This courageous and moving award-winning film on the Partition of India evokes both painful memories and raises powerful issues which continue to trouble the sub-continent. Lyrically shot on both sides of the Indo-Pak border, with a strong local ethos communicated through the music, the language and the people-the film should be watched both by those who care about the legacy of the Partition as well those trying to understand the complexities of fighting wars in those lands.
