Kamli

Kamli was really an experience and the type that lingers on long after you have left the theatre. At first, it might seem like a film with a slow pace but the last 30 mins of the film truly got the people in the theatre. The movie proceeds with an impressive narration and powerful storyline. It is "BOLD" but the topic really needed to be talked about in this way.

Of course, this is now for sure that Saba Qamar never disappoints and the same goes with Sarmaad Khoosat, feels like they are emotionally connected with their scripts.

The music was beautiful and so was the cinematography. This film was not about dialogues but more about emotions which the actors conveyed in the best possible way. This is now called QUALITY CONTENT and should be appreciated!

So, finally, something's worth watching from Pakistani cinema after a long time.

Sarmad once again proved himself I mean how good he was like those beautiful concepts of Water, Fire & Wind gorgeous, and of course, how can I forget, those beautiful eyes of saba saying a lot about her dedication. Saniya's versatility has all my heart.

Hamza, Nimra & Others did a great job too.

The music was no less than anything all the songs were written & sung beautifully for this concept.

I've very rarely seen this type of artistic/experimental cinema being made in Pakistan. If someone tries to make it either got banned or else it gets flopped. But thanks to Sarmad for his dedication to his work Making Pakistan proud Internationally. Looking forward to Zindagi Tamasha too.

Kamli surpassed all my expectations and the way it ends, uffff! It is intense, bold, haunting, exhilarating and even painful at times yet the most beautiful thing happened to Urdu Cinema.

Human frailties have many dimensions but when the source of these frailties is a woman who is on verge of mental illness then one can expect anything whether hallucination or encountering a paranormal. With his latest cinematic "mystifier" "Kamli" "Sarmad Sultan" is challenging common denominators with words that I'm not being easy to define my content rather I'm letting you to wonder about it.

Main lead "Saba Qamar" as "Hina" performs her assigned role with challenging requirements from the director in which she had to perform with more demeanor and expression but with lesser dialogues. And she performs with stupendous courage in an environment in which societal values are sensitive though caring of thin lines between societal values and arts is all up to director's awareness but still her portrayal as "Hina" is outstanding.

Debutante "Hamza Khuwaja" does not disappoint. Facing power house of talent like "Saba Qamar" in his first celluloid experience is not easy but he acted skillfully. His character as mysterious "Amaltas" dwindle us. As "Amaltas", is he an actual human being or some sort of paranormal creature like "Chalawa" who is alluring a woman who may be affected by some sort of mental illness because of absence of her long gone husband?

Portrayal of "Sania Saeed" as "Sakina" the blind elder sister of Hina's husband should be applauded massively. Her firm commitment to protect her "Bhabi" becomes tedious and grim even against tenants of Islam she strictly follows. But same time she has the full realizations that "Hina" is only person of her family she has. Her confrontation with "Saba Qamar" in penultimate stage uncovers big secret but again flow of tale leads to other mystery. "Nimra Buccha" plays a fragile character as "Zeenat" who is confronting her own frailty of child-less woman and finds her emancipation in "Hina" but in the end her character becomes as mysterious as "Amaltas".

Cinematography of "Kamili" is excellent but the full brownie points must be given to music directors of "Kamli" "Saad Sultan" and "Izzat Majeed". Their music compliments every frame and makes every shot eye candy and soothing to ears as well.

By and large "Kamli" is the best cinematic offering director like "Sarmad Khoosat" can give to Pakistani film industry.

Awesome film. Cannot describe in words how beautiful and realistic film it is. Nice direction and acting by everyone. Desreved to be hit.........................
