Chandigarh 10th November:- Based on a unique theme of how
during the 1960s, people in Punjab's villages regarded having
"electricity" as a measure of someone's social status, and how even
matrimonial alliances were based on this famous Benjamin Franklin's invention,
LAATU is an upcoming Punjabi film helmed by Manav Shah and bankrolled by
