I have seen many films in my lifetime but here I am going to talk about Pinjar, which is based on a novel written by Amrita Pritam
She was a famous Punjabi writer
The film is based on the plight on the plight of women during the partition of India
Pinjar literally means skeleton
It is the story of a young hindu girl Puro who lives with her family happily
She is engaged to Ramchand
One day Puro is kidnapped by Rashid
Actually Rashid’s aunt was once kidnapped by Puro’s family and Rashid wants to take revenge
After kidnapping Puro, Rashid falls in love with her
One day Puro somehow escapes from Rashid’s captivity and comes back home
Her family does not accept her because they think she is not chaste any more
Unfortunately, her brother Trilok, who loves her a lot is not home at that time
She returns to Rashid and gets married to him
When trilok returns home he burns Rashids farm and crop.
Meanwhile, Puro is very unhappy with life and becomes a Pinjar, Skeleton
Then partition is announced
Lajjo, Puro’s sister-in-law is kidnapped by muslims
Rashid helps Puro find her
Puro falls in love with Rashid because of his goodness
Rashid gives her the option to go to her family in India but she refuses
The film ends on a happy note
