Before dating apps and Instagram love stories, there was Angrej—a film that brought back the slow-blooming, heartbreakingly sweet love tales of 1940s Punjab. And guess what? This beloved cinematic gem is all set to stream on Chaupal from 9th May! So, if you’ve been missing some good ol’ romance with a pinch of culture and a whole lot of charm, this one’s going to sweep you off your juttis.
Directed by the brilliant Simerjit Singh, Angrej isn’t just a love story—it’s a vibrant postcard from pre-partition Punjab. From mustard fields to mango orchards, from hand-written letters to shy glances across verandahs, the film creates a world you’d want to live in (or at least visit with a tall glass of lassi in hand).
And let’s talk about the man who made us fall in love with heartbreak—Amrinder Gill. Playing the innocent and quietly poetic Angrej, he delivers a performance that is both endearing and unforgettable. Add to that the stellar presence of Aditi Sharma and Sargun Mehta—one plays the dream, the other the destiny. But who ends up being his forever? You’ll have to watch to know.
The film also shines with comic relief and wholesome desi chaos thanks to a solid supporting cast featuring Ammy Virk, Binnu Dhillon, and Sardar Sohi, who bring warmth and wit in equal measure. The costumes, the sets, the music—it all blends into a cinematic thali that feels nostalgic, fulfilling, and totally binge-worthy.
But what makes Angrej truly special is its soul. It doesn’t rely on over-the-top drama or fancy tropes. Instead, it gently tugs at your heart with honesty, humour, and that old-world Punjabi charm. Whether you’ve watched it before or are about to experience it for the first time, this is your sign to revisit the story that made us fall in love with love again.
Tune in on 9th May, only on Chaupal, and get ready to laugh, sigh, and feel all the feels with Angrej. Because some stories deserve more than just one watch—they deserve a whole lot of rewatching.
