Partition

Partition is an epic romantic story of two people caught in the events that divided India and Pakistan in 1949 – the partition. Determined to leave the ravages of war behind, Gian Singh (Jimi Mistry), resigns from the British Indian Army to live a quiet life in his Sikh village in Northern India. His world is soon thrown into violent turmoil when he finds himself responsible for the life of a 17-year-old Hindu girl (Kristin Kreuk) who has been traumatized by a vicious attack that separated her from her family. Slowly, resisting all the taboos, Gian finds himself falling in love with the vulnerable and beautiful Naseem as he tries to locate her remaining family. Facing scandal and derision from the villagers Gian and Naseem marry. Five years go by, and the couple seems finally free from the ghosts of the past – even the villagers have come to accept them and their little daughter. The past, however, returns with a vengeance when Margaret Sitwell (Neve Campbell) arrives with news of Naseem’s relatives in Pakistan. This should be good news, but it sets off a series of events which separate Naseem from her husband and daughter. Having struggled so hard to find happiness, Gian cannot let it go and risks all to reunite his family. – Myriad Pictures
