Personally i think this film is great. Its Indian through and through but its definitely not Bollywood, there is no happy ending and they all don't live happily ever after.
It carefully re-constructs an image on Lahore back in the late 1940's when Indian was still one, under the British Raj. It builds up toward the moment of partition and the horror that followed.
Following a diverse group of friends from various religions and the effects of partition on them. What I like is that this film does not bias towards any one side and make out the opposite an enemy, it takes a significantly neutral perspective which is honest in nature. Aamir Khan is absolutely amazing in this and perfectly acts the role of a young Indian Muslim back in the 1940's.
This is no documentary but follows certain events closely and shows the consequential events to follow.
Move aside bollywood, and let people watch this film.
