I think you meant to format your references, but you failed to do so properly. Please read over referencing for beginners.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Still not quite right, but closer - Your citations should all be accompanying a claim that they support. So you have a "reception" section with no content but the citations, which doesn't actually tell the reader anything about the movie's reception. You should write a short summary of the movie's reception, supported by the reviews, and incorporate the citations there. Once that's done, I believe that this article can be approved.

Comment: Uh... still not quite right. Please see H:REFB and convert the references to inline citations. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 06:39, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Release

The film was released in India on 4 October 2024.

Reception

The Punjabi film Shahkot, directed by Rajiv Dhingra and starring Guru Randhawa, Isha Talwar, and Raj Babbar, has garnered significant attention for its blend of romance and socio-political themes. The movie explores the life of Iqbal Singh (played by Randhawa), a young man from Punjab who dreams of settling abroad, only to face unexpected twists in his life. The film delves into identity, migration, and the emotional complexities tied to such aspirations.

Critics have praised Randhawa’s acting debut, noting that his portrayal brings depth to the character. Isha Talwar’s performance is also highlighted for complementing the emotional tone of the narrative. Raj Babbar's seasoned presence adds gravitas to the film. The cinematography is often noted for its ability to capture the beauty and struggles of rural Punjab, while the music has been lauded for its fitting contribution to the film's mood.

In terms of themes, Shahkot effectively weaves personal stories with larger societal issues, making it thought-provoking. Some viewers, however, have criticized it for being heavy-handed with its messages. Still, for many, the emotional and cultural resonance of the film makes it a standout in recent Punjabi cinema.
