  • Check out my rendition of Partition!

  • Kristin kreuk is too pretty for a movie like this..

  • @ReassuringSmile wtf is that supposed to mean

  • @ugonhurchobak its a nicer to say she shouldnt play this character

  • @ReassuringSmile my question is why.

  • @ugonhurchobak Your question WAS "what was denotative meaning ?" For your current question; Its my opinionated statement I don't think she should play a pakistani girl because her character simply does not suit. Transcending from action thriller like Smallville street fighter and etc, is very dynamic in a way and I don't like it.

  • @ReassuringSmile Just curious, my question is/was what is your foundation in stating what you did. For "too pretty for a movie like this" may imply that playing the role of a struggling SouthAsian/Middle Eastern girl is below her. There are many stories to be told on this Earth my friend, far beyond comic book and video game heroes. While I respect and love the role of fantasy,I respect any actor's decision to uplift&bring attention to others' struggles.i believe itis thedeeper missionof acting

  • @ugonhurchobak I'm entitled to my opinion and do you, right?

  • @ReassuringSmile Superficially, yes.But tome opinion is dead when not available for growth. Then it merely becomes a trap on the mind's ability to perceive the panoramic Truth. much like ignorance. just food for thought. a world of individuals sticking to their opinions is like a body of cells each naivetothe influence each has on the other and the body as a whole. not tripping off your opinion, tho my own instinct is i find it ignorant, but just a wordto the wise about the word 'opinion.'peAce

  • @ugonhurchobak My way of thinking is always take things with a grain of salt, if people are ignorant and take whatever your opinion may be, then you've succeeded, growth or no growth you change that time continuum. I just tell then to shut the hell up bitch, and let it happen

  • @ReassuringSmile Though i'm sensitive to potentially unfair or unfounded biases, [particularly racial/cultural], I try to shy away from judgment and name-calling by asking questions to clarify. Anger management 101 lol. It's all about learning context to that which we find ignorant. thanks~

  • @ugonhurchobak Youtube or online in general is no place to be politically correct, say whatever you want and get away with it, fact or not. I have a pretty good understanding the psychology here, sure refrain from judgement in reality its the best way to live, however there has to be an outlet to say what you need to say, and thats online opinions come on. I can give 2 craps about being concise or what is ignorant. let it happen.

  • @ReassuringSmile I'm a Huge advocate of being consistent with who I am wherever I am. I don't believe in phone or internet ganstas. If I won't say it to your face disrespectfully, then I won't here. No need for disrespect, was curious. your 'opinions' inform my understanding of where I live, believe it or not, so you're helping me.Ignorance is the act of not knowing. we should all be concerned with what we don't know, for that is oftentimes what destroys us. Empowerment is in knowing. Peace.

  • Offically my favorite movie

  • Everytime I hear the song Desert Hearts by Trading Yesterday I think of this movie.

  • this a copy of Gadar ...they just changed the story line about the war  part.. other wise this was the same movie!

  • I love India, this looks so good!

  • LANA LANG?

  • nice and very touching movie i love it

  • I watched this movie.. it is great. Though the movie is in english, it conveys the message strongly. Language is no barrier for human sentiments.

  • I watched this movie.. it is great. Though the movie is in english, it conveys the message strongly. Language is no barrier for human sentiments....

  • I watched this movie.. it is great. Though the movie is in english, it conveys the message strongly. Language is no barrier for human sentiments...

  • Somebody have this movie with Spanish subtitles? Because i'd started to watch it and i didn't have watched the end

  • Allama Muḥammad Iqbal was the first person responsible for PARTITION.he gave a foolish idea to seperate our countries.he is a criminal because he wrote Saare Jahan Se Achcha poem for hindustan before partition and later changed his mind for forming a seperate muslim nation..then it was followed by jinnah,liaquat ali khan etc..another main reason was nehru.he wanted to rule india so he was not ready for a muslim majority government to rule..we are common in many things so we should not fight..

