It is a story of a boy and a girl, but also a country. This tale of fiction derives almost entirely from stories of people during the Partition of India. The past is always present. And decades later, when all incidents of woe have been spoken of, what remains is the early feeling of love that was too personal to share.

3/5

But while its intentions are noble, and its heart is very much in the right place, the film meanders, especially in the first half.

Shah... acts the hell out of what might be his meatiest part in a feature film in the last decade. Especially how he enacts the dementia episodes, when Ishar recognises someone momentarily, and when the light leaves his eyes.

4/5

Naseeruddin Shah's performance is so terrifyingly authentic I wanted to seek out his number as soon as the show ended to check if he's doing okay. There are no more words left to hail one of our greatest living actors.

A Partition-era story worth falling for.

The film boldly confronts the severe psychological repression that followed Partition. However, Main Vaapas Aaunga sticks to the conventional portrayal as Muslims as the aggressors in communal riots.

Great movie. Classy and very different. Don’t overthink, just go watch it. You’ll feel good. Nice job by Imtiaz Ali. Keep them coming.

At the end of it all, as the movie ended and the credits rolled, I only had one thought resonating in my head - Kya Kamal Hai!

Naseeruddin Shah is the saving grace of the movie.

Masterpiece! Will always be remembered as Imtiaz Ali’s best. A refreshingly humane film in an age of jingoistic crap from Bollywood.

A beautifully made film that presents the best and worst of human behavior. Imtiaz’s best film ever with one of the best all time performances by Naseeruddin Shah.
