Partition

Ordinarily, I find historical dramas to be boring, but when I learned in 2006 that this movie was being filmed I contacted Seville studios to find out when it would be released. Unfortunately, this important film was never released in the United States.It's not often that one can learn about a historical event while enjoying the dramatic reenactment with very high-quality direction, acting, cinematography and music.During production, the casting director was given a lot of guff for casting Kristin Kreuk as a Pakistani Muslim girl, but I'm here to tell you that she pulled it off and since she is Eurasian, fit into the part perfectly.Oh, by the way, for those of you who only know her from her character Lana Lang on Smallville, Kristin is just as beautiful without makeup.The film is a social commentary on the vagaries of people being judged by their ethnic origin rather than on WHO they are. This still goes on in all the Muslim countries (just look at the modern-day Sunnis/Shi'ites/Kurds in Iraq)On top of an interesting story well told, there is also excellent cinematography and score that is just icing on the proverbial cake.Buy this while it's available here on Amazon because the price will likely only go up in time.7/24/2007++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++UPDATE: 9/18/2007As you can see, my prediction made back in July about the price (above) has come to fruition. That's quite a jump in price already!

I love Jimi Mystry no matter what he is in...I was pleasantly surprised that this story kept my attention because of the twists and turns it threw out to me.For shooting most of it in Canada, I was totally fooled at the scenery, really believing it was in India that it was shot.The other actors were quite good; as well as the costume design..I wish Jimi would not had to have a beard, He would have looked too good for this story to be believable.I am very glad I purchased this DVD.

This movie was great. It provoked an array of conflicting emotions but I was left with a sense that even in the most cruel circumstances love will always prevail. I think more people should watch this movie and think about mans inhumane treatment of each other. Yet, through all of that in some there is a deep and heartfelt goodness and love of our fellow man. We should be striving toward that goodness and not away from it. I am hopeful that goodness will win out in the end, but that could just be the romantic in me. I hope I am wrong.

First of all, the movie looks breathtaking when played in an upscaling DVD player (like Toshiba HD-A35 or PS3) - it looks almost Blu-ray quality. Its worth picking up a used copy just to savor the rural/farms scenery. This movie could be much more involving if it was in Urdu/Hindi regional language than entirely English. The kind of people depicted did not use to speak English in day to day life and this makes the film feel artificial. Secondly, if you are interested in the subject, Silent Waters depict the same with much more authenticity and the way a strong message is subtly delivered.

I really enjoyed this movie, my expectations were not overly high, I am definitely a Kristin Kreuk fan, so that was my reason for buying the movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I know the movie has been out for a while and has been on Fox in Australia and I'm sure elsewhere, but if you haven't seen it make an effort, I don't think it will let you down. John Try.

I love any movie set in India and anything with Jimi Mistry. This lived up to my expectations. A very close friend of mine lived through the India/Pakistan split and told me about some of the things that happened to people and their families, so this film was of special interest to me. Beautifully filmed, excellent acting and a great story. Every Sunday I "escape" for a couple of hours by watching something I haven't seen before and this film was a great choice.

I thought the story in this film was lovely. Definitely one of those ethnic "Romeo and Juliet" stories between an Indian Sikh man and a Muslim girl. That being said, there was no happy ending which is the one drawback of one of these films.

Partition is a beautifully-shot and well-told love story, and this disc features a gorgeous transfer. The commentary (director Vic Sarin and actress Kristin Kreuk) is informative and interesting, and the making of featurette is long. The disc isn't cheap, but it's certainly worth the money; the film sparkles, even on a smaller screen, and the extras are well worth the price.
