Audience Member http://youtu.be/e0jxVYyXXas Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The density of pain caused by partition and the human values lost in the meaningless fight of religions, Pinjar hits hearts with a bang. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A couple Lion colleagues of mine in India executive produced (or financed?) this flick. Partition and redemption. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member wonderful story, one of best from indian cinema Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I had a hard time watching this because I kept not wanting to see hard scenes that I was sure were coming. In the end, I was very glad that I lasted through the whole movie, though it took me several days. While this should be considered a romanticized (as opposed to realistic) look at the issue of displaced women at the time of the partition, it is nonetheless an important voice in the telling of that story. When you can combine that with a movie that also works as entertainment, you have done an amazing job as a story teller. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite movies !!!!! Great !!!!! Yes, it is based on a novel by Amrita Pritam.
