Add Synopsis
Storyline
Biography of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founder of modern Pakistan is told through flashbacks as his soul tries to find eternal rest. The flashbacks start in 1947 as Jinnah pleads for a separate nation from the Muslim regime, infuriating Lord Mountbatten. Mountbatten then tries to enlist Gandhi & Nehru to persuade Jinnah to stop his efforts. Gandhi sides with Jinnah, which upsets Nehru. However, Jinnah turns down the offer to become prime minister and the film takes another slide back to 1916, which reveals all of the political implications that have occurred. Written by John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>

Mohammed Ali Jinnah: [to a fundamentalist] You are an ignorant fool. I have fought for your mother, your sister, and your children's children to live in dignity. Islam doesn't need fanatics like you, Islam needs men of vision who will build the country. Now grow up, and serve Pakistan!See more »
The movie tells the story of the leader of PAKISTAN, the great QUAID E AZAM MOHAMMAD ALI JINNAH, and the creation of PAKISTAN.
A cinematic masterpiece, it brought tears to my eyes and effected me deeply.
This movie sets the record straight about THE GREAT JINNAH, after the biased potrayal of him in the movie "gandhi".
