Good Movie Recommendations for Comprehension

I have bad speaking skills in Punjabi but my comprehension is decent enough that i understand my parents talking to me. Im a teenager but give any movie recommendations, i dont mind, just one that ill really enjoy and maybe be able to understand with no subtitles (my goal is to become more fluent)

For genre i havent watched any Punjabi movies in a while but i quite liked Jawan and other war films so please recommend that type of stuff. I also enjoy Anime Rom-Coms so those could be fine too, i just think id prefer war movies cause thats what i enjoyed as a kid.

Like i said earlier, id like to watch with no subtitles so id prefer if less complex language was used. im asking because i want to learn how to speak and get a larger vocabulary. thanks in advance for any suggestions :)

edit: I forgot to mention this before but please suggest movies which use clear understandable speech in Majhi dialect, because thats my target dialect and is the one i understand best. thanks.

Hello. Im 14m from Australia with Indian parents. whenever i go to a relatives house or when we go to India, i can never (properly) speak Punjabi to them. I can understand everything (aslong as im not trying to translate because thats super hard for some reason) but speaking is a different beast. My parents often blame me for it, they say i wasn’t interested in learning at a young age and i only spoke English, but like idk. Cause yes i do remember hating Punjabi school back when i was a small child and throwing tantrums over going to it, but now i feel as if my parents are obligated to teach me my mother tongue at a young age to keep the language alive in an English speaking country.

But my parents told me that they only ever spoke Punjabi to me at home, and as a toddler Punjabi was the only language i spoke. If that was the case, why have i stopped? My parents still speak Punjabi at home, but I always juat reply in English because speaking is too difficult. Also, when i do speak, i automatically use “hai” when referring to myself even though i *know* the correct form is “haa”. ive basically got the wrong stuff drilled into my brain.

I just kinda wanted to vent out here because i do want to teach My children Punjabi so they can continue to speak it, i just dont know what went wrong with me.
