An inventive tale that subverts patriarchy and is woven into a lighthearted story
EXAMINE SCREENPLAY
A portion of Punjabi rites have long been shown in movies, but Godday Godday Chaa goes one step further by explaining the rationale behind particular customs before demonstrating how to break them down in a way that respects everybody involved. Both writer Jagdeep Sidhu and director Vijay Kumar Arora deserve recognition for this wonderful idea. Sidhu wrote a script that featured a little-known Punjabi custom, and Arora executed it flawlessly.Even though the movie shows a backward custom that is common in older Punjab, the story also discusses the causes of the custom. This is seen in situations such as Rani’s initial attempt to send women in the baraat, which backfired when the ladies were ridiculed by villagers and sent home. This forces the men to defend themselves by claiming that it was their forefathers’ idea to forbid women from serving as baraatis.
The tale is still the main attraction of the movie, no doubt, but it wouldn’t have been a visual narrative if it weren’t bolstered by an amazing ensemble of stars, each of whom contributes their seasoned acting roles. With each movie, Sonam Bajwa continues to outperform herself, and this one is no exception. She prevents Rani from adopting an overtly male demeanor as she guides the group of women toward freedom from shackling customs.yet still manages to resist with a rural innocence and feminine grace. Tania, who plays Rani’s vivacious, sly younger sister, has brought Nimmo to life as the only vibrant woman in both communities with the confidence to voice her opinions without fear of consequences.
Bravo to Gitaj and Gurjazz, who portray the two starring guys, for convincingly playing their roles as domineering husbands while being intimidated by the more seasoned actresses.
The film has a nearly all-industry veteran cast of women, including Gurpreet Bhangu, Nirmal Rishi, Seema Kaushal, and Rupinder Rupi, as submissive country wives who assist the story reach a logical conclusion. Nirmal rarely plays a subservient wife in a movie since her skill set is so diverse.
Godday Godday Chaa will go on in memory as a movie that emphasized Punjab’s impending transformation.
PLOT

When Rani’s father-in-law threatens to kick her out of his house, she is compelled to concede. However, realizing that women are prohibited from attending the baraats of their own sons and brothers,Under the guise of remorseful innocence in front of the men, she starts to hatch a strategy. Her spouse stands out as the lone male who shares her vision and lends his support. In order to carry out her scheme, Rani betrothes her younger sister Nimmo (Tania) to her husband Pinta (Gurjazz). The males from both the villages of Pinta and Nimmo finally concede to the existence of women as baraatis.
