Pinjar is a genuinely good film, with great acting, good narrative, good presentation, touching emotions, etc.
It seems to me that the quality of films that Bollywood is producing is quite improving these days, and this film is one evidence.
No Bollywood movie that I can remember of made such an impact on me - I was literally thinking about the movie for hours - marvelling at the various emotional situations that test the human in a human.
The film rests on the great acting of Urmilla Matondkar, and also some from Manoj Bajpai. Urmilla plays a girl in North India in the background of the partition, and all troubles seem sweet if compared with the problems she happens to face.
A must-see film. A technically superior Bollywood product, which I feel is comparable to the best movies coming out of other countries in the world.
