About Batwara 1947
Batwara 1947 draws inspiration from Asghar Wajahat’s acclaimed Urdu play Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya O Jamyai Nai. Set in Lahore soon after the Partition of 1947, the play explores the human cost of the division through the story of two families from different communities.
The film follows a Muslim family that moves into a mansion that once belonged to a Hindu family. The elderly Hindu matriarch refuses to leave her ancestral home, creating tension with the new occupants. However, as the story progresses, the family’s relationship with her gradually changes.
Alongside Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta and Shabana Azmi, the film also features Karan Deol, Kanika Kapur and Abhimanyu Singh. Aamir Khan Productions has backed the project, with Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit serving as producers.
