`Partition’ is a very excellent but not expansive film about a time and a space Americans know small about. Here and there it reminds me of two of my popular Hindi films; Pinjar (which also deals with the partition and marriage outside your faith) and Lagaan.This one is certainly not of the caliber of these two but on the certain side you don’t have to read subtitles.
My Rating: Jimi Mistry delivers a strong performance as always and Kristen Kreuk shows she’s more than unbiased a lovely face. We worth a glance or two for the history lesson if nothing else: -4 Stars-.
Partition refers to the British empire’s partitioning of India into India and Pakistan [and subsequently the forming of the nation of Bangladesh, out of section of Pakistan]. It has been the subject of numerous books and movies, and is truly a tragic period in history.

The movie here centers around Gian [Jimi Mistry], a Sikh who served in WWII, and who is panicked by memories of his friend Walter, who was a war casualty. Gian returns to India to derive a nation torn apart by hostilities between Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs, and teetering on civil war [which eventually led to partition]. He returns to his dinky village in Punjab where his feeble battle comrade, Avtar [Irfan Khan, who played the role of the father in Namesake] leads a group of Sikh villagers to massacre Muslims on their intention to migrating to Pakistan. Avtar justifies it as allotment of the ‘war effort’, but Gian wants no fraction in it.
Things pick up more complicated when a Muslim girl, Naseem [played by Kristin Kreuk] escapes the massacre and is eventually found and sheltered by Gian, earning him the ire of the villagers. Gian and Naseem predictably waste up being romantically entangled, but things are not all rosy for the pair. The rest of the yarn deals with the aftermath of Gian and Naseem’s relationship amidst the turmoil of Partition.
Though a lot of the state seems a bit contrived and predictable, the main actors, esp Mistry’s Gian and Kreuk’s Naseem, do a credible job of fleshing out the characters. I was initially perturbed by the choice of Kreuk as a Muslim-Pakistani woman, but she pulls it off with aplomb, in fact is quite credible in her portrayal! She conveys scenes of raw emotion with mammoth skill, as does Mistry.
There are generous supporting roles, esp the role of Avtar and also Neve Campbell as Margaret, a British citizen who aids Gian and Naseem.
The movie is beautifully shot - the cinematography is breathtaking, esp of the Indian countryside, the period feel of the movie is well-portrayed by the sets, and the collect is beguiling.
Partition reminds me of a Hindi movie, Gadar, starring Sunny Deol as a Sikh who rescues a Muslim woman, played by Amisha Patel. The two movies have challenging parallels, but Partition benefits non-Hindi speaking audiences in that it is shot primarily in English, with a few smatterings of local dialect.
On the whole, Partition is a well-made movie on a controversial and painful subject and though it is primarily a romance, the conflicts excited by Partition are well-conveyed. Highly recommended!
