Pind-da-munda Jaggi (Kaushal) and shehar-di-kudi Simi (Dhillon) are ace bhangra dancers. But they represent different colleges, and varying value-systems, so we know that daggers will be drawn sooner vs later.
A flashback to pre-Independence India gives us a rustic, reluctant fauji (Kaushal again, in a double role) who loses his heart to a gaon-ki-gori (Pilgaonkar). Her family doesn’t approve, but he’s already danced his way into her heart, and we know how that will pan out too. It’s that kind of film.
Bhangra Paa Le flashes back and forth in time neatly and frequently, in fact too neatly and frequently. Here’s the present sulking pair burning up the dance floor; there’s the older one wooing his sweetheart with his spry moves. Here’s trouble; there’s trouble. Here’s a breakthrough; there.. And so on.
This is an ever-persisting problem with our movies, that you can tell how things are going to roll from the opening frames. Bhangra Paa Le keeps it all good-natured, and wonderfully authentic (only when you hear real Punjabis speak, or do the bhangra do you realize the extent of fakery in most films). Nice to see fresh faces in the lead: both Kaushal and Dhillon are likeable and move well; in a few places, she comes off more visible than he does.