  • very good movie , and those who are wondering the music in this trailer its " Serenata (choir) " by immediate music

  • I just saw this movie on Netflix. It was good but only second best to Deepa Mehta's "Earth". A must see!

  • @elweffa : I agree completely. While Partition isn't bad, it's nothing compared to Earth.

  • ONLY I WANT PAKISTAN AND INDIA BECOME FRIENDS 

  • whats the name of the song?

  • its a remake of Gadar an indian movie..dang why they copy it

  • @radhadhavale haha i know right!! i looked at it and i was like wtf.. it sounds like gadar.. i really wanna see the pull the nalka out move by jimmy

  • хуйня какаято

    а кристиан кройк афигенская

  • this looks so fucking awful. 

  • im BRINGING light on our people suffering!!!.............

  • i guess it has the exact same story like of Gadar (2001)

  • @Vickramjason yeah very similair to gadar and its a great movie. love wins over religion

  • @Vickramjason not exact same though

  • @youcantwrestle

    i guess this trailer made me think like that...! truely not that same...!

    also character played by Kristin Kruek is perfect..!

    also i like the OST of this movie..!

  • One of the best films I've ever seen! VERY BEAUTIFUL.

  • i love this movie so much ,it is really worthy of watching ,i am a muslim and i don't feel offended of this movie because it really drew a just picture of 1947 india ,it was not one party's mistake it is muslim,hindu and sekh's mistake.they did harm their own country.

  • @ThePondo2 dude its "sikh"

  • it's not just a love story , it represents so much more .. omg

  • Well this is the problem, those kinds of plots ruin a good movie, where a girl from one religion falls in love with a man from another religion. We've seen enough of this in b-wood movies. The movie should have been about the death and killing and everyone should have been blamed for it not just one group. Maybe tap into the psychology of why humans do such acts, in a group mentality etc, what inspires them etc. The whole love scene does nothing for the movie, other then making it unrealistic.

  • you guys are a bunch of poor losers...come out of it...u should be thankful u did not get to see the partition...then all of ur hinduness and muslimness will have vapourised into thin air...All of those who participated in riots during partition , after and even now are empty brained dogs who have no right to live...Dont u have any thing else to do? Humans were better off before religion occured...

  • such a sad film! =[ i really love it though, i think its beautiful

  • I'm seeing this looks great.

  • I love this film! It's truly beautiful!!

  • so need to watch this!

  • OMG you can watch it as a freebie in HD on [ MOVIES ACE . C0M]

  • maybe they should speak in hindi to make it more authentic

  • @kundimaharaj You mean speak in punjabi right?

  • people, you are missing the main point which is the movie

  • never heard of this movie

  • I found that the story, written by Sarin, does not point a finger of blame on either side, simply comments on the the death and suffering that 'religion' has brought to the world since the beginning of mankind. still didnt see the movie watch at BigOnlineMovies . c o m

  • The MOST BEAUTIFUL MOVIE EVER!!

  • The pathetic part of the partition is India still has more Muslims, for whom the country was divided into two. one for Muslims and the other for Hindus.

  • Yeah it sucks. Muslims are like 13% of Indian population right now. But, Muslims are further divided on regional basis like we have marathi muslims and so on. It was really difficult to get each and every muslim from India over to pakistan It was only possible for jammu kashmir Muslim and so on close to the border and with Muslim majority regions..

  • Aside from the religious divisions there are cultural differences heavily. Which leads me to think the creation of Pakistan was dumb. My grandparents moved from India Punjab to Pakistan Punjab, Now that I live in Canada I see that my people have more in common with Sikh Punjabis rather than Pakistani non Punjabi Muslims

  • gandoo ke bache

    Muslims are better of in Pakistan then in India. Before partition most of punjabi Muslims were poor peasants and were exploited by these extremist sikhs and hindus who use to own much of the property. Muslims were majority yet most properties were own mostly by non-muslims. Atleast Pakistani Muslims are free and their destiny is not controlled by a hindu majority.

