The movie is based on a true incident of 1947 when partition of India took place and redcliff line was drawn.the frontier line between India and Pakistan is passed through a house of begumjaan and after that the whole story was about how begum jaan and her girls save their house in partition.
Vindhya balan is playing the role of begum jaan and as her style she did extremely good in that role other actresses like Sharda and poonam also did justice with their presence.
Naseeruddin Shah played his role again well and aashish vidyarthi also appears very well.
So over all script, acting, drama, screenplay are very good to watch
