Larki Punjaban

Punjabi Girl) is a 2003 Pakistani Urdu film directed by Syed Noor and starring Babar Ali, Saima, and Shamyl Khan.

[1][2][3][4][5] A simple, love story between a Sikh girl (Saima) and a Muslim boy (Shamyl Khan).

Partition lines were drawn on the map of the British Raj, dividing not only the subcontinent but also provinces, particularly Punjab.

All in the name of religion and nationalism, people who had lived together in harmony for centuries committed mindless acts of violence against each other, resulting in over one million deaths that including Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus.

One such person was a young Muslim man who refused to participate in the fires of hate and destruction burning around him.

Knowing her family would disown her if they discovered that she had converted to Islam, she contacts her sister, pretending to be a long lost Muslim friend and invited her and her family to come to Lahore for a religious pilgrimage to 'Nankana Sahib' a highly revered Sikh Temple, where thousands of Sikhs travel to visit it every year.

As in fables, will love to conquer all, or will the harsh realities of life suffocate the young lovers into submission?
