“Struggle for the freedom of expression during the turbulent times of partition!! The sliver of those times well presented with some fantastic and powerful story telling from the bold and repulsive pen of Munto!!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*Not* for entertainment seekers. Itu0026#39;s for those who can sink inside the every characteru0026#39;s mind and try to explore the circumstantial sense of every scene.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNandita Das has written and directed this by literally living in those characters and times. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am afraid that the time pass movie goers may complain of boredom and classify this movie a documentary. Nevertheless they may still look at others watching the movie to check if they are alone thinking that they way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNawazuddin Siddiqui is promisingly the best actor …sorry the writer. I had to change from actor to a writer because I am still not able to get the Munto out of him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eArt work and sound recording is brilliant!! For some reason I felt the cigarette lighting with a match stick sounded so perfect I felt that itu0026#39;s been some decades since I heard that sound. Same with the sound of the type writer and the ruffle of the paper.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you are movie lover who loves to analyse every scene go to the movie. If you land up into this movie because other movies are sold out, you wonu0026#39;t be sold on entertainment!! Jingoistic expectations will be laid to rest right from scene 1.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI can rate this movie because it will berate someone who will call Priceless!!”
