This drama serves to highlight the terrible times of the India-Pakistan partition; a time when a million people died and 12 million people had to cross great distances. The focus of the drama is a Hindu woman, nanny to a Pharisee girl, who has a group of male fiends of all religions. As Partition comes nearer racial tensions flare.
Nicely produced film, but I have to say it is a sub-standard DVD. I don't want bloopers, hidden extras, directors commentary, I'm not even complaining that there was no informative interviews with the authors, what I object to is the quiet soundtrack and the hard-coded subtitles (as was the norm on old VHS releases). For a film in Hindi 80% and 20% English it is a shame that there is only English subtitles burnt onto the film. My wife might have preferred to watch with no subtitles, and I have aunties that would have preferred subtitles only on the English sections.
