The UK release was cut, cuts were required to remove detail of animal cruelty (in this instance shots of two quails fighting), in accordance with BBFC Guidelines, policy and the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937, in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut classification was not available.
Did the movie live up to the expectations/hype? YES!
To actually see a movie from Pakistan in which actors are talking and not yelling was a pleasant surprise but as the movie progressed it completely blew my mind off for being so real.
The problem with the industry is that no one wants to appreciate a good mainstream family movie – especially from people within the film fraternity. I could hear murmurs about art and intelligence, as soon as I ventured outside the screening. For these self-made connoisseurs of the medium, I only point to the deafening applause the film collected two or three times.
Rather than reading the reviews, you should be investing your time in watching this movie right away at the cinema.
