  • Zee Cinema to air World Television Premiere of ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas’ this Valentine’s Day

    Zee Cinema to air World Television Premiere of ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas’ this Valentine’s Day

    It is often said that ‘there is no right time and place for love, it can happen anytime, anywhere’! With this thought at its core, the romantic drama ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas’ celebrates limitless love. Stated to be Sunny Deol’s third directorial venture, the movie narrates a love story that strives to understand the emotion and essence of a first-time romance, with all its innocence, doubts and complexities. Bringing to life this story are the captivating debutants i.e. Deol Scion – Karan Deol along with the charming Sahher Bambba in the lead. 

    This Valentine’s Day, 14 February experience the escapade of love with the World Television Premiere of the biggest love story ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas’ at 8 pm only on Zee Cinema.

    Along with quintessential love story, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas has a holistic music album comprising of fun and heart-warming tracks. The title track ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas’ that is a rendition of Dharmendra ji’s old song successfully struck a chord with the audience with its soul-stirring lyrics. Making the soundtrack more interesting is the debutante Karan Deol’s rap in the song ‘Aadha Bhi Zyaada’.

    Also, giving an ode to the carefree life are the peppy songs ‘Ho Jaa Awara’ & ‘Ishaq Chaliya’ that gets you hooked at the very first go.

    Commenting on the title of his debut film and its importance, Karan Deol said, “I am a die-hard romantic and starting my acting career with a romantic film is ideal. Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas was one of my grandfather’s iconic songs and the film is a tribute to the evergreen song. Hence it is not only special but is also something I am very proud to be associated with. He had told me once, that acting is technically reacting and reciprocating to actions and I should not complicate it. I intend on keeping these pearls of wisdom in mind going forward as well. While the movie is a love story, it also has an action aspect to it, which is unveiled as the film progresses. To sum it up, the film is about external factors which influence the love of the couple and try to stop the romance from blossoming. With the movie all set to premiere on Zee Cinema, I just hope that people will see my work and appreciate the efforts I have put in.”

    Commenting on his grandson’s debut film, the proud grandfather Dharmendra Ji says, “It was an emotional moment for me when I got to know my grandson decided to join the industry and continue our family legacy. I remember telling him to be a good observer as life is beautiful struggle. It is also very important for an actor to be like a sponge, absorbing and learning new things because this is a very unpredictable industry. When the film was about to release, I had the same jitters as if it was my own film releasing but at the same time, I was also excited. And, Karan did make all of us proud. I wish him all the luck and whoever has missed this film in the theatres do catch the World Television Premiere on 14 th February only on Zee Cinema.”

    Actor turned director Sunny Deol commented, “Although this film wasn’t my first stint as a director, it gave me a feeling like no other film has. I was launching my son and directing his debut film, so there was nervousness but more than that my excitement had no bounds. Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas is an innocent love story that captures the raw emotions of lovers and our intention while making the film was to capture this very vulnerable emotion. Last year we released the first poster of the movie on 14 February and this year the movie is premiering on television on Valentine’s Day. So, do catch the movie on 14 th February only on Zee Cinema to witness this captivating love story.”

    Set against picturesque mountains of Himachal Pradesh, the movie revolves around the life of Karan Sehgal (Karan Deol), a mountaineer who runs a trekking camp, Ujhi Dhaar. On the other hand, Saher Sethi (Sahher Bambba), is a hard-to-please video blogger who enrolls with Karan’s company for a trek with the intention of exposing the overpriced trek. Over the course of one week, the two who are poles apart sail through adverse conditions during the trek, share emotional outbursts and form a connection. While both are attracted to each other, they don’t realize it until they bid each other goodbye post the trek. However, their contrasting backgrounds come to the forefront which influences their love story.
