Re: Indian Sikh- Why they are never shown as hero ?
Mainstream means commercial hindi/urdu movies (commonly known as Bollywood) NOT art movie neither regional movies. Recent Punjabi movies made in india are good nonetheless :k:
I tried to remember if there was such a movie. One movie came to my mind ‘Maachis’ where all the main characters were Sikh, but then again the storyline revolved around them and their struggle.
Interestingly, some of the most influential and famous directors / producers are Punjabi. For example Yash Chopra, J P Datta. Most of his movies there is clear influence of Punjabi culture & music in his movies.
