Batwara 1947 review: Partition film too safe and staid

Batwara 1947 is a movie about a very sad and scary time in history called Partition, when India and Pakistan were being separated into two countries.

The movie follows a family: a father named Sikandar, a mother named Hamida, and their daughter Tanno.

They live in a city called Meerut, but angry people are coming, so they decide to run away to another city called Lahore.

While they are trying to leave, a big crowd attacks their train at the station.

In all the chaos, the family's son, Javed, is left behind.

The movie also shows terrible things happening to other families, like a group setting a Hindu family on fire.

A movie reviewer watched this film and wrote about how it made them feel.

The reviewer thinks the movie is okay but not bold or powerful enough.

They are upset that the film tries too hard to show both sides being equally bad, and they wish it would speak more strongly to today's world.
