I was surprised to see that much of the film had been filmed close to Vancouver, BC. The set dressers, I thought did a great job to create what easily passed to my eye as India. While there were other aspects of the film that I enjoyed, I think that Deepa Mehta's film 'Earth' is a better rendering of the partition story and better communicates the situation. It is the intellectually deeper of the two films with much more meat on its bones. 'Partition' came across a little light-weight in that regard. The mixed race love story is clichéd though the origins of this one seem credible; it does leave a few open questions as to just how (in)tolerant the various ethnicities involved were at the time.
