Country: Pakistan
Director: Shoaib Mansoor
Cast: Manzar Sehbai, Atif Aslam, Iman Ali, Mahira Khan & Humaima Malik.
It tells the story of Hakeem Sahab's ideology and his quest to have a son. Hakeem's wife gives birth to fourteen children, including seven daughters and a transgender son Saifi. Hakeem hates his family and the one he hates most is poor Saifi.
It's an inside look into the lives of a family living in Pakistan and showing the incredible fact of how they manages to survive day to day life. More than a story, it's about the family emotions that come to play during the tough times. Full credits go to the director, Shoiab to choose a controversial subject and asking an important question towards the end. The fact of Atif Aslam acting in the movie forces me to see this film in the first place and he performs one of his songs in the movie too. The character of Hakeem was offered to Naseeruddin Shah, unfortunately due to date issues he turns it down. Overall, it's a movie that actually challenges the system by breaking the so called old customs of living style.
Verdict: Great
