 Excellent Historical Drama + Kristin Kreuk = 5 Stars July 24, 2007
Gary L. Stanley (Silver Spring, MD United States)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Ordinarily, I find historical dramas to be boring, but when I learned in 2006 that this movie was being filmed I contacted Seville studios to find out when it would be released. Unfortunately, this important film was never released in the United States.
It's not often that one can learn about a historical event while enjoying the dramatic reenactment with very high-quality direction, acting, cinematography and music.
During production, the casting director was given a lot of guff for casting Kristin Kreuk as a Pakistani Muslim girl, but I'm here to tell you that she pulled it off and since she is Eurasian, fit into the part perfectly.
Oh, by the way, for those of you who only know her from her character Lana Lang on Smallville, Kristin is just as beautiful without makeup.
The film is a social commentary on the vagaries of people being judged by their ethnic origin rather than on WHO they are. This still goes on in all the Muslim countries (just look at the modern-day Sunnis/Shi'ites/Kurds in Iraq)
On top of an interesting story well told, there is also excellent cinematography and score that is just icing on the proverbial cake.
Buy this while it's available here on Amazon because the price will likely only go up in time.

As you can see, my prediction made back in July about the price (above) has come to fruition. That's quite a jump in price already!
So worth it February 19, 2008

I was waiting for ever to find this on netflix or anywhere.
But its really hard to find in Florida. I ended up purchasing this dvd and Im so glad I did. It was worth it. Loved it. I cried... yada yada. But on a more serious note it was one of the best historical dramas I've ever seen. And she (Kristin) is so cute in the movie. I dont know about Neve Campbells accent though, a british accent on her looks strange.
Beautiful story!! August 11, 2008

The Partition is a beautiful love story. It is set in 1947 when Pakistan and India are split into seperate states. Gian, a former Sikh soldier risks everything to save Naseem, a young Muslim woman from a massacre. He takes her to his village and hides her. The village accepts her and they wed and have a son. After some years pass she finds out her family is alive and visits them in Pakistan. They hold her prisoner and will not let her return to Gian and her son. Gian risks everything, converting into a Muslim, to save Naseem. Her family will not release her to him and she has to escape. As Gian and his son are about to board the train Naseem shows up and for a moment they are reunited. Naseem's brother and Gian fight and Gian is accidently knocked off a bridge in front of a train. The Partition is a tremendously moving and awe inspiring story of love that sees no boundries!!!!!

This was one of the best movies I have ever seen, its thoroughly crafted, executed and beautiful, from start to finish I was riveted, the setting and subject matter are not wildly known or depicted but make for a timeless backdrop for an epic that is truly epic, buy this movie you will not be disappointed.
Partition DVD Review September 19, 2007
A. Ramos (USA)
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
This DVD was just a charm from beginning to end in a lot ways and I'm not just referring to the actual movie but the whole package.
This DVD started on a good note from the get go when I was able to take the security tape off with ease, which seems to never happen with any other DVDs I purchase!
Usually I end up ruining the box one way or another and having glue from the tape still remind on the borders of the plastic of the DVD, making the DVD all sticky and one big mess! So I'm super glad it didn't happen this time around.
On to the actual box, I was really pleased with the graphics on the front and back covers. It didn't look cheap and actually looked better than some other DVD box graphics that I own from big budget Hollywood films.
Also all over the box the Warner Bros. appeared it was everywhere even on the DVD wrapping! Which makes me question, if Warner Bros. took part in releasing the DVD, why not the film in theaters? Hmmm...
Now as for the face of the DVD, I wasn't feeling it. Maybe it was meant to look the way that it did but it just didn't go with the good quality of the outside box. The DVD face was this bright orange and the image itself seemed really washed out, to the point you could barely read the words on it. But in reality it's something that really didn't irritate me too much since it's what's on that DVD that counts!
The DVD interface is really simple, but nicely done and the music which is from the soundtrack as the back drop music really adds a calmness to the interface.
Sometimes some interfaces have so much going on and you have to wait through different intros every time you switch through the different options of the DVD that after the first few times it becomes an annoyance.
The options you have on this DVD are as followed-- Play Movie, Set up, Special Features and Select Scene. The ones I listed below have other sub features to them:
Set up:
You can dub the movie into French and change the audio for the English version of the movie...not sure as to what you can change it to, but there's no options to put English or French subtitles.
Special Features:
Includes:
Commentary with director Vic Sarin and Actress Kristin Kreuk - Vic and Kristin spend most of the commentary talking about all the work that it took to make the movie as well as explained a lot of the meaning behind a lot of the scenes between all the characters, Kristin of course did all the talking for the Naseem scenes. It was really enjoyable and it was my favorite feature of the DVD.
Trailer - Same as the one you've seen on the official Partition movie site in English, there's also one dubbed in French.
Making of - Same as the one that aired on Movie Details, it's a good 48 minutes worth of the making of Partition, if you haven't seen it already you'll enjoy it even more!
Photo Gallery - There's a lot images in the gallery of the cast aren't found on the web.
The Movie:
As for the movie itself, I really enjoyed it, the story was very touching, and I learned a part of history I knew very little about. Visually the movie was insanely gorgeous and the message of the over-all movie is something I wish more people followed!
Over-all
My only real complainant of the DVD is the fact there was NO SUBTITLES! How they overlooked that feature is beyond me, but they did!
Besides that I have no other real complainants to throw at the DVD, it was really worth it!
