Wild Wild Story
In “Wild Wild Punjab,” Khanne is devastated after his girlfriend Vaishali cheats on him. His loyal buddies Arore, Jainu, and Honey Paaji rally around him, whisking Khanne away on a crazy road trip across Punjab.
Their destination is is Vaishali’s wedding, where Khanne plans a grand (and slightly immature) gesture to get closure. Their hilarious journey throws unexpected detours, and encounters with a fierce female biker, bumbling police officers, and even drug dealers, making this a wild ride for the sake of friendship and moving on.
"Wild Wild Punjab" is a movie that watching it means wasting your time. It's such a terrible movie; how could Netflix even buy it?

Wild Wild Movie Review
Wild Wild Punjab is a comedic road trip movie with good intentions but fumbled execution. While the premise of heartbreak leading to a wacky adventure with friends holds promise, the humor lands flat and the plot gets lost in the chaos. The overacting and loud energy become tiresome, and the movie struggles to balance lightheartedness with more serious themes.
