	Congratulations to all who made this great movie possible. To some people religion is more important, to others it's the community and vice-versa. I am a Punjabi first and a Hindu later. I think 84 is the nadir of Indian history. Though the leaders instigated, but the fact is, the crowds participated. Though these hooligans were the lowest of the scum of the society but the fact that they were also Hindus, ashames me. For those who till date believe that Sikhs ditributed Sweets, this movie is a slap in the face. Cause even if some did (which is reasonable based on the hurt incurred by them in past, especially during Opn BlueStar days) should they be burnt alive for that!!! I also liked the fact that this movie gives a reason why the "militants" did what they did (Maachis was anohter good movie that succeeded in this aspect) It separates the bad "terrorists" who were being directed by ISI (perhaps!!?) However in all fairness, though I am personally not a fan of Khalistan movement, I would agree with some of the comments that movie wrongfully depicts "Khlistanis" as thugs. I think the real Khalistanis were genuine in their cause. But how realistic and productive that cause was, can be a debate in itself and better understood after reading George Orwell's Animal Farm. I also liked the inclusion of a couple of Hindus in the Dashmesh team. Growing up in Punjab during those days, though almost all my friends were sikhs and we were always together, I always felt left out on politicl issues. So that was a good point in the script. I also liked that the movie subtly covered all aspects like the bus killings, labor killings, police killings in Punjab. Sikhs may not realize but these became the defining benchmarks and greatly affected the Hindu psyche in those days. These "high profile" killings still act as a moral neutralizer towards 84 riots in a lot of Hindu minds. So I think a real victory was achieved in this movie when they besides showing Delhi riots also showed that the bus killings etc were an act of ISI and bad "terrorists" and not the real militants. My mother who in those days after reading such news, would say stuff like "ena ne saanu v mar chudna hai", was crying through out the movie. She felt sorry for her thoughts in past and admitted that she was stupid and naive in the past; that how media etc succeeded in manipulating her and the likes. So I think that was the real victory of this movie. The real lesson in this movie is peace... that we Punjabis are one. We have different religion and that's all right. Even as a kid I preffered Kada-parshard to fullian anyday... :) (10/10)
