Chamkila
On: Netflix
Dir: Imtiaz Ali
Cast: Diljit Dosanjh, Parineeti Chopra
Rating: 3.5/5

Imtiaz Ali’s Chamkila is a full-on musical—down to translations of songs in Punjabi, flashing across the screen in Hindi, in Roman letters. 

If I recall right, Ali’s Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017) was the first mainstream movie to use Hindi subtitles in Roman script. Also, in this film’s opening credits, characters break the fourth wall—looking straight into the camera—while the song is on. The tone is sufficiently set.
