    This is one installment in the collection of Deepa Mephta's film. This is truly a great film, very touching!

    I would say this is probably Deepa Mehta's best movie...Quite a bold statement for me to make considering other great works by her such as Fire and Water....However this movie had characters which I could easily connect with...The themes of friendship, love and betrayal are brilliantly observed through the eyes of a parsi girl - an idea not new but effective for this movie...Aamir Khan stole the show with his portrayal of a jovial candy man turned neurotic sadist....

    Like Water, Earth is another fascinating story about the people of India, this time during the formation of Pakistan.

    Emotionally shattering.... The movie keeps lingering on brains for days after one has finished watching it. Thinking of the climax still makes me wonder, how humans can turn into animals in name of something as petty n' stupid as religion.

    A deep and important movie. Emotionally wrenching, based off of Bapsi Sidwha's 'Cracking India.' A fairly good adpatation of the book, an excellent movie unto itself. The plot and the cast are excellent. Although it is incredibly shallow of me to say, I am in love with rahul khanna after this as well. A good movie for the right reasons as well as the wrong ones.

    I cannot believe how good Aamir Khan can be as a villain... I hated his character in this story, which just shows how talented he is. Very good and powerful movie!

    An excellent thought-provoking film. I learned a lot about a piece of history I knew next to nothing about. Very good!
