The early 2000s saw the rise of Punjabi cinema, with films like "Sehra" (2005) and "Laung Baloch" (2007) marking their presence. However, it was the 2010s that witnessed a surge in comedy films that made audiences laugh out loud. Movies like "Akali vs. Kular" (2010), "Jatt & Juliet" (2012), and "Jutt.Overboard" (2012) set the tone for a new era of comedy in Punjabi cinema.
