role of Salman's father may not be a big
one but it's pivotal to the film and shapes
Salman's character and who he becomes
later. It was Salman who wanted Jackie
to play this powerful role. It starts in
1947 when the Partition takes place and
thousands of families are separated and
ends in 2000.
The movie is the journey of a country
and also a person, both of whom go by
the name of Bharat. Ode To My
Fatherbegins with the Hungnam
Evacuation in 1950 when many families
got separated in Korea and the father
tells his son Yoon Deok-soo, If I don't
come you are the head of the family that
means whatever happens you put the
family first. Now, that you are the head
of the family, look after them well.' Jackie
plays Salman's father and his words
remain with the young boy (Salman)
right till the end. They get separated
during the Partition in Bharat but his
father's words and desire to reunite
with him remains right till the end.
