DEAR JASSI | #DIFF2024 TRAILERS
India. 132 min.
Directed by Tarsem Singh Dhandwar
In 1996 Punjab, India, Canadian-born Jassi falls in love with Mithu, a rickshaw driver beneath her social status. Their attraction is pure and unconditional, but is it strong enough to fight the dictates imposed by family and society? They vow to stay together against all social and familial obstacles and the practical complications of treacherous lawyers and immigration officers. With his first film set in India, Tarsem Singh Dhandwar returns to the big screen to tell the shocking true-life tale of a young couple desperate to be together. This is a sobering tragedy of young lovers punished for their class differences .
