'''''Ik Kudi Punjab Di''''' is a 2010 Punjabi [[film]] directed by [[Manmohan Singh (film director)|Manmohan Singh]] with story and screenplay by Singh and dialogues by [[Rana Ranbir]]. The film is produced by Singh and [[Ratan Bhatia]] and stars [[Amrinder Gill]], [[Jaspinder Cheema]], [[Aman Dhaliwal]], [[Gugu Gill]], [[Gurpreet Ghuggi]], [[Rana Ranbir]], and [[Kimi Verma]].

''Ik Kudi Punjab Di'' released on 17 September 2010 globally. It was keenly awaited due to reasons like its theme, lead actor [[Amrinder Gill]] and the director. The director/writer/producer has attempted a very new and unique concept of drama/theatre in ''Ik Kudi Punjab Di'' which is not done much in Punjabi cinema.

==Plot==
''Ik Kudi Punjab Di'' tells a richly textured tale from a keenly female perspective set against the backdrop of male-dominated Punjabi society. It does so with a Shakespearean credo of “all the world’s a stage” and a lively cast.

SP Singh ([[Amrinder Gill]]) is a boy from a wealthy family who meets Navdeep ([[Jaspinder Cheema]]), the girl of his dreams, at his college drama class. They quickly bond, much to the chagrin of bad-boy student Vicky (Aman Dhaliwal) who prizes Navdeep for himself.

The male-chauvinist Vicky has no chance with the progressive-minded Navdeep. Even Singh, the man who she admires enough to call a friend, is in for a shock. Navdeep doesn’t want to get married; she’s intent on being the guardian of her loving parents because the family lacks a male heir.

Singh tests his own view of women by agreeing to all of Navdeep’s demands, including becoming a [[Gharjamai|ghar jamai]]. This is seen as both revolutionary (by her classmates) and an affront to Punjabi society and tradition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.straight.com/article-346790/vancouver/ik-kudi-punjab-di-gives-gender-equality-entertaining-treatment|title=Manmohan Singh's Ik Kudi Punjab Di: gender equality gets an entertaining treatment|date=20 September 2010|website=Georgia Straight Vancouver's News & Entertainment Weekly}}</ref>
