Begum Jaan

Begum Jaan transports us to the communally-charged time of the Partition, and the ‘butchering’ of India into two parts.

Begum has full faith in the Raja (Naseeruddin Shah), whose patronage she enjoys, but her hopes are eventually dashed when he tells her the reduced authority of royalty in the new, democratic India. Begum Jaan also subtly shows the ‘what if’ side of the Partition. What if men had taken up arms and refused to be divided on the parochial basis of religion?
