Film educator and Founder of Showbizz Originals, Manmeet Singh, emphasized the need for greater inclusion and accessibility for persons with disabilities in the Indian film and media industry during Film Expo India 2026, held at Bharat Mandapam.

Speaking on the panel discussion titled “The Future and Scope of Work for Persons with Disabilities in the Film and Media Industry,” Manmeet Singh highlighted the importance of creating equal opportunities for persons with disabilities across both on-screen and behind-the-scenes roles.

He stressed that genuine inclusion requires more than representation. The industry must work towards providing accessible film education, adaptive post-production tools, disability-friendly production environments, and inclusive workplaces that allow talented individuals to participate and grow across every department of filmmaking.

“Cinema is a universal language, and talent knows no physical barriers. If we want our storytelling to be genuinely rich and empathetic, the industry must open its doors—both behind and in front of the camera—to persons with disabilities,” said Manmeet Singh.

Film Expo India 2026, an initiative organized by renowned actor Vindu Dara Singh, brought together film industry professionals, technology innovators, educators, policymakers, and creative professionals to discuss the evolving future of cinema and media.

The discussion concluded with a collective call for the industry to adopt accessible workspaces, progressive hiring policies, structured mentorship programmes, and stronger institutional support for persons with disabilities.

Manmeet Singh’s participation further highlighted the growing need for the entertainment industry to move towards a more inclusive ecosystem—one where opportunities are driven by talent, creativity, and potential rather than physical limitations.

Punjabi cinema is once again witnessing the power of youth-driven storytelling as ‘Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree – The Film’ continues to make its presence felt following its worldwide theatrical release on 7 August 2026.

Directed by Rabby Tiwana, the film features a popular ensemble cast including Pukhraj Bhalla, Amrit Amby, Pawan Johal, Karan Sandhawalia, Sukhdeep Sapra, Prateek Singh Rai, Hashneen Chauhan, Jagmeet Kaur and others.

The film is produced by Omjee’s Cine World Pvt. Ltd., Rabby Tiwana and Mohit Chhabra, bringing together an experienced production team behind one of Punjabi cinema’s most anticipated youth franchises.

From a Successful Web Series to the Big Screen

Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree has a unique advantage — an already established and extremely loyal fan base.

The original Punjabi web series became a major digital success, building a massive audience among Punjabi youth and creating a strong emotional connection with viewers. The feature film now takes that much-loved universe from YouTube to cinemas, allowing fans to experience the characters and their journey on the big screen.

The transition from a successful digital franchise to a theatrical feature is itself a significant achievement for Punjabi entertainment.

A Strong Opening Weekend

The film has shown encouraging growth since its release, with audience response strengthening through the opening weekend.

Early box-office estimates indicate approximately ₹70 lakh on Day 1, ₹1.01 crore on Day 2 and ₹1.53 crore on Day 3, taking the reported India net collection to around ₹3.24 crore in the first three days.

The day-on-day growth is particularly encouraging, suggesting that positive audience word-of-mouth helped the film gain momentum over the weekend.

With the theatrical run still underway, the coming days will be crucial in determining the film’s final box-office outcome.

The Power of Friendship, Nostalgia and Youth

At the heart of Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree is something that has always made the franchise special — friendship.

The story connects with audiences through college memories, friendships, relationships, ambitions, misunderstandings and the emotional journey of growing up.

For audiences who followed the original series, the film brings back familiar characters and memories. For new viewers, it offers a relatable story about friendship and youth.

This combination of comedy, emotion, friendship and nostalgia has helped the film appeal to a broad Punjabi audience.

Pukhraj Bhalla and the Ensemble Cast

Pukhraj Bhalla remains one of the most recognizable faces of the franchise, while the ensemble cast brings together actors who have become closely associated with the Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree universe.

The chemistry between the characters is one of the film’s biggest strengths, with the story relying heavily on the relationships and bonds between the friends.

Rabby Tiwana’s Successful Digital-to-Theatrical Journey

For writer-director Rabby Tiwana, the film represents a major milestone.

Having created the original Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree universe, Tiwana has now successfully taken his characters and storytelling from the digital space into mainstream theatrical cinema.

His dual role as director and producer also makes the project particularly significant, with Omjee’s Cine World Pvt. Ltd., Rabby Tiwana and Mohit Chhabra joining hands to bring the film to audiences worldwide.

A Significant Achievement for Punjabi Cinema

The success of Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree is bigger than just its opening numbers.

The film demonstrates the potential of strong digital intellectual properties to transition into theatrical cinema. In an entertainment landscape where audiences are increasingly discovering content through YouTube, Instagram and OTT platforms, building a loyal digital community can create a powerful foundation for a theatrical release.

Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree is a prime example of this evolving model.

The Audience Connection is the Real Success

While box-office figures will ultimately determine the commercial verdict, the strongest achievement of Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree is the connection it has maintained with its audience.

The franchise has managed to turn a story about college friends into an emotional experience for an entire generation of Punjabi viewers.

From watching the original characters online to buying cinema tickets to see them on the big screen, the journey reflects the loyalty of the franchise’s fan base.

A Promising Chapter for YJKD

With its encouraging opening weekend and strong audience familiarity, Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree – The Film has opened a promising new chapter for the franchise.

Produced by Omjee’s Cine World Pvt. Ltd., Rabby Tiwana and Mohit Chhabra, and directed by Rabby Tiwana, the film represents the successful convergence of digital popularity, Punjabi youth culture and theatrical cinema.

From YouTube to cinema halls, the Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree journey is a remarkable example of how a homegrown Punjabi story can build a loyal audience and evolve into a theatrical franchise.

Produced by Omjee’s Cine World Pvt. Ltd., Rabby Tiwana & Mohit Chhabra and directed by Rabby Tiwana, the film brings together a talented ensemble featuring Pukhraj Bhalla, Amrit Amby, Pawan Johal, Hashneen Chauhan, Karan Sandhawalia, Prateekk Rai, Sukhdeep Sapra, Karanvir Deol, Parteek Vadhera, Arvinder Bhatti, Lucky Dhaliwal, Amanjot Amu, Jagmeet Kaur, Tannu Kaur and Ria Budhiraja.

For Punjabi cinema, the film stands as a celebration of friendship, youth and the power of a story that audiences simply refuse to forget.

The makers of Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree – The Film unveiled its much-awaited trailer at a grand event hosted at Chandigarh University, Punjab. Surrounded by thousands of enthusiastic students, members of the media, and the film’s cast and crew, the launch turned into a celebration of youth, nostalgia, and friendship, perfectly capturing the essence of the film.
