Released in 2003, "Pinjar" is a poignant period drama that brings to life Amrita Pritam's classic novel of the same name. Directed by Dr. Chandra Prakash Dwivedi, the film is set against the backdrop of the tumultuous Partition of India in 1947. Despite its compelling narrative and powerful performances, "Pinjar" remains an underrated gem.
