Jabbar. The film casts Rashid Farooqui, Nandita Das, Noman Ijaz, Maria Wasti,

Ramchand Pakistani is derived from a true story concerning the accidental
crossing of the Pakistan Indian border during a period of extreme, war like
tension between the two countries by two members of a Pakistani Hindu family
belonging to the 'untouchable' caste, and the extraordinary consequences of this
unintended action upon the lives of a woman, a man, and their son.
The singular theme of the film is how a child from Pakistan aged eight years
learns to cope with the trauma of forced separation from his mother while being
held prisoner, along with his father in the jail of a country i.e. India, which
is hostile to his own, while on the other side of the border, the wife mother,
devastated by their sudden disappearance builds a new chapter of her life, by her
solitary struggle for sheer survival.You are bound to realize how true this
actually is.All set to hit the theatres on August 22nd, 2008. |  |
