Synopsis

Sardar Ka Grandson

Amreek resides in Los Angeles with his girlfriend Radha. Both run a movers and packers company called ‘Gently Gently’. Amreek has a laidback and carefree attitude and doesn't believe in owning up to his mistakes. This affects his work and also his relations with Radha. Fed up with his behaviour, Radha breaks up with him. Amreek is devastated. This is when his father, Gurkeerat aka Gurki calls him from his home in Amritsar. He tells Amreek that he should return immediately as his grandmother, Sardar Kaur, is sick. Sardar, aged 90, has a tumour. The doctors advise Gurki that they should take her home as operating on her at this age can prove fatal. Gurki realizes Sardar doesn't have much time but he hides this fact from Sardar. Sardar, meanwhile, has a wish. She wants to go to Lahore and visit the house that she built with her husband, late Gursher Singh in 1946. A year later, during Partition, Gursher was stabbed to death while fighting the rioters. Sardar however escaped and reached India. Since then, she has been missing Gursher and the house. Hence, it's her desire to visit Pakistan so that she could see her ancestral house. Sardar tells Amreek about it. Gurki advises Sardar that she can't travel in this condition. But Amreek realizes how much this means to her. He promises her that he'll help fulfil her wish. He tries to get her a visa. However, her application is rejected as she's blacklisted from visiting Pakistan.

The ‘dil-da’ connection between people who lived in pre-Partition Punjab pops up once again in ‘Sardar Ka Grandson’. Despite its frequent occurrence in the movies, this is a theme that never really gets old. And maybe shouldn’t, because heart-warming stories touching upon Indo-Pak pacifism can always bear repeating. But not if it is done in the dull, hackneyed manner that we see in this ‘dadi-pota’ love story, even if it is fronted by the always reliable Neena Gupta.
