A Timeless, True-Life Story of Power and Passion
Woodland Hills, CA – Allumination FilmWorks proudly presents the critically acclaimed, award-winning drama Partition on DVD on April 8th. Partition will be available for a suggested retail price of $29.98.
Even in a land ravaged by hatred, fear and intolerance, the seeds of love can still take root and blossom. The year is 1947, and amidst the chaos and bloodshed unleashed when India and Pakistan are split into separate state, Sikh and former soldier Gian (Jimi Mistry, Blood Diamond, Ella Enchanted, the Guru) risks everything to save Naseem (Kristin Kreuk, Eurotrip, four-time Saturn Award and three-time Teen Choice Award nominee for “Smallville”), a young Muslim woman, from a violent mob. Soon, love builds a bridge between their two worlds, healing the wounds in both their hearts? But how long can their joy last when religious zealots try to tear them apart forever?
With its rich tapestry of stories and characters based on actual people and historical events, Partition is a moving and timeless tale of innocent people struggling against all odds to find happiness in treacherous times. It has been compared to such classics as Dr. Zhivago, Gandhi and Out of Africa.
“(A) South Asian Romeo & Juliet, Partition is big and ambitious,” hailed The Toronto Sun. “A beautiful movie,” raved CalgaryMovies.com, and The Globe and Mail called it “an accomplished film.”
Partition was nominated for nine Leo Awards including Best Feature-Length Drama, Best Direction and Best Screenwriting, and won for Best Production Design and Best Sound Effects Editing.
The film’s powerful cast includes MTV Movie Award, Saturn Award and two-time Blockbuster Entertainment Award winner Neve Campbell (the Scream trilogy, Wild Things, “Party of Five”) and her real-life husband, John Light (The Prophecy: Forsaken, The Prophecy: Uprising, Woody Allen’s Scoop), as well as Madhur Jaffrey (the Oscar-winning A Room With a View and Howards End), winner of the Berlin International Film Festival’s Silver Bear Award as best actress for her unforgettable performance in Shakespeare-Wallah.
Partition is co-written and directed by Emmy and Gemini Award winner Vic Sarin (Left Behind, Love on the Side), who also served as the film’s cinematographer. The film’s score is by ASCAP Award winner and Emmy nominee Brian Tyler (Rambo, Constantine, Frailty).
