Jinnah

About This Movie

So, 'Jinnah' is quite an interesting piece. Directed by Jamil Dehlavi, it’s a deep dive into the life of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the man behind the creation of Pakistan. The film unfolds through a series of flashbacks, giving it this almost ethereal quality, as Jinnah's spirit seeks peace. The atmosphere is heavy with historical weight, especially as it juxtaposes Jinnah's aspirations for a separate nation against the backdrop of 1947's tumultuous political landscape. The pacing meanders a bit, but that adds to its reflective nature. Performances are solid, especially by Christopher Lee as Jinnah, lending a gravitas that really pulls you into the era. It’s more about the personal struggle and less about action, which can be a refreshing take in a war drama.

Strong performances, especially by Christopher Lee.Reflective pacing suits the subject matter.Unique approach to historical biography.
