“Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still
modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating
a nation-state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three.” – Stanley Wolpert,

Jinnah - The Movie is in essence a glowing tribute to a man who hasn't
only left behind him a legacy, a nation of devouts, but is also revered
by an age as one of the greatest statesmen in the history of mankind.
The story of a man, whose unflinching resolve and single minded
devotion, resulted in the creation of a homeland for the Muslims of
the sub-continent.
The film revolves around the man who was a young idealist, a passionate
human being, a distinguished lawyer, a father and the
sheer embodiment of strength and character with an indomitable will.
Working in English, director Jamil Dehlavi and his co-writer Akbar
Ahmed, renowned Cambridge University Islamic scholar, create a
sweeping historical epic. The story of Jinnah, a patrician Muslim
barrister, connects with any minority leader whose people are
locked in a struggle for equality. It's an epic tale of a man confronted
with many hard choices ultimately leading to decisions that
would exact an enormous toll in the name of freedom and independence.
