Kamli Movie Review
KHOOSAT films made its immediate impact with MANTO. Sarmad Salaman as a director proved himself as one of the promising director from Pakistan. After his debut of Manto, his 2nd movie ZINGAGI TAMASHA is still halted because of the sensitivity of the subject. However Sarmad cemented himself in a short time as a talented director from Pakistani film scene.
The 3rd movie KAMLI, is based on a niche subject. This is not a typical masala movie by any means. The movie is a story of Sakeena , Hina and Saqlain. Sakeena is sister of Saqlain and Saqlain is married to Hina. Saqlain is gone missing for years, while Sakeena and Hina believe that he will be back soon. In mean while Hina works for a painter and artist for her living. Sakeena is blind and she teaches the Quran Pak at home, to the village children. This is the basic plot of the movie for the rest watch this masterpiece on the silver screen.
As for acting is concerned the Movie stands out. Saba Qamar plays her role and have done justice to it. The movie belongs to Sania Saeed, playing the role of a blind women as Sakeena, Sania shines out as perhaps the best role of her career. Her sterling performance needs to be remembered for the years to come.
Sarmad Salman Direction is top notch. The director makes sure that the pot keeps on boiling at slow pace, piercing through the heart and soul of the movie goer till the end , raising some interesting questions like a puzzle at the end. Watch KAMLI - a tale of love, loss and cloaked secrets. You will surely not regret it.
