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.

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

Amar Singh Chamkila is a surprisingly memorable watch that is equal parts sweet and raunchy in the best of ways.

Amar Singh Chamkila inherits the disruptive existentialism that has shaped Ali’s career but mostly beats with the restless heart of Rockstar (2011) and the messy pulse of Tamasha (2015).

The Movie Blog

Ali's movies are usually more whimsical and ethereal, dealing with ideas of metaphysical concepts like identity, purpose— wrapped in mainstream conventional Bollywood packaging. But here, the revered filmmaker tries something new, and it works wonderfully

...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

Amar Singh Chamkila: Musical extravaganza and a perfect biography bought on scree after bollywood struggled for years to bring one such... Imtiaz and Rahman hits the perfect chord with suitable lyrics and Diljit's performance never leaves anyone before the screen to look away, Parineeti could have made some more scenes in the movie, It's a must watch for Musical lovers as Rahman delivers his best again, Songs like Naram khalja and Baaja have complemented the sequence perfectly and Vida karo hits like an attack on the society ... Totally a worth watching for original bollywood lovers
