Haryanvi cinema is the Haryanvi language film industry of the Indian state of Haryana. It is dedicated to the production of motion pictures in the Haryanvi language, which is widely spoken in the region.

History[edit | edit source]

The history of Haryanvi cinema can be traced back to its first film, Dharti, released in 1968, directed by Kidar Sharma. This marked the beginning of Haryanvi-language films, but due to the dominance of the Mumbai-based Hindi film industry, extensive production of Haryanvi films did not begin until the 1980s.

Chandrawal, released in 1984, was the first commercially successful Haryanvi film.[4][5] The film was produced by Devi Shankar Prabhakar and starred Usha Sharma, Jagat Jakhar, Nasib Singh Kundu, and Daryav Singh Malik. Its financial success played a crucial role in the continued production of Haryanvi films, although none have matched its success since.[6]

Laado, released in 2000, was another significant film in Haryanvi cinema, featuring actor Ashutosh Rana and directed by Ashwini Chaudhary. It won the Indira Gandhi Award for Best Debut Film of a Director at the National Film Awards, making it the first Haryanvi film to win a national award.

In 2014, Pagdi The Honour garnered two National Film Awards at the 62nd National Film Awards.[7] Baljinder Kaur received the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film,[8] and the film was awarded Best Feature Film in Haryanvi.

In 2016, Satrangi won the 63rd National Film Awards for Best Feature Film in Haryanvi. The film, directed by Sundeep Sharma, also earned Yashpal Sharma the Best Actor Award at the Jharkhand International Film Festival (JIFF) in 2018. It was successful at the Haryana International Film Festival, winning six awards in 2017.

2016 Satrangi [16] Sundeep Sharma Won Best Feature Film in Haryanvi at the 63rd National Film Awards; received six awards at the Haryana International Film Festival

Overall, the financial success of films like Chandrawal paved the way for the Haryanvi film industry, leading to the production of numerous films, although only a fraction of them have achieved profitability in the box office, with only about one out of twelve films being successful.[17]
