‘Sardar ka Grandson’ movie review: Gently gently turns fully filmy

This Neena Gupta and Arjun Kapoor starrer has an interesting premise, but is let down by a narrative filled with clichés

If you can’t help grandmother revisit her home, move the home to where she is. That one line sums up the storyline of Sardar ka Grandson. The grandmother is Sardar Rupinder Kaur (Neena Gupta), a nonagenarian who is keen to revisit her home in Lahore, which she had to flee during Partition. Decades on, the wounds of Partition linger... Memories of life on the other side of the border, and day-to-day life as it existed before religion and national boundaries drove a wedge into neighbourhoods. The uprooting of families meant losing a piece of one’s heart, and rarely does one find closure to unhealed wounds.
