Parzania (2007 - American/Hindi)

Parzania is a movie about the communal riots in the Indian State of Gujarat. Hindus set fire to Muslim communities, destroyed people and families, and police stood by, watched, and laughed. The movie traces a middle class Parsi family who lives within a Muslim community. Suddenly, without warning, riots erupt, people try to save themselves, and Parzan, the young son and brother, is separated from his mother. The parents spend years trying to locate him. The movie also gives a phone number to call with any info. Starring in the movie is Nasaruddin Shah and Sarika Masterm. Both of these two are very good in their roles. The actors who play the young son and daughter are also good. The American role was annoying. The character cussed every two words and drank continuously from a flask. I'm sure all Americans who visit India are not this uncouth, at least I hope so.
