From Virtual Funerals to Full-On Siyapa:
Released on 1 May 2026, Pitt Siyapa is a Punjabi comedy-drama directed by Rupinder Chahal. The film stars Sonam Bajwa as Nimmi and Paramvir Singh Cheema as Mickey, alongside Karamjit Anmol, Anita Devgan and Sukhwinder Chahal. With a runtime of around 2 hours 11 minutes, the film brings an unusual idea to the screen: a young woman turns virtual funeral arrangements for NRIs into a business, only for her carefully managed setup to descend into hilarious chaos when Mickey enters her life.
What Happens When Grief Becomes a Business?
Some movie ideas make you curious from the very first sentence. Pitt Siyapa is one of them. Imagine living in Punjab, running a business that helps NRIs arrange virtual funerals for loved ones they cannot be present to bid farewell to. That is exactly where Nimmi‘s unusual journey begins. What starts as a clever business idea soon becomes much bigger, bringing together emotions, comedy, unexpected situations and a whole lot of desi jugaad.
Nimmi is realistic, astute, and resolute. She collaborates with her quirky team to arrange heartfelt farewells for families residing overseas. However, when Mickey, an NRI, shows up, the previously seamless arrangement starts to change dramatically. The outcome is a series of misinterpretations, bewilderment, and humorous scenarios that slowly introduce romance into the storyline.
A Story That Finds Comedy in the Unexpected:
The most interesting thing about Pitt Siyapa is its unusual premise. Instead of relying on a familiar comedy setup, the film takes something as emotional as a funeral and places it inside a story filled with humor and unexpected turns.
Simultaneously, the movie isn’t merely focused on humor. The official trailer presents it as a narrative focused on “life, loss, love,” implying that underneath the humor lies an emotional aspect concerning family, relationships, and the various ways individuals cope with challenging times. That balance between emotion and comedy gives Pitt Siyapa its own flavour. It is quirky, colourful and rooted in the kind of everyday Punjabi humour where even the most unexpected situation can somehow turn into siyapa.
Sonam Bajwa and Paramvir Singh Cheema Take Centre Stage:
Sonam Bajwa leads the film as Nimmi, while Paramvir Singh Cheema plays Mickey. Their pairing gives the story its romantic thread, with the arrival of Mickey adding another layer to Nimmi‘s already complicated life. The supporting cast includes Karamjit Anmol, Anita Devgan, Sukhwinder Chahal, Nisha Bano, Gurmeet Sajan and Gurpreet Bhangu, among others.
Rupinder Chahal directs the film and co-writes the screenplay alongside Balwinder Singh Janjua and Anil Rodhan. The movie is created by Movie Tunnel Productions, featuring music by Avvy Sra, V Rakx, and Happy Raikoti, with the original background score composed by Sandeep Saxena.
Why Pitt Siyapa Is Worth Watching:
If you enjoy Punjabi films that mix comedy, romance, emotion and completely unexpected situations, Pitt Siyapa offers a refreshing premise. It is the kind of story that makes you wonder, “Who even thought of this idea?” and that curiosity is part of its charm. With Sonam Bajwa and Paramvir Singh Cheema at the centre, a wonderfully unusual concept and plenty of Punjabi jugaad, Pitt Siyapa turns an unlikely business into a lively cinematic adventure.
Sometimes, the strangest ideas make for the most entertaining stories and Pitt Siyapa certainly knows how to turn its unusual idea into one big, memorable siyapa.
