    Baraat of laughs Chaupal to stream Sarbala Ji this October

    MUMBAI: Who needs a wedding planner when you’ve got a sarbala ready to unleash chaos? Chaupal is all set to turn shaadi season into a laugh riot with Sarbala Ji, a comedy of errors premiering exclusively on 2 October 2025.

    The film stars Punjabi powerhouses Gippy Grewal as the prank-loving Sucha and Ammy Virk as the shy groom-to-be Gajjan, alongside Nimrat Khaira and Sargun Mehta, who bring glamour, wit, and perfect comic timing to the madness.

    In Punjabi tradition, the sarbala, the groom’s page boy adds charm to wedding rituals. But in Sarbala Ji, this simple role snowballs into a whirlwind of confusion. When Sucha convinces his cousin Gajjan to make him sarbala, the mandap becomes ground zero for misplaced rituals, runaway animals, and relatives who don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

    Big-fat-Punjabi-wedding tropes get a comic twist here, from dhol beats to dance-offs, as director and cast bring both heart and hilarity to the screen. With family feuds, pranks, and surprises tumbling one after another, the film promises a non-stop rollercoaster of giggles and gasps.

    Beyond the comedy, Sarbala Ji is a love letter to Punjabi culture. The music, the vibrant sets, and the depiction of wedding traditions make it a festive treat. The presence of Nimrat Khaira and Sargun Mehta ensures the fun is laced with sass, sparkle, and plenty of memorable one-liners.

    Chaupal, home to some of the biggest Punjabi originals, positions Sarbala Ji as the go-to family entertainer of the festive season. Whether you’re a veteran of dozens of big-fat Punjabi weddings or someone who’s never seen one, this film guarantees to bring the baraat straight to your living room minus the traffic jams.

    So, mark the date. On 2 October, when the groom ties the knot, be prepared for a joyride where rituals meet pranks, traditions meet chaos, and laughter steals the show.
