I have seen the film. It is not so well known as the other films on the
Partition genre such as 'Meghe Dhaka Tara' and 'Gram Hawa'. I quite liked it.
However, to piont a minor inaccuracy in the posting, BR Chopra's 'Dharmputa'
is based on the eponymous novel written by Acharya Chatursen and not on
Tagore's 'Gora'.
Cheers
