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
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.
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.
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 n I know I replying to a really old post but I thought I’d share something
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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. )
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.

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.
