Having seen Pinjar, while Urmila completely bowls you over with her portrayal of the delicately nuanced but complex role of Puro, the film as a whole doesn't leave you moved enough. And this, despite the subject of the Partition, which still evokes nightmares for most, even today.

Pinjar could have probably worked better as a five-part series or some such on television, like say a Tamas but as a film it only intermittently moves you, touches you.
