Synopsis:
Bol is Shoaib Mansoor's second dramatic
breakthrough of revealing life with its complexities. After ‘Khuda Kay Liye‘, that went on to win several international awards, ‘Bol’ is another gripping story authored by him. A story that shows barely make ends meet. On top of the poverty the father subscribes to a set of values that embody contradictions, values that have not been questioned.
‘Bol’ is a roller coaster of emotions, yet carries subtleties that make your heartbeat stop. Based in the heart of Lahore, the story takes place in a house full of daughters, with vibrancy of life, yet restrictions on blooming. It questions the worth of a human being, may it be a woman or a person born with a birth defect. It questions the authority of reproducing human beings into this world without taking responsibility of acknowledging their worth.
Bol’ takes you through a journey into the life of this family experiencing their troubles, sufferings, resolves and high points. As family members take decision to solve their problems they step into deeper troubles. The complexity of their circumstances becomes a struggle of life and death.
Humaima Malick, after gaining popularity on the small in the recent years has been picked for the big screen for the first time. She plays a daughter who gets affected the most by the family tensions. She respects the norms she has been given by her parents yet is compelled by her intuitive logic and sense of justice to rebel.
Atif Aslam plays an enlightened neighbor, and with his two loves, one for music and the other for the next door beauty, Mahira Khan, adds romance and melody to the film.
Iman Ali will be seen in a very different role than her usual appearances. A courtesan who is ambivalent between the standards of success her family considers so important and the desires of her own heart.
