Partition (1:55) 2007

This is a good movie! Partition is set in India during the late 1940s. The war is over and the Sikh soldiers return to their villages. Gian is a mustard farmer who just wants to lead a quiet life in peace. The partition of Pakistan and India takes place and with it massacres of innocent people, both Sikh and Muslim. Gian rescues a Muslim girl and protects her by taking her to his home. The villagers do not like her and want to take her away from Gian. However, Naseem is safe as long as she is Gian. Over time, Gian and Naseem fall in love, marry and have a son. They are living as a very happy family. Naseem is notified that her family is still alive and living in Pakistan. She visits them in Pakistan but when they are told that she is married to a Sikh, her brothers literally lock her in her room. Will Gian and Naseem ever be reunited? I enjoyed this move, the scenery was awesome. I hadn't realized all the turmoil and bloodshed that the partition had caused in the middle of the last century. The soundtrack enhanced the movie which did turn into a soap opera in some scenes. All in all, I highly recommend this movie for those who like historical drama and/or romance movies.
