Earth (1998): Adapted from Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel Cracking India, (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year), and directed by Deepa Mehta, the movie opens in Lahore of 1947 before India and Pakistan became independent. It is a cosmopolitan city, depicted by the coterie of working class friends who are from different religions. The rest of the movie chronicles the fate of this group and the maddening religious that sweeps even this city as the partition of the two countries is decided and Lahore is given to Pakistan. English, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, and Parsee, with English subtitles, 110 minutes.
