Sheen on AllMovie

A politically-oriented meditation on the residual effects of India's separatist movement (and the mass emigration of Pundits that transpired in the mid-1990s), Ashok Pandit's Sheen (AKA Snow) unfolds in violence-ridden Kashmir, where terrorist-fueled violence closes in on patriarch Pandit Amarnath (Raj Babbar) and his family. This circumstance is arguably direst for Pandit's beautiful daughter, Sheen (Sheen), forcibly separated from her longtime lover Manu (Traun Arora) via his own incarceration. Both feel stricken with horror to discover that the head terrorist is Shaukat (Anoop Soni), the couple's mutual friend since childhood. Confronted by terrorists who attempt to goad them into internment camps, Pandit and his family refuse to move from their house; the terrorists respond by murdering Pandit's beloved son. Driven to the point of no return, Pandit decides to travel to a conference on displaced persons in Geneva, in an effort to make the world aware of the crisis facing Kashmiri Pundits.
