Pinjar was a sad movie... kidnapping of puro was scary... Rashid had some good traits and her life could have been worse if she were assigned to someone else.. that doesn't take away the fact that her kidnappers were criminals and parents heartless... I watched the movie long ago but her parents refusal to accept her still shakes me to the core... the only bright side of the whole thing is that puro manages to reunite her kidnapped bhabhi with her brother and asks him not to look down on his wife because she was kidnapped... her refusal to go back to her family in the end was practical given the times and outlook of the people
