A fascinating and informative look at the Partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. Sadly, this brilliant historical drama is tarnished by an instance upon romance and a deplorable ending.

The movie sacrifieces some of the drama for the love story but not in a way that it becomes a distraction to the main story. It is still a very good movie with great cinematography.

Sometimes flawed in its storytelling, and I don't think the film needed the love story to bring human context. There's enough power within the true events of the film, and while I don't think it was completely successful, it is still an interesting film, shedding light on events that I had little knowledge about.

It's ok enough in telling its story but it's top-down approach makes it hard to showcase why it's such a complex issue. As it is, it's mostly about map-painting and drawing borders and less about why that caused so much trouble and instability. I appreciate they tried to course correct with glimpses into common people's lives but the little time spent on it didn't help that much.
