QISSA tells the story of Umber Singh, a Sikh, who is forced to flee his village due to ethnic cleansing at the time of partition in 1947. Umber decides to fight fate and builds a new home for his family. When Umber marries his youngest child Kanwar to Neeli, a girl of lower caste, the family is faced with the truth of their identities; where individual ambitions and destinies collide in a struggle with eternity.

What’s Good in Qissa:

The daring show of how one man’s misogynist nature results in ruining the lives of those close to him. This film is exemplary for all those instances of female oppression that our country has been plagued with since times immemorial. But the film is provocative poetry, and not preachy polemic, which makes it a true work of art.

Qissa Movie Complete Review:

A rare movie with a rare ability to intervene with its formidable intelligence and observation. Anup Singh’s ‘Qissa’ is a story beautifully, brilliantly and bravely told. The artistry is undeniable as it peeks into identity crises, gender biases, desires, obsession, compassion, blind faith with an eye of hope tying the extra layers of love, lost and gain with terrific casting and incredible performance.

Umber Singh (Irrfan Khan) victim of the partition is an inhabitant of Punjab in Pakistan – forced to vacant his birth place for the new Pakistan, Umber comes to Punjab in India and starts a new life with wife Mehar (Tisca Chopra) and his three daughters.

However even after getting on track after the trauma of partition Umber still strives for a son after having three daughters. Meher gets pregnant and delivers a baby girl but Umber in his blind obsession for a boy raises Kanwar (the fourth girl child) as a boy and even manages to convince his daughters.

Kanwar (Tillotama Shome) grows up as a young lad and is enjoying all the attention from her father and peers as boy including a dramatic flirty wink by a nomadic girl Neeli (Rasika Dugal). But Neeli turns out to be different from what Umber has imagined resulting in a gender defining haunting reincarnation of Kanwar into womanhood in this unique adage of gender identity and unfulfilled desires.

Plus Points : Coming soon..

Minus Points : Coming soon..

All India Roundup Rating: 2/5

Conclusion:

A marvel of ambition, intelligence and observation NFDC’s first German collaboration ‘Qissa’ is a distinctive adage veined with thought-provoking gender defining moments and outstanding performance. A must for true connoisseur’s of art and cinema.
