There are parts of both reviews with which I agree, but I must identify more with the Wallia review as I did not really care for the film. I did appreciate Wallia's historical detail, but did get the feeling that Wallia had a personal agenda for writing in this fashion.
Ansari is correct that this film is a dispassionate account of the partition that neither spares nor condemns any group involved. I also agree with Ansari's assessment of the film as having a "voyeuristic quality". I did feel as though I was peering through keyholes into private moments.
After viewing this film and reading these reviews, I am very interested in reading Cracking India.
