In 1947, the same tumultuous year that India and Pakistan were divided into two separate states, a Sikh and former soldier (Jimi Mistry) puts his life on the line to save the life of a beautiful Muslim woman (Kristin Kreuk). In the wake of the heroic rescue, the two strangers find themselves falling in love. But are they destined to stay confined by the strict boundaries of their respective faiths?
Netflix Rating: 3.8
Rotten Tomatoes: Rotten 40%: Consensus: A disappointing melodrama focussing on the partition of India and Pakistan. Strange cross-culture casting doesnt help the pedestrian script and direction.
Fresh: 8 Rotten: 12 Rotten Tomatoes page
Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: Where the film stumbles is the script, overcrowded with bits of business and scenes that lean heavily on the symbolic. full review
