Synopsis
1979 Southall, London, UK.

Gurtej Singh Kahlon, 34 years of age has just completed his shift at the Woolfe Rubber Factory. He will slowly walk back home. He will ignore the gora kid walking with his mother, pointing at him the funny brown man in the turban. He will cross the street when the group of white disgruntled, unemployed factory workers will try and provoke him into a confrontation. He will enter his warm cozy home and sing happy birthday to his six year old son Gattu. He will shield his family when the shards of shattering glass will threaten to injure them. He will chase the gora hoodlums who threw the rock shattering the glass window. He will break open his gora skull with his bare hands. He will protect his family. From now on, he will protect his family.

1994 Southall, London, UK.

Parghat Singh Kahlon (Gattu,) age 17 years old has just given his father Gurtej Singh Kahlon an official letter. He will watch his father read every word. He will watch his fathers eyes brimming with rage. He will hear his father reminding him of the struggle against the goras. He will see his father tear his dreams into pieces as the official letter is thrown on his face.

2010 Southall, London, UK.

Parghat Singh Kahlon (Gattu,) age 34 years has just woken up like he has every morning for the last 17 years. He will walk across Southall. He will open the corner store across the tube station. He will tend to his customers. He will hear the neighbourhood boys playing cricket in the back alley. He will remember a dream that could have become a reality. He will tend to his customers. He will watch his father ruling a house, a family, a community like he has for the last 25 years. He will silently tolerate the snide remarks and insults passed by a younger generation. He will pour his heart out to his neighbours adopted brother. He will understand the bitterness of his siblings. He will identify with their shattered dreams. He will participate to begin a change. He will finally summon the courage to challenge his father and start a movement that will shake the very foundations of Patiala House.

  • Rishi Kapoor is one of those actors that will always live in your heart because of his mind blow, energetic and loving performances.

    Thankyou Rishi jee for these moments :)

  • @RawalpindiBrittania Kapoors are Khatris, it means that they're Punjabi Hindus who, by the way, fought against Muslim (like Pashtun) armies ... the only thing that make people believe that they're Pashtun is because they were based in Peshawar, for commercial reasons ... but wasn't Prithviraj Kapoor himself born in Faisalabad, in Punjab ? Khatris have always been connected to Punjab (Kapoor, Oberois, Khanna, ...)

  • finest actor.. his films like bobby , karz and more are ever green movies , you can watch them anytime but never get the feeling they are old. he was a heart throb in his time mid 70s to 80s & he married the jatt sikh movie star neetu singh. ranbir kapoor is his son. rishi kapoor has made one other movie with Akshay Kumar 'namastey london' which was a super hit in the uk , canada australia and obviously india. both are Hindu and show their movies in which all sikh & muslim punjabis connect with

  • @shootforthemoon89. shows how much u know. the kapoors were hindu afghans. this is long before the british invaded hindustan. after this, migration started and the kapoor family moved to peshwar and punjab, which were the main cities. and again due to migration most live in mumbai.

    basically they have afghan roots

  • @RawalpindiBrittania

    your reasoning is flawed. If there ancestry is Afghan, than do ALL Punjabi's have Afghan ancestry/blood. PLus your walking a fine line, Punjabis and Pathans are neighbors, since Peshawar basically boarder Punjab by a few miles.

  • sikh turban insult in punjab watch?v=4eskct5eCh4

  • @RawalpindiBrittania ... Prithviraj Kapoor was born in FAISALABAD, and THEN, his FATHER MOVED for WORK for God's sake. What's complicate in this simple sentence ? If you're Punjabi and you move to Australia you're not an (ethnic) Australia !!! And Kapoors ARE connected to PUNJAB. KAPOOR, the name, ITSELF is a proof that they're Punjabi !!! DAMN DUDE, saying that a Kapoor is a Pashtun is really idiot. a KAPOOR can ONLY be a PUNJABI ... *BY DEFINITION*

  • @roxor1080. Peshawar was the primary place that the kapoors lived, they went to punjab after. If u have been searching on wikepedia for information then u r a dumb fucker. do u know that wikepedia can be edited by anyone and is not written by proffessionals?

  • @RawalpindiBrittania Yeah, and so ? Kapoors are Punjabi who went to Peshawar for business but KAPOOR is a KHATRI tribe name, it's well documented on the internet dude. It's like saying that a Ghilzai (Pashtun clan) is a Tamil or a Chaudhry has Chinese ancestry.

  • @roxor1080. i'll give u a similar example. The Khans orginated from afghnistan. although now they're fucking everywhere. all over afganistan, india, pakistan, Bangladesh and a minority in Iran.

    Khans can be punjabi, bengali, pashtun, e.t.c BUT they're ancestors were afghan, just like the Kapoors. do u understand? Migration scattered these families all over the place.

    The primary country of origin is afghanistan, and ethnicity is pashtun, others came later.

  • @roxor1080. I study family trees. Kapoor's roots are from afganistan, they migrated to hindustan during pre-partition india. Then after that they migrated to peshawar, llypur,, mumbia, delhi, H.pradesh. Basically they have pashtun ancestry.
