a milestone for omani cinema!

I went to watch this film alone, wasn't expecting much in the beginning but came out truly surprised and amused by what I watched, I was blown away with what Omanis were able to achieve, well of course it's a joint production with India but still not bad, hopefully this sets a platform for more Omani feature films (and perhaps mostly shot in Oman); it's not a film I recommend for families or couples seeking a fun film to watch together, the film's plotline is not for everybody.

Better than I was expecting

Friends choice and they picked this movie. It was great! We laughed, cried, and smiled all throughout the film. I'm always hesitant to watch these types of movies because of it feeling cheesy or forced but it didn't at all! Really enjoyed it.

Different kind of Omani film?

Although it is not completely shot in Oman but the film is something new, different than usual Omani dramas, I'm not sure whether this is the very first collaboration between Oman and India as it is being advertised but the the story unfolds is unusual for Arabic films and a breath of fresh air. The movie basically points out several women issues that exist in Oman and the culture of silence that is common among middle eastern women and other conservative societies.

This Film Is Not Meant For Public Consumption

I noticed several symbolism in the film and I liked it, there are themes of fall from grace, rebirth, soul searching, lust and others, but I would suggest to the film distributor to stick to film festivals instead of showing it for at public cinemas, in my opinion the way the film is made is not meant for the general masses people.
