Premiering at Tribeca 2008 in competition, and winner of numerous international prizes including the FIPRESCI award at the Osian Film Festival, “Ramchand Pakistani” tells the true story of an accidental border-crossing in the desert frontier of Pakistan. A young Hindu boy—Ramchand (Fazal Hussein)--- and his father (Rashid Farooqi) wander across the border into India and are detained, leaving Ramchand’s mother (Nandita Das) to fend for herself. A tragic yet uplifting tale of a family separate by borders--- brought together by love and faith.
