Renowned businessmen and philanthropist, Daljit Singh Thind, has taken on a new role – that of an independent film producer.
The CEO of Thind Properties is now the proud owner of his own production house, named Dalmora Films Pvt. Ltd., which is all set to release its debut film in June.
Thind is famously known as a top Canadian businessman and one of the biggest property developers in Vancouver, BC. His company has been building homes in BC for over 15 years. Besides real estate, Thind’s contribution to various sectors and organizations is notable.
Being an ardent supporter of the arts, it comes as no surprise that Thind decided to start his own production house. A film has the power to connect people and communities; it can touch people’s hearts and evoke multiple emotions.
Dalmora Films aims to produce good content films that provide the highest form of entertainment to viewers.
Thind was always interested in film production; has was a silent co-producer in highly successful Punjabi films like, Punjab 1984, Sardarji 1 and 2 and Channa Mereya.
“As a co-producer, one always has some limitations when it comes to one’s say in the creative process of filmmaking, so I thought of entering into the industry with my own production house by the name of Dalmora Films Pvt. Ltd.,” shares the new producer who is excited about his first solo production, Munda Faridkotia.
Munda Faridkotia, co-produced by Daljit Thind and Monty Sikka, is a Punjabi film that showcases the journey of an innocent boy who believes in God earnestly and is determined to stay in his motherland, Faridkot, in Punjab.
The film is directed by Mandeep Singh Chahal and stars Roshan Prince, Sharan Kaur, Navpreet Banga, Mukul Dev, Karamjit Anmol, BN Sharma, Hobby Dhaliwal, Gurmeet Sajan, Lucky Dhaliwal, Rupinder Rupi, Ekta Sharma and Poonam Sood. Munda Faridkotia is scheduled to be released on June 14, 2019.
Talking about why he decided to produce the film, Thind says, “The director, Mandeep Singh Chahal, narrated the script, and I found the story so fresh and close-to-heart that I instantly decided to produce it under my production house and started working on the casting and other needs.”
As producer, Thind has been involved in the making of the film from start to end – in the way of cast selection, script creation, arranging set and location, co-ordinating various aspects related to the film, and financing.
“Though I was in Canada when its shoot was being done, I was constantly in touch with the team who used to send me the pictures and videos of the shoot on the regular basis,” adds the independent filmmaker.
Thind is confident that movie-goers will enjoy the film. “Munda Faridkotia has really good music and the quality of film is on par with Bollywood films. It is an interesting film and an emotional drama and comedy combination, something that the Punjabi audience is always looking for.”
Dalmora Films plans to produce a few more films in 2019; they are also in talks with famous actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh to work on a film next year. We wish the very best to Daljit Thind and Dalmora Films Pvt. Ltd. and look forward to many interesting films from the production house.
