Set against the backdrop of the partition, the story follows a Muslim family migrating from Lucknow to Lahore, who are assigned a haveli vacated by a departing Hindu family. The plot takes a dramatic twist when they discover that the Hindu family still resides in the house and refuses to move out.

Shooting in Amritsar adds so much authenticity to a partition-era film. Khalsa College is such a beautiful location with historical significance. Hope they do justice to the sensitive subject matter.

Karan Deol has big shoes to fill, but working with his father and such a legendary director should help. The plot sounds intriguing - two families refusing to leave the same house during partition. Hope it's not just another star-kid launch vehicle.

Partition stories always remind us of our grandparents' struggles. My nani used to tell us how they walked for days from Lahore to Amritsar. Hope this film captures the human stories beyond just action sequences.

The cast looks amazing! Preity Zinta returning to films after so long, Shabana Azmi's powerful acting, and Sunny Deol in a Santoshi film again. This could be the comeback vehicle for many. Excited! ✨

Interesting that they're adapting Asghar Wajahat's play. Partition narratives need sensitive handling, especially when showing both communities' perspectives. Hope they maintain the play's nuance and don't just make it an action drama.
