Circus of Life

It's a truly remarkable film that takes a bold look at the complexities of society. The movie presents a heartfelt narrative that reveals the hidden truths and double standards prevalent in our world. Through its captivating storytelling, the film dives into themes of judgment, hypocrisy, and the misuse of religion.

Sarmad Khoosat's directorial finesse is evident in every frame. He didn't disappoint me, and my love for his direction and acting has increased. The movie doesn't just tell a story; it raises thought-provoking questions about our society's values and behaviors. It was an emotional rollercoaster and I felt the pain of the main character.

A must watch for everyone, don't know who are the idiots who banned it.

Just watched it after they released it for free on youtube.

The pace of the movie is rather slow but the acting from the leading characters is very good.

There aren't any dialogues or lines in the movie that stand out (comparing to other hit Pakistani movies like Bol/Khuda Kay Liye) but some scenes are very powerful. I really liked the scenes involving the hypocrisy of the clergy.

The soundtrack is nice as well.

Some, especially the international audience, might find the story slow or boring and might not really understand the subtleties of the topics in the movie, but it is quite relevant to the Pakistani society.

It's a good effort by everyone involved.

It's a Masterpiece. Can't wait to wait it. Everyone needed to watch this movie. It's on another level. It is a beginning of a great era for Lollywood.

With another powerful story by the one & only Sarmad Khoosat, we see another Film based on the Exploitation of the Religion in the country and how it effects the norm. The characters were made alive by Arif Hassan & the all famous Samiya Mumtaz. With the release we see the same political problems we have always dealt with before. Before watching this, I had only seen clips of the movie but the whole watch on YouTube just made me appreciate the craft even more. The powerful & intense moments reallt hit the heart and mind in moments unnoticed. We see the typical Khoosat style in this film with long shots & realistic settings. Although the movie conveys a clear message of exploitation and effects of society on a person, I can't help but feel this is just a hint of something more complete yet to come. But talking about the Technical aspect which my analytical brain couldn't help but see, the edits especially the SFX seemed a bit choppy & repetitive considering this was being made for Cienema release. All in all, would have loved to watch it on the biggest possible sceen but the art still lives on. More power to you Sarmad Khoosat!

Kudos to creative team for dealing with subject of masculinity, patriarchy and religious orthodoxy in one go. Personal is political!

Characters i liked- Rahat had a stoic presence in the way he dealt with the mayhem around him. He was just being human and enjoying his little delights. Alas! Society thinks otherwise Son In Law - Such a sweetheart. Mediator between daughter and father. Supported the family without any judgment throughout. World needs more men like this

Being from a neighbouring country, could relate to each and every nuance portrayed in the movie.

Breach of privacy and memefication of someone's personal moments, that's how our society is behaving. Mercilessly, creating stir in one's life.

Appreciate the way LGBTQ community is showcased in many Pakistani dramas. Quite sensitive.

Overall, a must, is you want to watch drama without theatrics!
