In this paper, I propose to deal with two films that directly engage with thepolitical negotiations that took place concerning the Partition of India and the cartographicviolence that ensued: Ken McMullen’s Partition (2007) and Gurinder Chadha’s Viceroy’sHouse (2017). The work compares the representations of the Partition in these two filmsto investigate whether the reparative or sentential aspect of cinema heal our memories orcompromise with the truth to connect with the audience.
