"Sindhustan" is a movie on Sindhis and Sindh. I watched it several times and each time I got more ideas about what happened in partition with Sindh and Sindhis.
Sapna Moti Bhavnani is based in Mumbai. She is a producer and director of Sindhustan. Sapna has never been in Sindh. Sapna is Sindhi. In her age of 36 she realized that her roots are in Sindh. Identity is a thrust and Sapna not only through mind and soul but also physically wants to travel to Sindh. However, her visa was denied. Tattoos on her body are permanent and will always remind her about her roots in Sindh. She herself has become Sindh. Sindhustan is a very unique name coined by our beloved Dada J P Vaswani.
Sindhustan is an hour-long documentary movie worth watching to learn the soul of Sindh, which is love. The documentary has the message that from Mohen Jo Daro to Jhulelal , from Bhittai to Dada Vaswani and from dancing girl to Sapna there is love, love and only love. In Sindhustan there is neither a hero or heroine and nor a villain.
This is a unique documentary movie in which Sapna has put efforts to reach out and educate young people through art that what is Sindhustan? What happened in partition? She speaks through her body and it is an art that is most powerful tool in the movie. This is first time in history that motherland is described through body art (tattoos).
Sindhustan has already won four international awards and is also nominated for other two awards.
This is more than a movie. It is a movement and whoever wants to join Sapna's movement must watch this movie. I highly recommend to young people to watch Sindhustan.
