Tips Films maiden Punjabi venture "Dil Apna Punjabi" produced by Kumar S. Taurani & Ramesh S. Taurani, written & directed by Manmohan Singh, is set in the lively village of modern day Punjab, where a joint family spanning over four generations lives under one roof… a family which is united by values, tradition and warmth… headed by Sardar Hardam Singh (Dara Singh).
His grandson, Kanwal (Harbhajan Mann) is a man of his heart, who idles most of his time with a group of friends; a village musical troupe. Love strucks Kanwal, when he meets Ladi (Neeru Bajwa) at a common relative, Faujan's (Amar Noorie) place, the only one to know about their budding romance, and who in turn makes their love match seem as an arranged proposal to their respective families. However, when their families meet, they are discouraged due to Kanwal's in-ambitious approach. Love and dignity forces Kanwal to seek his identity, and destiny takes him to UK, where in his life comes Lisa (Mahek Chahal), a UK youth icon. Lisa is drawn towards Kanwal's charm and simplicity, and notices a spark in him… and an exciting journey to stardom begin, where after Lisa nurtures feelings for Kanwal.
Does Kanwal choose Lisa… and lead a life of fame and fortune in UK.? On the other hand, returns back to Ladi… and his roots in Punjab... The answer forms crux of the film!
