Manto was an amazing writer, And this Story is another level. Thanks to Director Ketan Mehta for portraying it so beautifully. A Must-Watch Movie for those who wants to feel the real pain of Partition.
I cried during and after watching the movie.
The movie is very crisp and hard hitting. One of the best films made on partition. There will be strong scenes in between the film that will strike the hardest. Very beautifully crafted, outstanding acting by Pankaj Kapoor & all the cast and a tremendous direction.
The people from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh will never forgive the people who were involved in the partition for their own greed for power,

Pankaj Kapur is a great actor and the reason I watched this. He plays his role wonderfully, as wonderfully as he played all the other roles I've seen him in.
I've never seen anything by Ketan Mehta and this film is the reason I will never knowingly watch anything of his again.
Where do I start? Did he even ever read Manto? Or did he just watch the Doordarshan adaptation and decided to make a really bad copy? Who is this nauseatingly correct and good-natured clown? Manto?? There are so many things wrong with this picture that it's not even a picture anymore. Pathetic, completely untrue, talentless piece of. Seriously. If you want to know about Manto, read Wikipedia, it will give you a better picture. If you want to watch Toba Tek Singh, watch the Doordarshan adaptation (which is not very good, but way better than this one). Or just read. Any of his stories. Such a talented writer deserves to be remember. Not distorted beyond recognition.

One of the best movies that I have seen my life, but It is a heartbreaking fact that our directors can't really utilise Pankaj Kapoor the way I have seen him in this movie.
I'm currently lived in Toba Tek Singh.
