The Parmish Verma and Wamiqa Gabbi starrer ‘Dil Diyan Gallan’ is one of the highly aniticipated movies of the year 2019. Releasing in the first week, on May 3rd, the movie is a romantic drama. It’s not just bringing Parmish Verma and Wamiqa Gabbi together on the big screen for the first time, but also marks the former's debut as writer and director in Pollywood. However, he isn’t the sole writer-director of the film, the credit also goes to Uday Pratap Singh. Further, the movie is touted to be an emotionally rich project which will play with the audience’s heartstrings.

In the second week of May, ‘Lukan Michi’ will be hitting the theatres. The movie is a romantic comedy that has been set against the backdrop of intense rivalry. To be more clear, on one hand where it shows sweet romance between Preet Harpal and Mandy Takhar, on the other, it features fierce rivalry between Guggu Gill and Yograj Singh. Further, the movie for the first time will be bringing Preet Harpal and Mandy Takhar together on the silver screen. Also, it marks the debut of M Hundal as a movie director in Pollywood; he has been lauded for this direction in music videos so far and the same is being expected out of him now. The movie is releasing on May 10th.

Another movie releasing in the second week of May is ‘15 Lakh Kadon Aauga’. Now this movie is also packed with comedy but is actually a political satire at heart. After last year’s ‘Gulak Bugni Bank Te Batau’, this is another Punjabi movie that’s about to present a witty and hysterical take on a political scene. Further, directed by Manpreet Brar, the movie stars Ravinder Grewal, Pooja Verma, Hobby Dhaliwal, Malkeet Rauni, Gurpreet Bhangu, Seema Kaushal, Jaswant Rathore, Khiyali and Ajay Jethi.

Ammy Virk is also presenting his first outing of the year ‘Muklawa’ in May. Slated to release in the second last week of the month, i.e. on 24th May, the movie is a Simerjit Singh directorial. It is a romantic comedy featuring one of the most loved Pollywood pair - Ammy Virk and Sonam Bajwa. The story is about the struggle of a husband to meet his own wife, as she can’t return from her maternal home before one year owing to the custom called muklawa. Along with Ammy Virk and Sonam Bajwa, the movie also stars Gurpreet Ghuggi, BN Sharma, Karamjit Anmol, Sarbjit Cheema, Drishtii Garewal and Nirmal Rishi.

They say save the best for the last, and that’s what we have done here.