    Ask the Muslims who have remained in Indian Punjab and you would see they are poor marginalized people.

  • Punjabi Muslims poor peasants? Punjabi Muslims are the same as Punjabi Sikhs or Hindus, just different religion. Punjab has always been majority Muslim since the 1200s

    for example, Im a Jatt and there is Jatts of the same family clan as me that are Sikh, same goes for other high classes like Khatris and Rajputs

    Dont act like you know a single shred of Punjabi history you idiot.

  • Muslims in Punjab and bengal were generally poor and uneducated. Lahore was a mostly Muslim city yet most of the property of Lahore was owned by hindus before parition.

    The british were generally against Muslims and prefered hindus and sikhs in government jobs etc. There was a systematic british attempt to weaken Muslims who wanted to revive mughal empire under bahadur shah zafar.

    these sikhs were the biggest lap dogs of the british, hence alot of them served in british army

  • Im a Jatt and Rajput, two of the highest tribes of India and Pakistan, the majority of Pakistan Punjabi is Jatt, Rajput, Khatri, Gujjar, Arain, all tribes which are dominant in all areas of history and present day. You must be from Karachi where people have no tribal identity or culture, just chew pan and ride rick shaws, 4 foot tall dark skinned bhaiyas

    You sound like either a Karachi Mohajir or a Gujarati Hindu...Honestly there is no real difference between the two

  • good. muslims are awesome!

  • I can never see her as a muslim. The religion nor the origin from where they claim her in this movie.

    I think that is what will ruin watching this movie for me.

  • why doent u be more under standing (kylejones7) the guy saved her life and he treated her good and u say she should get beat up, cuz she saved her life by living with a guy omg what u whant her living in the forest and sacrifise till she dies i feel so sorry for u, im a muslim and if that was my daughter or who ever i would thank that guy for the rest of my life.... i wish people like u r more educated.

  • whoa... shes good at an idian accent...

  • i think the biggest tragedy is now the kid will be raised muslim.

  • its ironic that you would say that when your still willing to judge another so harshly your self.

    "she should be beat"

  • ??? you're a fucking idiot. its sarcasm, does kyle jones sound like a dam muslim name.

  • what should I know about muslim?

    yet you seem to have temper issue that need tending to.

    What ever the case it's an awesome movie and I'm going to get it. :)

    For I didn't think it would all that good but after watching it, it was increatable intense. She's an amazing actress.

  • @whatupchico im losing you in translation here.

  • kristen kreuk is a bad muslim, she should be beat for living in a house of a man that she is not married to.

  • You probaly aren't a good muslim either. do't be talking about krsiten Kruek she an amazing actress and you should try to live up to who she was in the movie.

  • you are clearly retarded. I was merely being sarcastic. Kristen Kreuk is not a muslim, and neither am I. I was implying that her character is a bad muslim because.........read the rest.

  • the Idea that Abdul in the film had locked up his sister because she married a sikh ?

    Cant they be more sterotypical of Muslims males locking thier females

    Its the only thing they show about Muslim as being wicked evil, your typical western idea

    1) Muslims at the time were not the only one

    2) there are Many Muslims at the time who treated their womens with respect !

    Another film to bash on the Muslims

  • How about a film showing Muslims, Hindus and Sikh faught in WW1 and 2 for the freedom for the west ?

    Cus there were many !!!!!!!!!

  • quit your crying, this was made by a sikh

  • truth hurts huh

  • seriouly what whining is there you stupid white hick ?

    Just because i said the truth yhou want me to shut up ?

    Come one you post is simply retard just stop please stop

    LMAO

  • @whitemanstand72 i have no idea what you're talking about. but you sound like a bad person.

  • maybe ;)

  • i want to see this. kristin kreuk is awesome.

  • THIS IS THE FAULT OF

    ILLUMINATIC BRITISH EMPIRE

    WHO SOW THE DISCORD AMONG ASIAN

    but anyway destroy islam also

  • I like movies that don't look at the political aspects of the partition of India but the affect of partition on it's normal people be they are Muslim, Hindu or Sikh.

