Description:
Harjeeta is a gripping and emotional Punjabi-language sports-drama biopic directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and written by Jagdeep Sidhu. It portrays the real-life journey of Harjeet Singh Tuli—played by Ammy Virk—who hails from a humble, impoverished background and overcomes numerous challenges to captain India’s junior field hockey team to a sensational victory at the 2016 Men’s Junior World Cup. Supporting performances include Sawan Rupowali, Sameep Singh Ranaut, and Pankaj Tripathi. Despite its inspiring message, strong performances, and National Film Award wins for Best Punjabi Film and Best Child Artist, the film underperformed at the box office.
