Curtains opens with a shot of an endless lake and a woman in white, floats in a red boat across the water like an angle.
One wont understand this until the end, when see it again.
Set in the rural mountains of northern Pakistan where tribal rules govern everything and practice of child brides is still in effect.
This movie captures several aspects of person esp girls life; her dreams, while living in a tribal area with limited exposure to surroundings, friends that can be cpunted of fingertips and then mother, who is the primary love and companion of a daughter and can live upto any extent in order to save her child from any upcoming.
Two totally different kind of Males, First one; traditionally who are the ruler of the family and deals with the issues according to their own mind, can give verdict of a womens life without consent and treat them as a property. Second one, who himself have been through alot in his life, gaveup war because of love and ready to sacrifice his own life and freedom in order to help someone in need of the hour.
Samiya Mumtaz as Allah Rakhi has accepted her existence as a wife in a traditional world where she has no rights. Then her innocent daughter Zainab who is just a 10 year old child and is in 5th grade, plays happily in home and dreams of marrying a prince; is promised in marriage to the head of a rival tribe as a peace offering. She takes her daughter and runs. Mohib Mirza as Sohail who is a truck driver, with limited resources helps them escape and provides them a shelter.
The cast has brilliantly performed there specified characters.
The cinematography, landscapes and mesmerizing views of our Northern Pakistan and there lifestyle and then crowded lively streets of Lahore, every scenes captures an essence which is difficult to explain in words.
The film offers an open ending which might be difficult for many viewer to swallow, the fate of the girl is undescribed, you can imagine what can happen furture according to your own mindset and hope that ALLAH will be his best to ease life for Zainab.
Frankly according to me there is nothing bad in traditional tribal life style, but when it comes to gender divisions; a women must and should have the liberty to choose her dreams, what she wants to do with her life, it includes from her education, intellect, school of thoughts to selection of spouse and life after marriage, keeping in mind certain barriers which are given to us from our religion, and these barriers are for both men and women.
I simply loved this movies and its my humble request to everyone; as our industry is rising from the ashes, please watch the movie and support.
