What an amazing breathe of fresh air this film was, following the start of the summer bandwagon of Rubbish comes a small movie that proves budget & stars does not always mean success, look at the less promoted titles also.
I must admit that i did not realise like i am sure a lot of people the intense hatred between the Sikhs and the Muslims at this period of time. I being white and married to a Indian girl myself had a very big interest in this movie and although i found the film amazing it did not historically shed any light on what i did not know about this point in time. The slaughter of both the Sikhs and Muslims was graphic and the cinematography was fantastic.
The only down side to this spectacular movie was giving a role to Neeve Campbell, the British accent was laughable. Mistry and Kreuk were brilliant with Mistry putting in an alround stunning performance.
The story keeps you entertained the whole time and you do not know what the ending has in store. I being an old romantic was waiting for a happy ending but you see for yourself. I can only strongly recommend this as a must watch film, a stunning film from story, score, performances, i just cannot fault it. You will see little better and a lot worse this year so please go and enjoy this film as thats what cinema is there for, enjoyment.
