His grandson is able to piece together bits and pieces from a pre-partition past as the old man drifts in and out of recollection, but struggles to find peace in his final days. The film attempts to understand the human impact long after the borders were drawn.Imtiaz celebrated his 55th birthday on Tuesday and his greatest birthday gift possibly is the response to the film. He said, "There is this feeling that what I wanted to say has been communicated... I have never seen an audience watching the film so quietly. In all of my successful films also, people have this habit of fidgeting here and there. This time, they're really paying attention, the younger people are paying attention. They are coming in such numbers and receiving the film so well."The director, famous for his take on relationships, is especially happy that the "intimacy and affection" central to the story have connected with the young. "I have said it many times that the present generation feel a little lost because they don't find sustaining love, something they can just hold in their hearts, that old-fashioned love, like old music. That longing, that yearning, that holding one person and being with that person, they are relating to that," Ali said.
