Your review of the movie Bol

An imperfect mix of all the central-ideas the writer wanted to touch upon in a single movie. The focus of the movie keeps shifting all along and makes you wonder what exactly is the theme. Secondly, no matter how much bold topics were chosen (may be to attract viewership by spreading controversy) I still believe there are somethings that must best be left unsaid. e.g. I'd never want to exclaim something like "Abba! Kash main (God Forbid) Khuda Hoti......." its absurd to say something like that. Shoaib Mansoor tries to portray the typical Subcontinental issues and pre-dominantly exploits the religious aspect of it rather than the social aspect which is portrayed in an undertone. But well its either masaala or the controversy that sells. So he is getting what he wants. But his skills as a Pakistan Film Director are exemplary.

So finally I decided to watch BOL, reason behind delay was 'continuous criticism'. but unfortunately It inspired me thus I decided to blog about it.
People labelled this movie as an accusation against Muslims, demographic aggression, and an entirely personal vision of Sohaib Mansoor which is about his private opinions and interpretations of the Islamic framework. Whenever I asked my friends about it, they were like its torturous, how can girls coming out of abhaya (veil) can be a right thing for Islamic society etc. But was that the only thing pointed in this movie? Why do we love criticizing instead of appreciating, only because its easy to agree with everyone?
For me BOL was complete eye opener. It was the BOLDEST movie I have seen so far in which those topics were discussed openly which anyone will hesitate to talk about, like women's emancipation, poverty, homosexuality,love for music, confilict between sects and bit about laicism(political system). The most important point was of using 'religion' as a tool to fulfill one's self interest. Religion is not to limit your thinking and making people hopeless rather it gives you a better understanding of opportunities to make life of others easy. Allah (swt) no where encouraged us to hide somewhere in black Abhaya (veil), He advised us to cover ourselves and maintain modesty. Don't let the complexity of your circumstances become a struggle of life and death, instead use Islam as a guide to make your life easy.
The message that this film delivers is urgent, heartfelt and very important to be spread in uneducated families.
I admit it was not easy for me to watch and I had to skip few things but still I will recommend you guys to at least watch it once to get the awareness of those prevailing issues in our society which we can never think of.
