Lux Style Award’s winner in the category of best music video director, Adnan Malik teamed up with the best emerging talent in the music category, Bambu Sauce to produce the cracking adrenaline –pumped music video “My Punjabi Love for you”. The video premier attended by energetic crowd also marked the launch of AMP, A Boutique Media Production House”. ‘My Punjabi Love for you’ is an evocative and propulsive experimental musicvideo/experimental film hybrid, which tells a story of a young rural wife who attempts to overcome the challenges faced by independent women in a male dominated society.
Inspired by the raw and grungy sound of the track, “My Punjabi Love For You” byBumbu Sauce, the winners of Lux Style Award’s Best Emerging Artist 2012, the video propels you into the world of its female protagonist and her troubled relationship with men and society.
The video features Aamina Sheikh as ParveenBano, Adnan Jaffar as the evil Landlord and Rizwan Ali Jaffri as the hopeless Husband, with a host of martial artists who play amixed bag of villains that stand in her way. To play the role Aamina trained in Muay Thai Kickboxing, Mixed Martial arts, Wirework and Motorcycle Stunts. Her gritty and flawless acting carries the story of the video forward into a seamless sequence of events that alternate between real world events and her characters innermost desires and hopes.
