Plot
: When the British ended over 300 years of rule in India, India was split
in two to create a country for the Moslems - Pakistan. Huge populations of
people moved either to Pakistan or away from that land and to India. During the
migration, people's frustrations often boiled over and took shape as religious
violence. Partition takes place during that period.Our hero is a simple,
single Sikh farmer, Gian, played by Jimi Mistry, most recently seen as Nabil in
Blood Diamond. He's stoic, honorable and loyal. While in the forest, he
chances upon a young woman in hiding, Naseem. She was part of a caravan of
Moslems who were ambushed and slaughtered by a group of Sikhs. He tries to hide
her in his compound, but soon the villagers find out and they become desperate
to spill her blood, in revenge for the train load of massacred Sikhs that just
arrived.Jimi Mistry was excellent and very convincing as a humble and morally
strong Sikh. His character was a professional soldier, but as a farmer, he was
not about to succumb to blinding religious rage and recklessly kill others for
revenge. Looking into his contemplative eyes, one could see a quiet
intelligence, but as we later learned, he was also trying to hide deep personal
emotional wounds from the war. There was a certain depth to his performance that
makes me hope we see more of him in film.Kristin Kreuk may be half Dutch, half
Indonesian Chinese, but like fellow Canadian actress Lisa Ray, who is half
Indian and half Polish and who starred in the Oscar nominated film Water
(as well as the bomb Bollywood/ Hollywood), Kreuk didn't seem miscast to
me at all. There are fair skinned Indians and during the film, I never wondered
for a second just how much, if any, Indian blood Kreuk had in her. I have never
seen her in anything else, despite the popularity of shows like Edgemont
and Smallville. Had they cast Nicole Kidman, then I might say that she
doesn't look Indian and that was a distraction. In some scenes, her complexion
did make her stand out, but for me it wasn't a negative. I can see how someone
could make an issue of her being miscast based on her oriental features but that
just wasn't an issue for me. |
