Dhillon said his aim was to entertain with the real life raunchy romantic comedy and he’s ecstatic with the response the film received from the packed screening.
With the TFG Premiere done, Dhillon and his team are off setting up the worldwide theatrical release for The Fusion Generation (DESI ANGREJ) this spring. The film will be released in dubbed Punjabi and English versions in the established Bollywood-Punjabi marlets.
“We will be announcing the Release date soon. Stay tuned!,” Dhillon said.
“…brings representation to the east Indian, Hindu, and Sikh cultures in Canada…”
I’m sure The Fusion Generation will find its audience. But for me, I have a wish list for rom-coms in the future. I wish the multi-cultural aspect of the film were so engrained in the plot, that if you removed it, the film would not make sense. I also wish the film took greater risks in telling its story. Maybe take a fresh look at the slutty fiancé, the obsessed ex-boyfriend, the unfaithful father, and the even the overbearing mother. I wish, when writing the script, the words, “how can I do this differently?” and “has this been done before?” was scrawled on the top of each page.
That said, The Fusion Generation boasts a strong cast, particularly Sitara Hewitt as Teejay and her counterpart Munish Sharma as Jag. While they did an excellent job with the story given, both are clearly up for more significant challenges in the future. You can also tell the film was an opportunity for the Sikh and Hindu communities in Vancouver to make a movie, and I’d be interested to see what the next one will be.
- The Fusion Generation (2019) Written and directed by Paul Dhillon. Starring Sitara Hewitt, Munish Sharma, Gulshan Grover, Balinder Johal.
