Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh made headlines globally last month as he performed at the Coachella music festival in California. He became the first Punjabi singer to perform at the festival, which was headlined by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, South Korean girl group Blackpink, American singer Frank Ocean, and American pop-punk band Blink-182. Dililjit`s colourful, dance-packed set at Coachella became a viral sensation on the internet.
His Coachella fame was followed by the release of his new Punjabi film, Jodi, co-starring Nimrat Khaira, which released on May 5. The film might have faced some struggles during its domestic release, but has managed to captivate the international audience, as is evident from the film`s collection in the US. As per Deadline, the movie earned USD 734,000 in the first two days after it released on just 125 screens in the US, which is quite noteworthy for a Punjabi film releasing in a largely English speaking market.