  • Kristin Kreuk is gorgeous!

    however I don't think she can pass for a Pakistani girl... she's eurasian and most her features definitely lean more toward the Chinese side.

  • if u guys are talking about Kristin Laura Kreuk , Her father, Peter Kreuk, is of Dutch descent; her mother, Deanna Che, is of Chinese descent, but was born in Indonesia; her maternal grandmother was born in Jamaica of Chinese descent.

    :o)

  • Anyway this movie was good really sad and depressive.This is a lesson for people,learn to promote peace and love.

  • the reason she has green eyes and looks almost white is because she's actually more like 60-65% white.she's not really half because you have to also count her great grandma being white, her grandma being white/half chinese and mother being 1/4 white aswell even though she looks really chinese.

    the actor is also a mix race british/pakistani.without the beard he could somehwhat past for an hispanic too.

  • Comment removed

  • omg she is soooooooooo pretty and an amazing actress too!

  • haha and the lead in this movie is benny (the guy trapped in the book) in ella enchanted

  • yes she is ..i loved her in smallville..although i don't know why people hated her so much in smallville....she is so pretty :)..i'm gonna try and find this movie.

  • oh well than they're lost

  • A PEACEFUL WORLD? Bullshit! The English are the greatest mass murders in history. There will never be peace until that shitty little island is sunk, after of course first recovering all the stuff they stole from around the world.

  • @velvetfog Enough blame to go around I'd say--Yes the Brits were an arrogant bunch of SOBs' back in the day, but let's not forget the the Greeks (Alexander), Muslim conquests (of Europe,Asia, and India) the Americans (Nixon,etc.,etc.) the French (Napoleon), The Russians ( Stalin, etc.) , the Chinese (Mao,etc.) the Germans (Hitler), Serbia (Meolosovic), and last but by no means least the Roman Catholic Church (the Crusades and the Inquisition)--that's just the short list.

  • @velvetfog well that doesn't sound like the warrior cry of a mass murderer...

  • @velvetfog I'd love to see you try you ponce :-D

  • What was the small boys name?(his real name)

  • WHAT IS THE SONG???

  • it looks like a great movie

  • I found this movie to be romantic and bittersweet, but beautiful in every way. "Partition" is a tremendously moving and awe-inspiring story of love that sees no boundaries. Just as Naseem had said, "Let them see who their enemy is," I have learned immensely from this film, and this film has showed me that love can blossom in a time of hatred.

  • The sikhs lost half their population because of partition. it wasnt just muslims killing sikh and sikhs killing muslims. it was the sikhs who stayed in pakistan and converted because they chose there land over their faith and people. Muslims in india never had to convert.

  • harpal-modor chaud sikh the puttar

  • i really love kristin but why didn't they cast an indian girl for the part ?!

  • actually pakistani, not indian...

    she has pakistani blood in her...and looks like a pakistani girl.

  • really? i read that she was part chinese. either way, she is lovely.

  • actually shes half dutch, half chinese, born in vancouver

    haha but she could pass off a role as an asian, white, and pakistani...which is pretty cool

  • Pakistani I don't think so. your facial/skull structure is no where relative to a Pakistani. If she was a Korean instead of Chinese she would have a better chance of looking Pakistani.

  • Why that? Since as far as I know most koreans have strong mogolid features whereas especially souther and western chinese can look oriental.

    But Kreuk looks like somewhere around the silkroad to me here...doesn't matter shes pretty! :)

  • well she played pakistani in here...and i think she did pretty damn good

    but thats just my opinion

    everyones entitled to their own

  • @pinaypower94 After I watched the movie. I have to completely agree. Despite her eyes on racial differences I totally fell in love with the movie :)

  • no i dont think she does

  • she doesnt have pakistani blood.. but yea her looks can pass off more as pakistani, she actually doesnt look too different, i know a lot of people in pakistan that look like her, and i have a lot of family that does too

  • @bollytash

    because they have accent lol

  • bad humanity

  • not only is she a great actor..but i find KRISTIN KREUK to be one of the prettiest women alive today.. shes absolutely stunning.. natural beauty

  • Movie was great. All the characters was great but I only hated the war memories with the little kid. Something just didnt click durring his memories

  • Who name the song of final...??? Please!!

