The first and best words for BOL movie are brave and sincere. This film exposes the situation of women in PAKISTAN and of course which is not very different for our country INDIA. This movie also tells how Male dominated society’s wrong use of religion is going against women.
The plot is that a HAKEEM, whose wish to have a son doesn’t end up after having 7 daughters and finally he gets a son who is actually a ‘girl’ who look like a ‘boy’. One among these sisters ZAINUB is rebellious who has courage to speak against his father ‘HAKEEM’ acts, another one AYESHA loves her neighbour whose character is played by Atif Aslam. After this the movie shows the struggle of AYESHA for her love, ZUNAIB her mother and all the sisters against their father’s acts which led them to poverty and how the 8th ‘son’ struggles to get along with this world.
With the length of 2 hours and 25 minutes there is slow pace in the movie at some moments after interval that can make you feel tire but finally it all proves worth a wait till the climax. All the performances are remarkable especially of Humaima Malik( ZUNAIB) and her father Manzar Sehbai(HAKEEM).
This movie is another brave attempt from Shoaib Mansoor(the director of the ‘Khuda Ke Liye’). And he successfully delivers a message not just for Pakistani society but for Indian too. Watch it as soon as you can!
Rating: 8/10
