Aftermath of Partition and the Simple Truth, 9 May 2005
10/10
Author: South_Node from India

Shyam Benegal does it again.. with slow pace and original lighting - with it, without it, in-spite of it the director cum story writer conquers hearts at will. Without poetic dialog and without any song and dance sequence, Mr. Benegal is able to do what most other people haven't quite succeeded. Show to someone who doesn't know anything at all about the Partition - not why it occurred (now this is no political commentary) but rather what came out of one of the most painful episodes in the history of India. Mammo basically manages to paint a picture of the emotions - estranged ones go through. It shows, what happens when people and places we take so often for granted... become lost forever..