  • this is an axact copy of the indian film gaddar starring sunny deol!

  • Gaddar copied Shaheed-E-Mohabbat (punjabi movie) n basically blew the story out of proportion to fit into the masala bollywood genre. Watch the Shaheed-E-Mohabbat, its a really good movie and much more realistic. From wut I hear its actually based on a true story

  • I haven't seen this film, and I'm sure it's great, and this is by no means meant to be an insult against Kreuk who probably does a great job, but it's a shame they didn't cast an Indian/Pakistani actress for the role. There's so few roles already out their for South Asian actors, and the ones that are available are being given to people that don't really look the part.

  • i guess i agree there but i think it's probably because they wanted publicity...but also casting a complete newbie (culture-wise) is a bold and interesting thing to do...it helps for non-asians to relate to kristins character better because they may consider the amount of research she put into her character...i think its pretty inspiring...:D

    peace

  • i hear shes part pakistani as well..

  • Visit SikhTruth. com

  • was this movie a flop or sucess? and i think its great that their trying to make peace between indians and pakistani's even if its just a movie. i think its stupid how there are so many movies made with pakistani pun's and criticism and vice versa. all this hate needs to stop for crying out loud we're next door neighbors. we should be the best of friends

  • It was an awesome film.. only sad they killed off Gian.

  • where i can see this full movie??? plz reply

  • oh man, i cant believe i have not seen this movie yet. <3 Kristin Kreuk.

  • this is a total copy off of a bollywood film called '1947.' a muslim girl gets parted from her family during partition and a former classmate of hers who is sikh finds her and saves her, protecting her from those who want to kill her bc she's a muslim. they end up falling in love, gettng married and having kids.

    yea, this movie's a total ripoff.

  • it still looks good and i want to watch it! hopefully this weekend..

  • its like Gadar aswell.

    thers bre movies with the same story line

  • Yea.. Looks very much like Gadar....

  • this movie is great. its a must see

  • KRISTIN IS THE BEST!!!!

  • movie is really superb....acting is fantastic

  • one of the most amazing movies i have seen in my life. i was in tears watching this movie. Jimi was just excellent along with kristen.

    ending was so sad... but nevertheless this is how life treats all of us.

    may god give peace & love.

  • Movie was good and an inspiration from a real life event, though couple of things were incorrectly shown...

  • Kristin Kreuk is just amazing.

  • isnt this like the indian movie gadar? or was gadar a copy of this?

  • why is it a movie like this, whether its bolly/hollywood that its always a Muslim women and a Hindu/Sikh man? why not the other way round? Is it difficult to portray a Muslim man as an honorable, dignified human, who rescues or falls in love with a Hindu/Sikh women?. Secondly they never seem to show a Hindu women rebelling against her parents wishes to be with a Muslim man, seems to me they wish to portray Muslim women are led easily astray by hindu/sikh man, but yet their women are honorable.

  • Well, this story is a real life story, with real life characters bearing different names. And I guess, love and life is far higher than our man made castes and religions. Hunderds of Sikhs and Muslim boys and girls might have faced the same fate. They might have fallen in love and rebelled. The thing is that being a Sikh or a Muslim means to honour this love, and not to bring forward issues like how come boy a Sikh/Muslim or girl a Muslim/Sikh...

    Regards.

  • Well for one, this movie is based on Shaheed-E-Mohabbat which was a real story. Another thing is "izzat" is generally attached to women in the south asian culture and thats y u hardly ever see a muslim man n a hindu woman in hindi movies. I watched a really bad pakistani movie "Ladki Punjaban" n that had a muslim man and a sikh girl pair. So it works both ways depending upon the majority the film is trying to appeal to.

