Yes I Am Student, the film written by Gill Raunta and directed by Tarnvir Singh Jagpal stars Sidhu Moosewala, Mandy Takhar, Malkeet Rauni and Jaggi Singh as the lead characters.
A report on tribuneindia.com had Mandy Takhar talking about the film and saying why it is so unique. We take reference from that story for our write-up here.
Talking to Tribune about her experience of the film, Mandy Takhar says she signed the film because, “It touches upon a subject that is an integral part of Punjabi community but wasn’t brought to light through cinema, so I was happy about the initiative.” Mandy says the story is based on true events.
If it wasn’t for the delays due to pandemic, ‘Yes I Am Student’ would have marked Sidhu Moosewala’s debut in the film industry since this is the first movie he signed. Shot in 2019, its release date got postponed twice and ‘Moosajatt’ was out a month before.
Mandy plays Sidhu’s girlfriend Reet, a character she feels is very real and relatable. “Reet is someone who will fight over something as small why was her call not answered yet she’ll be the most loving and supportive person when it comes to things that really matter. She has a slight shade of being a typical ‘almost teen like’ girlfriend who at times wouldn’t know the struggles her partner is facing. However, she eventually becomes supportive and helps him achieve his dreams.”
Interesting, right?
