Event Details : Cine Lit Fest Train To Pakistan (Hindi/1998) Dir. Pamela Rooks Cast: Nirmal Pandey, Rajit Kapur, Mohan Agashe, Smriti Mishra & Divya Dutta. An adaptation of Khushwant Singh's 1956 historical novel by the same name set in the Partition of India of 1947. The film is set in Mano Majra a silent village on the Indo-Pak border, close to the railway line near where it crosses the Sutlej River. The film develops around the love affair of small-time dacoit Jugga with a local Muslim girl, Nooran. The villagers are a mix of Sikh and Muslims, who live in harmony. Until 1947, when the Indian Muslims start to move towards the newly formed Pakistan, and the Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan migrate to refugee camps in India. One day, a train arrives from Pakistan, which carries the bodies of all the travellers butchered when they departed from Pakistan. That is when this quiet village is changed forever.
