    Excellent and touching drama movie related to the partition of Hindustan to India and Pakistan. It?s based on a novel with the same name.

    If you only see one Hindi film in your life, Pinjar is an excellent candidate to be that film. Urmila shines in the female lead and Manoj Bajpai may have turned in his best work to date opposite her. Poignant and by all accounts historically accurate, this is must-see cinema.
