About 'Main Vaapas Aaunga'
Based on the India-Pakistan partition, Main Vaapas Aaunga has an old-world charm, and every minute detail has been taken care of, including the costumes, furniture, and the breathtaking landscape of Sargodha in Pakistan. The place offers a blend of colonial history and agricultural landscapes and beautiful homes with spiral staircases. It is indeed a poignant film, and there are many who can relate to it, just the way I can because we have heard heart-wrenching stories from our grandparents on partition. How would you feel if your garden were in Pakistan and your living room were in India… it could confuse you, right? That’s exactly what
