This movie is based upon Khushwant Singh's novel "Ek Chadar Maili Si". This is a prime example of good Pakistani movie making - a very very rare sight. The movie is well cast and well acted. A pre-partition, Sikh family in a small Punjabi village. Lead character is played wonderfully by Sangeeta (real name Parveen) and the tortures of being a woman in India. Shot mostly outdoor in the most serene and non-glamourous locations.
The Indian counterpart of the same movie named after the novel had hema Mailini playing a Punjabi woman with a Southern accent. It was nasty! Sangeeta also directed this movie and created another niche for herself. Must see for all South Asian movie lovers.
