Set amidst the ethnic cleansing and general chaos that accompanied India’s partition in 1947, this sweeping drama stars Irrfan Khan as a Sikh attempting to forge a new life for his family while keeping their true identities a secret from their community.
Set in the backdrop on India-Pakistan partition of 1947, Qissa is a spiritual allegory in the garb of a ghost story. The film deftly uses a supernatural element to highlight the plight of women who, irrespective of which country they are in, are always the victims of patriarchy.
