Teri Meri Ik Jindri (1975)

Teri Meri Ik Jindri ("your life and mine are one") is a Punjabi feature from the mid-1970s built around love, family loyalty and village life in Punjab, with songs woven through the story in the manner of the period. Its chief draw is Dharmendra, who came from a Punjabi village family and, alongside his Hindi films, appeared in a handful of Punjabi productions in the 1970s and 1980s. He is joined by Rajinder Kumar and Meena Rai. For viewers interested in the early history of Punjabi cinema, which grew steadily in this decade, it offers a look at a modest regional production carried by a major star.
