Genre Drama

It's 1947, and the borderlines between India and Pakistan are being drawn. A young girl in Lahore bears witnesses to tragedy as her housemaid is caught between the love of two men and the rising tide of political and religious violence in the second part of the sweeping Elements film trilogy.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann

It's a passionate, beautifully mounted film -- but the agenda she sets for herself is too large and the conflicts she portrays too complicated to be illustrated in a single drama.

Mehta's latest release, combines a similarly intoxicating visual immediacy and delight with a sobering outsider's long view.

L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

Both visually and emotionally, a panoramic picture; Mehta wields a master's hand as she weaves together vistas of urban and pastoral India with thoughts on the nature of man as it keeps cycling out in the specifics of history.

Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan

Telling things through the eyes of a spoiled, precocious, troublemaking 8-year-old narrator is both an overdone device and not a particularly engaging one.
