“Wild Wild Punjab” is an Indian comedy directed by Simarpreet Singh starring Patralekhaa Paul, Sunny Singh and Varun Sharma.
If you were tickled by the zany antics of “The Hangover” (2009) featuring Bradley Cooper, where friends following a wild night in Vegas have no recollection of their outlandish adventures, “Wild Wild Punjab” is sure to capture your interest. The film, which shares a similar plot to The Hangover, albeit set in India and imbued with the distinct flavor of Bollywood, is a pure comedy designed to entertain – a goal it wholeheartedly achieves thanks to four brilliant performers who each play their parts to comedic perfection. And yes, the film does include fun musical numbers typical of Bollywood.
The storyline of “Wild Wild Punjab” revolves around four friends who embark on an intoxicating journey, which spirals out of control due to their excessive alcohol consumption. One of them ends up married in a strange place. The friends then spend the rest of the film trying to remedy the situation.
About the Film

It is a gift for fans of comedies revolving around the silly exploits of intoxicated friends. It’s a Bollywood-style “road movie,” featuring comedic situations and four inspired actors.
