Album Description:
The saga of human strength during trying times. Pinjar is the strength and hope that epitomizes the way many people responded to a brutal past. Based on the novel by veteran writer Amrita Pritam, the film takes history into an unexplored sphere. Puro is the symbol of undaunted strength and determination, filled with dreams and desires. She loved life and all it's small pleasures. And one incident forced her to face death slowly, but she derived inspiration and a reason to live because she couldn't see the plight of other women around her. Puro's mission and inner strength are very poignant nuances of the film. Her spirit and love breaks the shackles of mayhem and misery.

Another great film from a genre (India Pakistan Partition) that teeters on the cusp of being throughly worn out. So many films have been made on this topic that one may begin to think, "Oh, please not another Partition film.", but this one is quite refreshing with its creative story and directing/acting.

It simply isn't black and white and Pinjar does justice ... Read More

Intense, haunting and moving drama, excellent acting by the principals, great cinematography.
Urmila has been known more for her looks and dancing than her acting, and in this film she is ... Read More

"Pinjar" portrays the life of a young Hindu girl named Puro as it unfolds during the separation of Pakistan from India. A Mulsim man named Rashid kidnaps her the night before her wedding as an act of revenge against her father. As planned, Puro's kidnapping brings her family into social disgrace, and they refuse to accept her back once she has been violated; she has no choice but to marry Rashid. While it is obvious that Puro is an innocent victim of the vengeance between the two families, it is less ... Read More
