Khamosh Pani (Silent Waters)

A story of people who bore the brunt of the partition .... whose life were partitioned into two distinctly different phases .... where they were forced to turn away from their previous lives to start a new one living with the ghost of the life they had known...

A movie.... a woman's perspective on partition... and how she suffers silently yet again at the hands of people she loves.....

A take on political / religious fanatism to involve unsuspecting youth in the name of religion.....

A woman (Ayesha played by Kirron Kher)... for whom a well of water symbolises death ... not life ... yet she is forced to drink the water from the same well that was the grave of her mother and sister .......

How people on the other side chose of think of her as dead for their own peace of mind ........
How she was without a religion as she was not good enough for any... ??
She questions .. which heaven she will go to ...

A man .... who left his wife on the other side.... still hopes for her to be alive....but observes her death anniversary every year ..

A statement on people lost in two worlds..... trying to make sense in the insanity that we call life today....

Kudos to Sabiha Sumar for creating such a riveting piece....
