Phillauri is a 2017 Indian Hindi fantasy,romantic comedy film, directed by Anshai Lal and produced by Fox Star Studios Anushka Sharma and Karnesh Sharma under the banner of Fox Star Studios and Clean Slate Films. Director Navdeep Singh and writer Sudip Sharma are associated with the film as Creative Producers. The film stars Anushka Sharma in the double role of a ghost and a human; Diljit Dosanjh portrays the lover of her human character while Suraj Sharma plays the husband of her ghostly character. Mehreen Pirzada is cast as the fiancé of Suraj Sharma's character. The film's first official poster was released on February 3, 2017. The film released on March 24, 2017 to mixed reviews.
A young man Kanan (Suraj Sharma) returns to India from Canada to marry his long-term girlfriend Anu (Mehreen Pirzada), but comes to know that as he is a manglik (born under an unlucky star) he has to get married to a tree before getting married to her. He very reluctantly marries the tree, which is duly chopped down after the completion of the ceremony. As a result, from that day onwards he is haunted by the spirit of a woman named Shashi (Anushka Sharma), who lived in that particular tree and hence claims to now be 'married' to him.
The story of Phillauri and Shashi is slowly revealed via the latter's flashbacks. Back in an unspecified time period, Shashi is a bright young woman who never fails to read the works of a poet named Phillauri that is regularly published in a local daily. Everyone in the village of Phillaur knows that the poems are written by the singer Roop Lal 'Phillauri' (Diljit Dosanjh), who is the heart-throb of the village. However Roop Lal notices that Shashi, unlike all the other village girls, never comes to hear him sing. When he confronts her one day and tells her that he is the Phillauri who writes the poetry by narrating one of his famous poems to her, he is shocked when Shashi slaps and insults him. She asks him to use his talent – of being able to connect with the common man through his songs – for something important (especially when the struggle for independence is on) and not for frivolous matters. From that day onwards Roop Lal is a changed man, dedicating his life to knowing and understanding the poetry of Phillauri (which it is clear now that he is not the author of), and spreading its message via his beautiful singing to others.
