Bol

"Based in the heart of Lahore, the story takes place in a house of daughters, teeming with the vibrancy of life but restricted to bloom. It is the story of a girl who challenges the mind set that closes all doors of light on women of the house and considers them nothing more than a machine that produces children. "Bol" is a roller-coaster of emotions. It questions the worth of a human being, be it a woman or a person born with a birth defect. It questions the authority of reproducing human beings into this world without taking responsibility of acknowledging their worth."..--back container

  • "Zainub Khan has been found guilty by Pakistan's Courts and is to be hanged. Her last wish is to tell her story before the media, and after approval, she relates how her family was compelled to leave Delhi during 1948 and re-locate to Lahore. This is where her father, Hakim Sayed Hashmutallah Khan, married Suraiya, and hoping to sire a son, instead ended up with 7 daughters. The 8th child turned out to be a hermaphrodite and Hashmutullah wanted it dead but Suraiya insisted that she will not let anyone know so as not to shame her husband. They named the child Saifullah, and hired a tutor to teach him at home. After a failed marriage, Zainub returns home, notices that the tutor was molesting her brother and asks him to leave. With dwindling income from his father, unable to attend school, his mother giving birth to still-born babies, his siblings uneducated, Saifullah is then himself compelled to seek employment. It is here he will be sexually molested and subsequently killed by his father, who bribes the police by embezzling Rs.2 Lakhs from the Masjid where he presides as a Khajanchi. In order to return the money to the Masjid, he starts to tutor children of prostitutes with the help of Saqa Kanjar. When their neighbor's son, Mustafa, proposes marriage for his daughter, Ayesha, he refuses, as they are Shiah, and plans to marry her to a much older male. Things will change rapidly when Saqa will make a proposition that will change everyone's lives forever. (rAjOo, IMDb) ; en."
  • "'Bol' shows a family that can barely make ends meet. The story takes place in a house full of daughters living in the heart of Lahore, vibrant with life, but with restrictions on their blooming imposed by their father who subscribes to a set of values that embody contradictions, values that have not been questioned. 'Bol' questions these values. Humaima Malick plays a daughter who gets affected the most by the tensions within the family. She respects the norms she has been given by her parents yet is compelled to rebel due to her intuitive logic and sense of justice."
