Scene From Netflix Biopic Amar Singh Chamkila
Once, during a concert as shown in Netflix release, Jinda (Shinda) didn't show up on time, causing unrest among the audience. To pacify the crowd, the producer asked Chamkila to take the stage and perform. Despite initial hostility, Chamkila's talent won over the crowd, which began cheering for him. When Jinda finally arrived, the audience had already embraced Chamkila's performance and showed little interest in Jinda's arrival. Until Chamkila moved to Canada, there was a strong bond between him and Tikki, with no apparent conflicts.
