Sundri attracts over 5000 in
Toronto
WSN Network
"Sundri: The
Brave Kaur" produced by Vismaad opened a record weekend in Toronto.
This was first time any movie on Sikh subject was presented as
mainstream movie through ticketed shows on big screen. The Sunday
showings ere culmination of a relentless work during past month by
highly motivated team of over 40 Sikh youths lead by Suneet Singh,
CEO Datawind Inc. The whole effort including financial contribution
by Suneet Singh and team of volunteers was purely with seva motive,
and not for profit.
The Sikh
populace in attendance at 19th April Toronto Sikh Parade had a
pleasant surprise when Nagar Kirtan passed by a majestic Bill Board
of Sundri. Never before was any movie on Sikh subject promoted on
such a grand scale. The flamboyant graphics of Sundri overwhelmed
the emotions and left an indelible mark on every mind. The local TV
and Radio programs, always hungry for sound bytes, suddenly had
something which caught their imagination. Harmeet Singh had a run of
special features on "Beyond Belief" which is broadcast across Canada
on Vision Television (Channel 60).
Sursagar TV
called movie Director Sukhwinder Singh thrice on its live talk
shows. Mr. Dilbag Chawla featured Sundri folk song by Joginder Singh
Jogi on his immensely popular show "Rangla Punjab" apart from
interviewing Sukhwinder Singh.
