Synopsis
An epic love story caught in the 1949 events that divided India & Pakistan.
Partition is an epic love story of two people caught in the events that divided India and Pakistan in 1949. Starring Jimi Mistry (East is East; the Guru) and Neve Campbell (Scream, Wild Things) , Partition is a moving account of a personal romance against the dawn of a new world. Determined to leave the ravages of war behind, Gian Singh (Jimi Mistry) resigns from the
British Indian Army to a quiet life. His world is soon thrown in turmoil, when he suddenly finds himself responsible for the life of a 17 year old girl, traumatized by the events that separated her from her family. Slowly, resisting all the taboos, Gian finds himself falling in love with the vulnerable Naseem (Kristin Kreuk) even though they are separated by their opposing faiths.
