The Indian partition of 1947 and its fall out haunt both the countries and communities to this date. Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya….. is both an emotional story from those times as well as a strong comment on the then prevalent socio-political scene today. Sikandar Mirza migrates to Pakistan , and is allotted a Haweli by the custodian in Lahore. He and his family are shocked to find the old Hindu landlady – Ratan ki Maa - still in the house, who didn’t leave for India like many others did. A victim of hate, violence and tragedy, she had lost everything but not the ability to give love and affection. The story charts the relationship of Ratan ki Maa with the Mirza family at one level.
