Genre: Action / Sports Drama Director: Dheeraj Rattan Cast: Karan Aujla, Jayy Randhawa
2022 was also the year of the singer-turned-actor. Lyricist and singer Karan Aujla made his acting debut with Shooter. Based on a true story, the film follows a young man from the villages of Punjab who becomes a sharp shooter for the police to avenge his brother.
Why it was a hit: While seasoned actors dominated other genres, Shooter appealed specifically to the youth. Aujla’s swagger and the raw, violent action sequences (very uncharacteristic of previous Pollywood films) attracted a male-dominated audience. The soundtrack was a banger, and it proved that Pollywood could do massy action heroes just like the South Indian film industries.
The Action Comeback After a long hiatus, Mickey Singh (Diljit’s Jatt & Juliet co-star) returned with Shooter. This action-thriller had slick fight choreography and a raw, rustic look. It appealed specifically to the male youth audience and performed exceptionally well in the single-screen cinemas of Punjab, proving that action heroes still have a massive market.
