The movie Pinjar deals with making the world a more beautiful place to live.

The movie is based on the famous novel by Amrita Pritam and depicts riots, human agony and hope. It’s a story about the time of partition when riots resulted in lakhs of displaced families. The riots most affected the women who were brutally kidnapped or raped during the rising Indo-Pak tensions.
