Ramchand Pakistani

This was a bit dull, thought it was going to be about how Hindus suffer in Pakistan, instead the director plays off politics by using the character in India. Ahmadiya muslims, sikhs and hindus suffer a lot in Pakistan and need better coverage than this storyline.

I was unsure about the movie. but when i watched it i was surprised. Directed by Mahreen Jabbar it is a nice film. The acting of the young ramchand is great. All other artists performed well.

There are a few things which should have been checked. 1. The film is slow paced. though it had the gripping element which "Khuda key Liye" lacked badly, it would have been nicer if the film were slightly faster paced.

2. Noman Ejaz was misfit. He didn't speak in typical rajhistani or sindhi way. A local actor would have done better.

3. Maria Wasti also performed well but at occasions she spoke urdu like the pakistani way and forgot the typical Indian accent.

4. The jail supretendent spoke the urdu perfectly didn't even try to change his accent at all which was too bad. Indian people don't speak urdu that way.

5. In the last scenes when ram chand is being released from Indian jail he was holding a plastic bag with English and urdu written on it. He should have been shown holding a bad with Hindi or better nothing at all written on it.

6. The ramchad's mother failed to deliver any nice acting. I wonder why she was casted in that role.

Overall the film was great and it worth watching. Expecting more films from the new director

Its a good movie; Based on a harsh reality, which is was shown in soft way. So as it could be watched by both Indians and Pakistanis without any discrimination.

Although few things were shown really very softly. e.g. The jail life But still its a very good movie considering the standard of Lolly wood. Acting is good specially the acting of the Nandita Das as mother was awesome. Moreover culture highlight of Thar desert was also good although its far more tough than what shown in the movie.

This movie resulted in creating healthy awareness and as per my info the govt of both India and Pakistan agreed to have the border wired (Except for Kashmir Region Which is a disputed territory as per UN resolution.) so as accidental crossing of border could be stopped.

Ramchand Pakistani is a story of a Hindu lower caste Pakistani boy and his father living near the border area. One day both the father and the son cross the border and arrested by Indian security. They spent several years in an Indian jail and the mother does not have any information what is happened to them. After some years only the son returns to his own village in search of his mother. The film is brilliantly directed but the story line is little bit pure. Both the father and Ramchand(younger) acted very well. The film has a good back ground score and the last song 'phir wohi raaste' is excellent with a good picturization.

i saw this movie yesterday(22.03.2011) in DD national...............this one is simply mindblowing........i have ever thought that a Asian can take a movie like this............everything in that movie was perfect........ the direction, the screenplay, the characters especially the younger ramchand character,.......very perfect.........
