Paradeshi
Oct 24, 2007
Paradeshi is a hauntingly powerful tale that sheds light on the plight of Valiyakathu Moosa, a man caught in the devastating aftermath of the partition. Moosa, born in India and raised in Pakistan, finds himself rendered stateless after returning to his homeland. Stripped of his identity by bureaucratic indifference, he spends his life navigating the brutal realities of displacement and alienation. The film poignantly portrays Moosa’s struggle to prove his Indian roots while highlighting the emotional and psychological toll of being treated as a foreigner in one’s own land. With its evocative narrative and deeply moving performances, Paradeshi is a stirring exploration of identity, belonging, and the human cost of political division.
