The Punjabi-language feature Sohreyan Da Pind Aa Gaya (2022), starring Gurnam Bhullar and Sargun Mehta, will have its world digital premiere on Zee5 on 23 September.
Produced by Ankit Vijan, Navdeep Narula and Gurjit Singh, the comedy drama is directed by Ksshitij Chaudhary. The film released in theatres on 8 July.
Sohreyan Da Pind Aa Gaya, written by Amberdeep Singh, takes its title from a popular Punjabi folk song and revolves around the love between Bhullar and Mehta, who hope to get married to each other. However, an unexpected twist in the tale leads to Mehta getting married to someone else.
This leads to problems between the two lovers who then engage in a game of one-upmanship. Bhullar decides to spoil Mehta's nuptials and is determined to tie the knot with a girl from her village so that she cannot ignore him. The battle between the two enraged ex-lovers that starts from hereon leads to several hysterical situations and creates the drama in the film.

Manish Kalra, Zee5's chief business officer, stated that Punjab is an important market for the platform. He said, "We have had the good fortune of collaborating with the foremost storytellers in Pollywood [Punjabi cinema] to showcase blockbuster Punjabi films and Sohreyan Da Pind Aa Gaya is another strategic addition to our library. Sargun Mehta and Gurnam Bhullar’s last film Surkhi Bindi (2019) saw great traction on our platform and with the unusual and wacky plot of Sohreyan Da Pind Aa Gaya, we are confident that this movie too will strike a chord with the viewers and tickle their funny bones."
Director Chaudhary shared, “This film was made with a lot of heart, humour, good intentions, and a purpose to entertain. So, we hope that our efforts reach more and more people via its digital premiere and proves to be a superhit."
Mehta, who stars in the Punjabi-language film Moh (2022) lined up for a theatrical release this month, said, “I had a lot of fun shooting for this film as it is not your typical rom-com. This film starts with romance but very soon leads to revenge which is the most fun part about this film. Viewers will get to see a different kind of chemistry between me and Gurnaam in this one. We definitely see a greater traction towards the film on Zee5 as this is the perfect family entertainer one would want to invest in."
Bhullar, recently seen in the film Jind Mahi (2022) with Sonam Bajwa, hoped the film's digital premiere would be successful. He added, "It was a fun ride shooting for this film as the story is so unique and exciting. Love stories usually end with a happy ending but in this one, it starts with romance and ends with an attempt to seek revenge from an ex-lover. Now that the film belongs to the fans, I am excited for them to sample the film on Zee5 and shower their love."
Sohreyan Da Pind Aa Gaya is presented by Zee Studios, in association with Shri Narotam Ji Films Production, Big Bash Producers LLP, and Bollywood Heights.
