Punjabi House

Directed by Raffi, Mecartin

1998146 min7.1 / 10

A darkly comedic romp built on deception and desperation, where a suicidal man's fake disability becomes the engine for both humor and unexpected human connection.

A fisherman saves a suicidal Unni, only to sell him to a Punjabi moneylender in Kerala. Unni is then forced to pose as a man with hearing and speech impairment, resulting in hilarious consequences.
