Urmila Matondakar, the lead actress of Chandraprakash Dwivedi’s Pinjar, has said that the movie is unbiased and doesn’t have anti-Pak rhetoric that is to be found in many of Bollywood’s patriotic kitsch.
About the movie, which is the cinematic adaptation of Amrita Pritam's famous novel of the same name, Urmila says “it (the movie) is based on a universal story.”
“Pinjar is not biased. It is not a backlash against any religion or country. It is a fair film. It says that atrocity does not have any face or religion,” says the actress.
Pinjar has Urmila playing a middle-class Hindu Punjabi girl who undergoes the trauma of partition.
What particularly makes Urmila happy about Pinjar is that it doesn’t have any anti-Pak rhetoric. She believes that the movie will help in bridging the gap between the two countries and will be enjoyed by both Indians as well as Pakistanis.
“I hope Pinjar releases in Pakistan, so that people over there can see it,” says Urmila.
