Yaar gissa pitta topic hai

Abb kaun sa zamana hai key women are abused.
Abb tho becharai mian abused hotai hai.
Re: Preity Zinta in Heaven On Earth!
I saw the movie on youtube.its in 12 parts and the first 2 are missing there.
its a depressing topic but Preity has done good work.
The movie is without subtitles and their Punjabi is very hard to understand at times,which resulted in me not getting lots of dialogues...:(

Re: Preity Zinta in Heaven On Earth!

Re: Preity Zinta in Heaven On Earth!

Re: Preity Zinta in Heaven On Earth!
Is this the same sort of story as the Aishwarya film that was based in UK? Girl from India, abused by husband, then she killed him kinda deal? I think it was based on a true story 
that was based on some true story.
This one is based on some myth I guess about the snake thing.I did not understand that bit it was without subtitles.
the similarity between both movies was a girl going abroad from India,arranged marriage and domestic abuse.
that aish film was called provoked and yeah that was based on a true story…i dont know if this is based on a true story…
Re: Preity Zinta in Heaven On Earth!

Heaven on Earth
In Heaven on Earth, acclaimed director Deepa Mehta highlights the isolation and disappointment faced by a family of Punjabi immigrants to Canada.
When Chand (played by Bollywood superstar Preity Zinta) arrives in Brampton, Ontario to meet her new husband, she leaves behind a loving family and supportive community. Now, in a new country, she finds herself living in a modest suburban home with seven other people and two part-time tenants. Inside the home, she is at the mercy of her husband’s temper, and her mother-in-law’s controlling behaviour.
