Punjab 1984

Punjab 1984, a movie set in India, explores the consequences of a state's insurgency on a mother's quest to find her missing son. The story begins on June 4, 1984, during Operation Blue Star, when a group of pilgrims is locked inside a room in the Golden Temple Complex, and a mother risks her life to bring water for her dehydrated child. The plot then flashes forward to September 1986, where Satwant Kaur, the mother, is living alone and spends her days sitting outside the police station, hoping to find any information about her son, Shivjeet, who went missing a year ago. She treats Bittu, a Hindu boy, as her son, much to the jealousy of his parents. Satwant Kaur then discovers that her son was killed in a fake encounter by the police, and she sets out to find out the truth. The film's plot revolves around the characters' struggles during the insurgency and their attempts to cope with the loss of loved ones. Through Satwant Kaur's journey, we see how the state's actions have no limits when it comes to its citizens and how a mother's love knows no bounds when searching for her child. The movie is an emotional rollercoaster that explores themes of love, family, loss, and the struggle for justice in a time of political turmoil.
