Movie Review: '31 October': Opens up wounds that never healed

Such characters and incidents belong more to a long-running Doordarshan serial than a feature film. Much of the drama is theatrical and the acting is plainly amateurish. But "31 October" is a film that must be seen more for what it tells us rather than how it says it, about a shameful chapter from Indian history. At the end we see the now-old Sikh couple, trapped in a web of frustration and rage, still waiting for justice.
