Qaid: No Wayyy Out

I must say filmmaker is commendable the way reality is presented. A very important and brave message to share. This is very true and everyone must watch it once. There is still a huge stigma attached to males reporting abuse whatever their sexual orientation is. Not only an amazing production but a very well thought concept. If only all films were like this. Impressive to say the least. It also proves that a good story doesn't really need a big cast. The story itself keeps you on the edge and you makes you keep wonder what's next. Some scenes are so relatable and I have seen them around. Writer has done a good research. The songs are so soothing. Well done to the makers. A must watch film.

Qaid presents a very unique perspective on domestic violence and shows how men can be victim too. Mohinder and Tai Khan with their performances portrayed their characters beautifully. The movie may feel slow at the beginning but what a turn it takes! Kudos to the makers for choosing such a bold and unique perspective on domestic violence. Sonia W Kohli in her directorial debut did an excellent job. The movie is well-written by her too. The film will keep you hooked till the climax. The background score and songs go well with the film.

Not only direction and writing, but the movie also excels in terms of performance. The viewers will witness two very new but refined actors at their best.

Other actors played their part brilliantly and managed to leave an impact as well.

Direction 5/5 Acting 5/5 Music 5/5 Story 5/5.

Qaid is a spine chilling movie and an absolute eye opener. Ofcourse I have seen and heard domestic violence in my life. Wives getting bitten up by husbands and what not but I never ever thought a man can suffer the same way.

Jigar leaving his country in attempt of a better life but one can not even imagine that he would face the same brutality that his mother has been suffering all her life. The only difference is his culprit is his own boyfriend Mihir.

Where Mohinder Kohli has played Jigar's part miraculously, Tai Khan's performance will make audience hate Mihir it's that powerful. The story's past and present run in parallel making the story even more engaging and generates curiosity.

Overall the way story shows domestic violence is spine chilling.

Highly recommended.

The trailer said inspired by true events and guess what it really is. When I began i wasnt aware that the movie is going to be so heart wrenching. The story educates one of the atrocities that can happen to a gay person. The movie has been superbly directed and the role of Jigar is amazingly played by Mohinder who suffers in silence and that is the truth in our society. Wether women or men the film shows that the suffering is the same, the domestic violence pattern is same. Role of Mihir who plays the abuser, is perfectly played by Tai khan and his acting is so believable. Other actors in the film also have perfect placement and have done their part just right. I am just not used to 2 and half hour long movie but still the actors and the director, all nailed it. Kudos to them.

I would highly recommend the movie.

I don't review movies much but I couldn't resist this one. I watched this in a festival and i wish the rating had more than 10 stars and a bow down emoji. What a unique concept I must say! I was surprised that no one has spoken about this subject till now. And someone that to a woman took the courage to make a film on this such a bold topic. Hats off!! Not that the story is only relevant to gay community but being a gay myself I can relate to the struggles of people from this community. I have seen and heard so many stories about people who suffers from domestic violence in silence and this story perfectly stitches the physiological trauma and the patterns of DV. It's a gripping story and keeps you on the edge. And the songs Oh my god! Although my favourite is 'Mainu Mere Jeha' , I often grove some moves on 'Teri Meri Zindari' with friends. Performance by actors Tai Khan and Mohinder deserve a standing ovation to be honest. Even the supporting cast has done their part brilliantly. Overall this film is full of emotions and definitely not for faint hearts. I can't wait for this it to be available on digital platforms so that i can show it in my circle. A must watch film!!
