dosanjh’s ‘Sajjan Singh Rangroot’. With this movie, Diljit brought forward the true story of the Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army, who were sent to the Western Front during World War I. Their dilemma of doing their duty, but at the same time fighting for the one who have enslaved them was very beautifully portrayed in the movie. No wonder the movie garnered love from both audience and critics.
