Vapsi did not break box office records in terms of money. But it won the National Film Award for Best Punjabi Film. And the morning after the awards, Jassi Shergill held a press conference.
But Mitti da Putar captured the soul of Punjab. Jassi’s performance in the climax—where he holds a handful of dying, poisoned wheat while screaming, “Eh mitti meri maa hai!” (This soil is my mother)—broke hearts. The film collected ₹7 crore against a ₹1.5 crore budget. It was a superhit. For the first time, a "common man" had become a star. 7hitmovies punjabi movies

To prove he wasn’t pretentious, Jassi went full commercial. A heist-comedy about four friends trying to steal a golden pagri (turban) from a museum in London. It was silly, loud, and packed with one-liners.
The premiere was held in a single theatre in Amritsar. No fanfare. Just Jassi, now 31, looking tired and calm. The film was 2 hours of silence, longing, and a single scene where his character sees his childhood home on the other side of the border and just whispers, "Ghar aaja, veere." (Come home, brother.)
