Memories of a great love and loss during the 1947 Partition are recounted by 95-year old Ishar Singh Gewal (Naseerrudin Shah) of a young Sikh and Muslim girl in love living in Sargodha. As he shares his story with his London residing grandson, Nirvair (Diljit Dosanjh), the past unfolds through deeply emotional storytelling of migration and longing that endures across multi-generations.
Director Imtiaz Ali’s poetic, charming and heartbreaking film led by an incredible cast is layered by a soul-stirring soundtrack by A.R. Rehman inspired by Partition survivors. “This tale of fiction derives almost entirely from stories of people during the Partition…who we love and where we belong lives with us forever. This personal treasure sustains us and defines the quality of our lives.” – Filmmaker, Imtiaz Ali
