Pakistani film to release in India
After conquering the festival circuit, the critically acclaimed Pakistani film Khuda Kay Liye is all set to make history in India, as it will be the first Pakistani film to release after a span of 40 years in Indian theatres.
Khuda Kay Liye has been directed by Shoaib Mansoor, and has already won accolades at Cairo, Muscat, Italy, Dubai and London. Set in the post 9/11 era the film explores the dilemma faced by a progressive Pakistani Muslim who has to choose a life of fundamentalism on the one hand - and a suspicious western world on the other.
Released in July 2007 in Pakistan, Khuda Kay Liye is a rare independent Pakistani production for following a non-commercial issue-based subject. Actors Iman Ali and Rasheed Khan feel Khuda Kay Liye will surely work its magic in India.
