Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra’s Amar Singh Chamkila has finally been released amid much anticipation. The film is based on the life of the iconic Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila whose songs revolved around drug abuse, alcoholism, illicit affairs and such. The makers have unveiled a new clip which shows Diljit as Chamkila, defending the “vulgar" songs.
Diljit Dosanjh as Chamkila says, “I have only seen all this and heard all of these things growing up. Not everyone can afford to think right and wrong. Some people just have to survive. I am a very ordinary man. I have to make the songs that people will like otherwise my career will be over." Speaking of his status as the highest-selling singer of Punjab, Diljit Dosanjh as Chamkila says, “Most people in this world are ordinary like me and ordinary people have seen the same things that I have and that’s why they like my songs."

News18 gave the film 3.5/5 stars. Our review of the film read, “Diljit delivers a stupendous act as the protagonist. The character of Amar Singh Chamkila is tailor-made for him and he pours his heart out into it. His hard work is palpable and yet his performance is effortless. Watching him become Chamkila and sing his songs will fill your heart up with unadulterated joy. Even in some heavy-weight scenes, he brings a rare restraint to the fore and renders a whole new layer of poise. It, inarguably, is his career-best performance. And somewhere in the middle, you will see him becoming one with Chamkila and very soon, you won’t be able to separate these forces that forever changed the music industry of Punjab."
The film Amar Singh Chamkila is directed by Imtiaz Ali and is available to be streamed on Netflix.
