A sardar film is a sub-genre of (chiefly) Bollywood films featuring Sardars (turbaned Sikh men) as the main/titular characters. They are often Bollywood or Punjabi-language films, and are often comedies, but other genres commonly also include drama, military and historical films.
Overview
[edit]Although they must include a turbaned Sikh as one of the main characters as a criteria, many sardar films are distinct from religious films about the Sikhs (for example, Chaar Sahibzaade). Plots under this sub-genre of film typically revolve around common stereotypes surrounding the Punjabi culture, such as the protagonist comedically attempting to escape from an arranged marriage. Common themes within these films also tend to revolve around Punjabi stereotypes, such as heavy alcohol consumption and Bhangra music, which are also often portrayed in a comical manner.
