Waris Shah Ishq Daa Waaris is a 2006 Punjabi movie starring Gurdas Maan, Juhi Chawla and Divya Dutta in lead roles. It is about the life of legendary Punjabi poet Waris Shah. This movie won National Award.
The movie starts off with the Mughal ruler banning music as he believes that music separates the person away from God. Then comes Waris Shah (Gurdas Maan) looking for Guruji who teaches music at a secret location. When Guruji and Waris Shah meet, Guruji tells him that he is talented but he needs to experience pain in order to write the Heer, so Waris goes to the other village where music is not banned to gain further knowledge about music. When the Mughal ruler finds out that Guruji is teaching music, he is killed. In the new village, Waris Shah meets Bhaagpari (Juhi Chawla) who slowly falls in love with Waris. Waris also falls in love with her. On the other hand, we have Saabo (Divya Dutta) who is also attracted to Waris Shah and she is willing to do anything to make Waris hers. Saabo tries everything that she can think of to separate Waris and Bhaagpari. Later on, Bhaagpari is forced to marry Saabo's brother (Sushant Singh). Waris Shah realizes that in order to complete his Heer he must let Bhaagpari go so that he can feel the pain that Guruji said he needed in his writing.
