The story

Before you press play

Set against the volatile backdrop of 1982, 'Ishqnama' unfolds as an extraordinary and high-stakes love story between Nimma and Nasima. Their deeply personal bond, forged along the starkly divided India-Pakistan border in Punjab, becomes entangled in a complex web of national identity, intense security crackdowns, and strict community divides. This timeless tale explores the immense human cost borne by individuals caught in historic political shifts, showcasing a love that endures despite distance, politics, and societal barriers, moving beyond conventional romantic clichés with raw emotional power.
