The Haryanvi Cinema: An Overview
Abstract
Production of films in Haryanvi dialect began as soon as Haryana was carved out of the Punjab as a separate state in 1966, and the debut Haryanvi film Dharti was released in 1968. It was followed by a few more Haryanvi films in the coming years.Dharti (1968) touched upon the indigenous theme of farmers’ occupation and their attachment to the land. It was followed by Harphool Singh Jat Julani (1970), which was a realistic movie based on the legendry life of a local Robinhood who looted the rich and extended benevolence to the poor. Beera Shera was released in1973 and Bahurani in 1982. These movies however failed to make their presence felt in any significant way in the cine world