  • If u watch quality movies with a good storyline, these things do not occur. I wanna give Pinjar as an example. Rashid kidnapped a hindu girl but u find out the hindus started it by kidnapping his aunt in the past and the entire movies goes back n forth showing good and bad sides of both. It wasn't the religion it was the ppl n the culture. That movie does not try to demonize 1 or the other.

  • Unfortunately commercialized films have to appeal to the majority where as independent and art movies don't and I enjoy those because they focus on the raw truth n explore. So if u want to watch a unbiased movie, pick something that isn't there to entertain the mass.

    There I m done my rant :P n I know I replying to a really old post but I thought I'd share something :)

  • Just to add I found out Pakistan made a movie called "Kartar Singh" in 1959 which is the same story. Chek it out. No idea how it is but I will definitely give it a go. If any1 has any idea of "Boota Singh's " memorial ( I heard there is 1 in pakistan) please post.

  • Kartar Singh is a fantastic film. U can find it on YOuTube

  • This movie was so sad but wonderful at the same time! The story between Jimmy and Kristen was obviously amazing, but I really like Neve Campbell's character as well. She really loved him, and even took care of his wife and child.

  • Its so funny. I sorta imagined Kristin kreuk in shalwar kamiz once and now its right there.lol. God she really looks like a desi girl. wow

  • OMG this movie has been done several times in Bollywood, and know offence but what the fuck would Hollywood know about this kind of thing.

  • lol

  • I just saw this movie a few days ago. It's brilliant, but really sad:(

  • What is the name of the song playing in this trailer?

  • She is so Pretty... Ô.Ô (K.Kreuk)

  • whens the movie out?

  • Kristin Kreuk is simply the Best in everything she does!

  • cud somebody upload the movie plz or tell me wher eto find it

  • WOW! culture shock. Strange seeing Kristen Kreuk go from american teenager Lana Lang in Smallville to a young muslim woman in India.

    Cool but strange.

  • haha with her exotic ethnic look she can pull off any race she wants.

  • Love this movies. Seen it at the earlier 2008.

  • such a saaaad movie :(

  • why is the partition movie sad???

  • you never saw it????

  • JIMI mistry is so handsome , I saw this movie , and he had a long hair, I love him he is so cuteeeeeeeeee

  • I Love You Kristin Kreuk..

  • This film has similar taglines from the hindi movie Gadar which relesased in 2001. Gadar was based on a true story therefore I think that this movie too is based on that true story.

  • I just searched for that movie "Gadar" and that movie was the worse movie I have ever seen.. yea probably based 50% on true story and 50% indian hate to pakistan..

    "Gadar" is a typical stupid indian movie. yes of course against the pakistanis!!

    Partition is a beautiful movie..

  • Its amazing how Kristin became the pakistani girl, I mean she acted it really well and i totally forgot that she was western she looked asian somehow. And for those who think Sikhs are bad or Muslims are bad, u dont really know wat happened after partition. There was a vicious cycle of hatred where many innocent ppl from both sides were killed. Sometimes we cant blame anyone this was one such situation.

  • Kristin is half Dutch, half Chinese so that's why she looked Asian. lol.

    I haven't seen this movie but I'm going to look for it.

  • I kind of blame england! read your own country's history (all the countries england occupied) and if England hadn't been in india and pakistan for 350 years then maybe things would have been better.. even after the partition.. Kashmeer belongs to pakistan, and they're muslims.. but being killed by non-muslim indians! STILL TODAY. AND WE'RE IN 2008!

  • this is copy of indian original movie the name is :

    Gaddar ek prem katha ... watch this movie trailer .. this one is the best ...

  • when did this movie come out? Looks good

    i just heard that Kristen will be playing Chun Li in the new Street fighter movie!

  • this is one of the most inspirational movies and thought provocing movies i've ever seen. Goes right along side the movie Water.

    Bravo.
