The film “Eh Janam Tumhare Lekhe”, based on the life of Pingalwara founder late Bhagat Puran Singh, has got an overwhelming response from viewers in the state.

The first week’s box office collections of the film stand at Rs 69 lakh. There is also an increase in the number of volunteers at the Pingalwara here.

The film highlights the way the disabled and destitute are treated at Pingalwaras across the state.
A youth, Bhupinder Singh, who was in the direction team and has played a small role in the film, has approached the All India Pingalwara Charitable Society, seeking to marry a girl who has been brought up at Pingalwara. The society has accepted his proposal.

The film, inspired by the life of humanitarian saint Bhagat Puran Singh was released worldwide on January 30. The film is running successfully in 95 cinema halls in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Pune and Mumbai.
Dr Inderjit Kaur, director, Pingalwara society, said they had made special arrangements for free shows for school children.

“Inspired by the film, many people from various parts of the country and abroad have come forward to serve patients at the Pingalwara centre. A youth has showed inclination to marry a girl from the centre. Pingalwara is not just an institution, it is a movement initiated by Bhagat Puran Singh,” she said.

The movie is directed by Harjit Singh. The role of Bhagat Puran Singh was enacted by actor Pawan Malhotra. The childhood role of the saint was played by a KG student of Pingalwara School, Yuvraj. Punjabi singer and actor Daljit Dosanjh has sung the songs without charging a single penny.
