It's an amazing movie, the introduction song was very very very well directed , and composed. I loved the star cast, and their acting. Even the direction , with music and cinematography was fantastic! I found absolute no mistakes in movie. The songs are just mind-blowing, and very very addictive , and it's quite obvious because they are composed by none other than A.R REHMAN. Diljit paaji is truly a gem, he deserves more ! I also love the fact that how much non biased the movie is and actually displays all the type of views over Chamkila's career. It showed the negatives, the positives, the downfall, the rise, as well as the hate. It's a must watch!

Film Companion

Imtiaz’s masterstroke is casting Diljit Dosanjh as Chamkila. The multi-hyphenated artist occupies the same space today that Chamkila did forty years ago.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

Diljit Dosanjh internalises Amar Singh Chamkila’s hard-scrabble life and pain, and distills it into his fine-grained performance, playing an artiste who lived and died by his beliefs.

Rated: 3/5

...brave in its stand on religious despots, lazy when it clubs harassment with fun and equates censorship with all criticism. It is also beautifully acted and uses music in the best way a film can, making it a memorable tribute to a folk hero...

Rated: 3.5/5

Common Sense Media

Fame never comes without a price, and this entertaining although overlong musical biography shows the duality of achieving public acclaim.

Radhika Menon

Decider

The Diljit Dosanjh film is a down-the-middle biopic, the opposite of what a character like Chamkila demands.

The Federal

By narrating the legend of the singer through his own music, one that has permeated a wider consciousness since his murder in 1988, Amar Singh Chamkila is both a staggering achievement and a return to form for Imtiaz Ali.
