On March 28, Indian theatres are all set to give a wholehearted welcome to the Pakistani film, Khuda Ke Liye, the first-ever Pakistani film to be released in India. The film, produced and directed by Shoaib Mansoor, has Pakistani stars Shaan and Imaan Ali in the lead roles. The film also stars Naseerudin Shah in a very pivotal role.
The film showcases the complex conditions of Pakistanis post 9/11. It highlights the cruel fact of the West being immensely suspicious about Muslims, while they themselves are split between fundamentalists and liberals. Naseerudin Shah, playing a role of a mullah (clergy), claims that the film is a must-watch for the masses and has been appreciated in Pakistan, London and Dubai. The film was also screened in the Goa film festival.
