There's a buzz in local showbiz circles about a Punjabi film titled Channa Sachi Muchi, which is slated to be screened on Eid-ul-Azha. Those who are in the know, or who know the Punjabi film business, believe it has all the elements that can turn it into the next Choorian — no Gujjars, no hardcore violence, no ungainly moves; rather it's a soft romantic film set a little after Partition. It also has believable sound effects (no jarring dhishon dhishon of below the belt punches), and the background score is a blend of subcontinental music and western orchestration. The flick has Choorian's lead pair, Moammar Rana and Saima as well.
