Manto

MANTO ( available on Netflix) a film depicting life of Saadat Husan Manto, a writer/poet who had to migrate to Pakistan from Mumbai. His anguish against the partition of India and divisions among people. Very well made movie by Nandita Das. Serious backdrop and serious viewing. This film won many International film festival nominations and few awards. Well made, good literary references, but at times very intense.
