Which among the following film is NOT based on 'Partition'?

Mother India

The correct answer is Option (4) → Mother India

"Mother India" is NOT based on the Partition. It is an epic Indian film directed by Mehboob Khan and is primarily a melodrama that focuses on the life of a rural woman in India. It does not revolve around the theme of the Partition.

The other three films - "Garam Hawa", "Tamas", and "Meghe Dhaka Tara" - are indeed based on or related to the Partition of India.
