An astounding take on Partition trauma
This film doesn't belong to Diljit Dosanjh, but to Naseeruddin Shah’s superbly-judged performance, high-pitched yet never quite tipping into grating melodrama.
Two love stories spanning two eras is a running theme in Imtiaz Ali’s filmography. His latest, ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’, a pre-Partition for ever-and-ever romance, juxtaposed against a commitment-phobic present-day couple—in which the girl and guy are doing the back-and-forth chancy-dancy thing, is also in the same zone. It also re-unites him with Diljit Dosanjh, the lead actor of their previous collaboration, Chamkila. Co-written by Ali and Nayanika Mahtani, the film opens with the Chandigarh-based 95-year old Ishar Singh Grewal (Naseeruddin Shah) desperate to get to Sargodha. His faculties are slipping, and he has no realisation that the town lies across the border, created in 1947 to carve India and Pakistan out of the subcontinent, leading to wholesale carnage and bloodshed.
