The Batwara 1947 trailer shows that the film is set during the Partition of India in 1947 and follows a family whose lives are upended by the violence and displacement that accompanied the country’s division. Sunny Deol plays a man who chooses humanity over religious divisions, protecting Shabana Azmi‘s character, a Hindu woman, amid the chaos. Through the powerful message that “a mother is every person’s first religion,” the trailer emphasises compassion, unity and sacrifice over hatred.
