one of the best movies ever made

I saw this movie many years ago...and although so many years have passed this movie still remains etched in my mind.It was MS Sathyu's debut film as director. But he has till date not made a better film. To say that Garam Hawa is one of the most poignant and moving films ever made on the Partition is merely stating the obvious. Directors like Ritwick Ghatak had also earlier dealt with the Partition of Bengal. But Garam Hawa, made in 1973, marked the first time that a Hindi film director had handled the subject with so much sensitivity and realism.

I went to the market to purchase a DVD copy. But alas!!..It was not available in the Indian market. It is such a sad situation that being a Indian movie it is not available in India!!!...if anyone who reads this and has any knowledge as to the address where i can buy a copy IN India please email me at the foll address vinamra88@yahoo.com.I shall be ever grateful.

Trivia
Balraj Sahni passed away just after finishing the dubbing of the film. His own daughter had died at a young age and there is a touching scene in the film where Salim Mirza's daughter commits suicide. His expressions are as real as they can be, in the scene when he finds her dead and in the next scene, is at her funeral. It was one of his best performances and his presence added a lot of class, grace and lifted the film to great heights. The effort and passion of the unit was rewarded by having him as the lead actor.
