Sundri
the movie is the third movie by Vismaad Pvt Ltd, a Singapore based computer
animation company.
The
film is based on a novel by the same name - Sundri by the famous Punjabi
writer, Bhai Vir Singh (1872-1957).
Bhai
sahib was a poet, scholar and theologian and a major figure in the movement for
the revival and renewal of Punjabi literary tradition. His identification with
all the important concerns of modern Sikhism was so complete that he came to be
canonized as Bhai, the Brother of the Sikh Order, very early in his career.
This
movie is based on the first novel by Bhai Vir Singh and was written around
1898. It is set in the historical period of Mir Manu that is notorious for
large scale massacre of the Sikhs during the period 1748-1753.
Sundri
is a symbolic representative of that period and the daring nature of the Khalsa
people. The Mughal leadership was bent upon annihilating the Sikhs. The rulers
were corrupt and engaged in the systematic forced conversion of the non-Muslim
people. The management of the government was in the hands of Nawabs and bandit
who were grossly unfair, discriminatory, lustful and tyrannical.
The story in the novel depicts incidents and events which encouraged universal brotherhood and love for humanity. A Sikh girl treats an injured Mughal sepoy but on learning that she is a Sikh woman he attacks her with his dagger. Surasti, the original name of Sundri, was forcibly taken away by the Mughal official and left to the destiny by her own husband and father.
Sundri
depicts the story of the Sikh women during those hard times, where they
remained steadfast and composed, facing ordeals and hardships but still smiling
in the name of the Guru.
The
movie depicts the story of the Sikh women during the tyrannical times of Mir
Mannu who carried out large scale massacre of Sikhs.
Sundri
was a great Gursikh woman who remained steadfast and composed in face of
ordeals and hardships but still smiling in the name of the Guru.
The
movie "Sundri" came as a great inspiration and motivator for young
Sikh girls facing identity crisis in their schools and occupation. Many believe
Sundri having swayed a sea of young sikh women to wearing dastar.
In
attempt to transfer our stories to the next generation of Sikhs. the folks at
Vismaad have taken on the monumental challenge of bringing our Sikh heroes to
the big screen.
With
their previous productions, Sahibzadey, The Rise of Khalsa, and Sundri – The
Brave Kaur, they have single handedly created the genre of Sikh animation and
brought our history to life. While there have been lots of technical challenges
and limitations with the films, largely due to budget constraints, no one can
question the hard work, dedication and sacrifice of Sukhwinder Singh and his
team.
