I Harjit Ricky am a Director of Punjabi Film in India and have directed several Punjabi Films till date. I completed my schooling from MDSD Senior Secondary School at Kapurthala (Punjab 1997).
I was born in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA. Since, I was a young child, I was fascinated by the word of entertainment and I was mesmerized by the people who were behind the scenes and were instrumental in producing movies and videos for Cinema and television. Since, very early age I started dabbling in production of video songs with my friends and tried to gather knowledge in the field of my interest.This increased my interest in my chosen field and I went to Mumbai to see the world of Cinema and sneaked into shootings of some movies. During this period, I bought a Still Photo Camera and a Video Camera from the money lent to me by my father (S. Shangar Singh).
Coming back from Mumbai, I started experimenting with shooting videos of songs by lesser known artistes. My work soon started getting noticed and appreciated by the established production houses and the artistes of Punjabi Cinema and TV. This led to my getting good offers from the leaders of Punjabi entertainment industry and soon became the most sought after director in the field.
Next in my career journey, I spent approx. two years at Delhi, in the year 2001 and learnt a lot through my efforts. My stay in Delhi helped me evolve as a professional and gave me enough confidence to dive deep into the Industry and make for myself a satisfying career in my chosen field.
After having garnered enough experience in the field, I established my own film direction company styled as Cine Vision Films in 2006. Under the aegis of my own company, I have completed a number of film projects on Sikh History and Commercials (Feature Films, Documentary Films, Short Films, Ad Films and Commercials) and more than 300 music videos under my expertise and leadership.
To name a few projects undertaken by me, I have proudly mentioned the below:
- 7 episodes of Sultan-UL-Quam in year 2004
- Karza and PardesiDhola Tele Films in year 2007
- Baba Banda SinghBahadur Film in the year 2010
- A numbers of Add Films in year 2011,
- Commercial Film “SIRPHIRE”in year 2012,

- Commercial Film “ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMRITSAR” in 2016,
- Web Film “FYAAR” in 2018,
- Commercial film “UCHA PIND” in 2019,
My film Baba Banda Singh Bahadurwas greatly appreciated by Shiromani GurdwaraParbandhak Committee (SGPC). Apart from this, my other films mainly Tele-Films “Wada Ghallughara” (took place at Kuprahire – Malerkotla, Punjab) and “ChhotaGhallughara” (took place at Kahnuwal – Gurdaspur, Punjab) based on Sikh history were liked by masses and greatly appreciated by the people who matter in the industry and governments both.
