Comic punches connect well, and humor digs deep
‘Oye Makhna’ Punjabi Movie Review: Critics Rating: 3.5/ 5
From the movie’s poster and mention on its official website, ‘Oye Makhna’, it was apparent that this Punjabi film is a laughter riot, and it is about the jodi of Chacha Bhatija who will tickle your funny bone. And there is no doubt that the plot of Oye Makhna is colorful, catchy, and incredibly captivating, just as its poster suggests. In terms of comedy and emotions, this film is a cut above many other Punjabi films that have appeared recently.
There is a story that follows Shinda (uncle played by Guggu Gill) and his nephew Makhan (played by Ammy Virk) who are like best friends, and their relationship has a variety of colors and emotions, it progresses through multiple stages and captures the audience’s attention from the start. The story unfolds as Makhan falls in love with Rimple (played by Tania) at first sight, and Shinda helps his nephew in getting married to the love of his life. When Shinda and Makhan discover that the girl in the story is actually the daughter of their unfriendly and hostile neighbor (Which she is not), the story takes a humorous turn. In light of this, Shinda tries his best to improve his relationship with his neighbor and finally successfully arranging Makhan’s marriage with the wrong girl named Guddi, mistaking her for Rimple.
As a result, a web of lies, confusions, and chaos further unfolds, which gets funnier by the minute. As a consequence of the situation Makhan now finds himself torn between marrying the girl he loves or sacrificing it to keep his family’s honor.
Hindi and Punjabi films have presented similar stories in the past, but the way this story is presented remains distinct and compelling. Due to how the story is portrayed, audiences perceive it differently. If you look at the trend in Hindi and Punjabi romcoms, it is not uncommon for a boy to fall in love with a girl at first sight and his friend going to any lengths to help him win over the girl.

A great deal of the film’s strength comes from these two characters, and their camaraderie is an excellent example of what lends the story to work.

It was a delight to see actress Tania in the role of Rimple, a strong, independent, and career-oriented young woman who makes her own way in life.
