The music video for “Tohar” has dropped and it’s quite strange. It depicts DJ Dips and Garry Sandhu as low-class construction workers. Though that’s just an assumption viewers have at the start. As the footage rolls we learn they’re also ballers, which doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t seem well executed nor does it compliment the track’s sound. While listening to “Tohar”, we thought it would have a more traditional vibe. However, most of this video is Westernized. There is one scene where background Bhangra dancers are seen, but that’s it.

Breakaway, is a cross-cultural hockey drama set in the Indo-Canadian community in suburban Toronto, Canada, directed by Robert Lieberman who has made his mark in Hollywood, with his acclaimed family drama, Table for Five (1983), starring Jon Voigt. The movie is a full action, colourful, humourous, heart-felt musical. The setting is an obstacle-strewn love story with a dramatic quest for the hero. It’s also a keenly observed cross-cultural drama in the same classification as Bend It Like Beckham and Slumdog Millionaire with a hero caught between a family’s traditional expectations and a dream to make it big in the national sport of an adopted country. Breakaway is reportedly to have cameos from Bollywood Action hero Akshay Kumar, Hip-hop artist Aubrey “Drake” Graham and Grammy Award winner Rapper Chris “Ludacris” Bridges.
