Partition -
 "Click to view larger image")
India, 1947, in the last days of the British Raj, a way of life is coming to an end.
Intertwining cultures are forced to separate. As PARTITION divides a nation,
two lives are brought together in a profound and sweeping story that reveals the
tenderness of the human heart in the most violent of times.
Gian and Naseem are a latter-day Romeo and Juliet. With the partition of India and
Pakistan sparking bloodshed between Sikhs and Muslims, their respective people
might be mortal enemies but Gian and Naseem are determined to follow their hearts.
He refuses to abandon his pledge to leave war and its atrocities behind, she can’t
forget his courage and kindness in saving her from his countrymen’s swords. As
their love flourishes and eventually finds acceptance in Gian’s village, the search for
Naseem’s family goes on. When it proves successful, their delicate world is shattered.
A brief visit to see her family in Pakistan becomes a kind of imprisonment for
Naseem, as her brothers and mother remain bitter about their fate at the hands of the
Sikhs in Gian’s village and refuse to let her return to India. Gian sets off on a journey
across a land whose wounds are still raw, hoping against hope that he can bring
home peace and harmony. With its rich tapestry of stories and characters based on
real people and events, Partition is a moving and timeless tale of innocent people
struggling to find happiness in treacherous times.

This is a very moving story set in a time in history when hate was thought to have overwhelmed everything else but for Gian and Naseem's love for each other.
A touching movie as it is with a tragic end. This is one of those movies that helps you get those lachrymal glands acting up to cleanse your eyes of toxins. Storyline well written. Scenes very well depicted and geography and culture very well researched. I am very impressed.
Happy sobbing and enjoy.
