By gone are the times of comedy and it is replaced by  a realistic Punjabi movie titled ‘47 to 84’-“Hun Main Kisnu Watan Kahunga” that will take you back into the past and narrate the harrowing times of partition and the anti-Sikh riots that still haunt the entire Sikh community. Directed by Rajiv Sharma who won a national award for ‘Nabar’, the story of the movie that is all set to release on May 30 has been scripted by Lally Gill.

“We are very happy to finally announce the release date of the movie that will usher in a change for the industry. We seek support from the public as the censor is creating issues in passing the film and the promo. But we are very optimistic and are ready to fight on grounds of examples as many such movies have been passed by Censor before,” said Producer Babli Singh from Shemaroo.

This movie is going to be a refreshing take on the journey of a child through the traumatic times of India – Pakistan partition and then when her life was heading to normalcy, the 84 riots happened. ’47to 84’-“Hun Main Kisnu Watan Kahunga” is a story of a nine-year-old girl named Sukhmani. She gets to witness the partition at this tender age and then the 1984 riots. She decides to pen down a book on the various events of her life. Thus comes into being ‘47 to 84’ that also happens to be the name of the book that she writes.

The starcast will have all new faces so that the characters have no resemblance to anyone and lend a realistic feel. Coming from the stable of Shemaroo that has to its credit some blockbuster movies, the music has already gained popularity.

“The audience has been waiting since long for something realistic and different. Come May 30 and that wait will come to an end and we are sure that the audience will give us their love and support for ‘47 to 84’,” concluded director Rajiv Sharma.
