So after reading the book ,,IceCandyman" by Bapsi Sidhwa, unto which this film is based upon on, i decided also to watch the film.
And i were not disappointed, the movie is able to capture the basic ideas of the book and turn them into a well thought movie plotline.
Some of the characters from the book didnt turn up in the movie and there were also some of the storylines (including the end ) alternated for the sake of a two hour movie, but the message from book and movie aswell still remains the same.
Before reading her book i didnt realize how severe and traumatic the partition of India& Pakistan must have been for the people, who were/ are still affected by it. Its a shame, what the British did and this trauma of mass displacement, forced migration, and killings of millions of people will be integral part of the indian subcontinent.
I recommend everonye to also read the book, it will give a deeper insight into the personality of each character and the storyline!
