Acclaimed Punjabi Director Secures Second National Award for 'Godday Godday Chaa'

Punjabi cinema is celebrating a shining moment as acclaimed director Vijay Kumar Arora secured his second National Award, this time for the much-loved Punjabi feature film 'Godday Godday Chaa.' Starring the versatile Sonam Bajwa, the film has struck a chord with audiences across India for its rooted storytelling, cultural authenticity, and strong emotional appeal. The movie continues to earn both critical acclaim and audience love.

Mr. Arora is no stranger to national recognition. In 2018, he won the prestigious National Award for Harjeeta, a sports biopic starring Ammy Virk that inspired audiences with its powerful narrative. Before moving in a direction, Mr. Arora had already established himself in the film industry as a celebrated cinematographer, working on remarkable Hindi films such as Vaastav, Astitva, Kurukshetra, Tum Bin, and Dus. His technical mastery behind the camera and his natural instinct for storytelling have shaped him into one of the most respected creative voices in Indian cinema today.

With success already in its stride, VH Entertainment, Zee Studios, and Umesh Bansal are now bringing fans even more reasons to rejoice. The highly anticipated sequel to Godday Godday Chaa is all set to release this Diwali, on October 22, 2025. This Diwali, it's not just fireworks. It's the return of Godday Godday Chaa!
