Sardar Mohammad

The movie is based ona story like many others from those turbulent times in 1947 when Punjab was divided hastily by the British. The scenes at times were painfully long. The attempt to depict 60's time, some of the colours were excessive in use. And once the characters were in Pakistan, it was a pain to watch director's poor understanding of the people across the border. Starting from language (that was not from the area that the story mentioned) to clothing (it was more of a stereotype of UP/Pushtun culture than of Punjab).

Acting was pretty ok. But I strongly felt that this story deserved a much better treatment than this.

A very touching movie based on true life events having take place during partition of 1947. This partition which was very painful is blot on the history of world. Wounds have still not been healed even after 70 years of human tragedy due to Holocaust. Many affected families are still awaiting for their dear once separated at that time. A Good Movie

Sardar Mohammad is not your usual slapstick, loudmouth Punjabi movie.

Based on a true story, this is a touching retelling of the events; beautifully retold for the most part. A great aspect of the story is the way in which the Sikh values of equality and respect are depicted within the first half; the message being that religion and caste should not cause divide.

Tarsem Jassar puts in a fantastic, emotionally charged performance, as does Sardar Sohi and pretty much everyone that plays a part. Some of the stereotypes in the latter half may be over played when they cross in to Pakistan but overall the cinematography and storytelling is well executed.

It's a tear-jerker so have tissues ready and press play!

As they say in the movie that only those who went through hell of 1947 realize what it was. A wonderful display of Sikh values that value all human beings and religions. Based on true story so you can't have flashy Star Wars experience. Long one shot takes shows that the director is very good. Songs arent great but who needs them when story is moving smoothly. Overall it was entertaining watching this movie.

Overall, it is great movie with very beautiful concept. The director really needs appreciation for almost non-polar views on partition. Otherwise, the Bollywood movies and the movies from Pakistan show half truth only. Offcourse, there was room for improvement. The very important thing is, whenever they try to show the people from pakistan, they make it compulsory that every pakistani Punjabi must be wearing a religious cap. Those religious caps may be seen in religious schools, otherwise if you stand on any street, average pakistani punjabi is just like average indian Punjabi. The old generation wears turbans, the younger are bare headed. the other thing is about punjabi dialect. If you go to faisalabad, toba tek singh, gojra or shahkot, the accent will be exactly like the accent of Jalandhar. Of course, you ill find the majha accent in lahore, and its suburbs. But in the movie, the punjabi accent is very much artfficially created, that seems non-sense. let it be natural, the punjabis are the same on both side of the border. The only difference may be the style of turban.
