Eternal Diva: Nirmal Rishi’s unstoppable run in Punjabi Film industry
The Punjabi film industry, also known as Pollywood, has nurtured countless talented artists who have left indelible imprints on Indian cinema.
Among them, one name that consistently shines through is the venerable Nirmal Rishi. An artist of immense caliber, Rishi’s influence on Punjabi cinema extends far beyond her native land, with her performances resonating in the hearts of audiences worldwide.
Now, at the age of 80, Rishi is demonstrating that age is no barrier to passion, nor an obstacle to delivering outstanding performances. Her latest role in the upcoming film ‘Godday Godday Chaa’ is a testament to her enduring talent and inexhaustible energy.
In ‘Godday Godday Chaa,’ Rishi will be seen in the compelling role of Dileep Kaur, a character who dares to challenge the status quo. The film addresses the long-standing stereotype of restricting women’s participation in ‘baraat’ processions – a customary practice in traditional Indian weddings. Akin to the trailblazing spirit of her character, Rishi’s performance promises to be a catalyst of change, a mirror held up to society, urging it to question and transform age-old customs.
Rishi’s portrayal of Dileep Kaur is a standout, even amid the star-studded cast that includes renowned actors such as Sonam Bajwa, Tania, Gitaj Bindrakhia, and Gurjazz.
The trailer of ‘Godday Godday Chaa’ has given us a glimpse of Rishi’s unforgettable performance, and it’s safe to say that it forms the heart of the film, much like the cherry on top of a delicious cake.
Throughout her illustrious career, Nirmal Rishi has excelled in a range of roles, each marked by her distinctive style and deep understanding of the craft.
Her commitment to promoting Punjabi content and culture on a global scale is unparalleled.
As she steps into the shoes of Dileep Kaur, Rishi, at the remarkable age of 80, sends a powerful message – that age is merely a number and talent and passion know no bounds.
Her enduring presence and unwavering dedication serve as an inspiration for young artists, encouraging them to dream big and reach for the stars.
With ‘Godday Godday Chaa,’ Rishi is set to add another memorable character to her repertoire, further solidifying her status as a true icon of Punjabi cinema.
As we await the release of the film, we celebrate the remarkable journey of Nirmal Rishi, a guiding star in the firmament of Punjabi cinema, whose light continues to shine brightly, even at the age of 80.
