Thu, September 11 2008
Mehta was in attendance with her whole cast, including Preity Zinta for the screening. Before the start of the film, she introduced the cast to the audience and said that the theme was dear to her heart.
Set in the Toronto suburb of Brampton, Heaven in Earth is the story of a Ludhiana girl Chand (Preity Zinta) who moves to Canada after marrying Rocky Grewal (Vansh Bhardwaj) only to find herself locked in a loveless marriage, and a life of beatings and torture by her husband and in-laws.
Chand’s journey into hell begins the moment the naïve girl lands in Canada (considered heaven in Punjab).
The awkwardness of their relationship is captured brilliantly, with the newly married couple not knowing how to consummate their relationship.
Her husband the begins a routine of daily beatings, aided by his mother.
