Percept Picture Company (PPC) will yet again bring Indo-Pak relations closer, as they again take the responsibility to release another Pakistani Film “Ramchand Pakistani” in India. After successful journey with cross-border film Khuda Kay Liye, PPC is in all good confidence that Ramchand Pakistani would add more feathers to their cap. The film directed by young Pakistani women Film-Maker, Mehreen Jabbar, stars India’s most critically acclaimed actress Nandita Das, along side Pakistani actors like Rashid Farooqui, Noman Ijaz, Maria Wasti, Navaid Jabbar and little boy Syed Fazal Hussain. The film will open in Indian Cinemas this August 22.

Ramchand Pakistani is derived from a true story concerning the accidental crossing of the Pakistan-Indian border during a period of extreme, war-like tension between the two countries by two members of a Pakistani Hindu family belonging to the 'untouchable' caste, and the extraordinary consequences of this unintended action upon the lives of a woman, a man, and their son.

The singular theme of the film is how a child from Pakistan aged eight years learns to cope with the trauma of forced separation from his mother while being held prisoner, along with his father in the jail of a country i.e. India, which is hostile to his own, while on the other side of the border, the wife-mother, devastated by their sudden disappearance builds a new chapter of her life, by her solitary struggle for sheer survival.

The film portrays the lives of a family that is at the bottom of a discriminatory religious ladder and an insensitive social system, which is nevertheless tolerant, inclusive and pluralist. The irony is compounded by the fact that such a family becomes hostage to the acrimonious political relationship between two neighbor-states poised on the brink of war.
