Extremely saddening to watch the plight of Saba, with nobody guiding her towards realizing and fighting for her rights, even towards the end of the documentary. This story reinstates that some societies have devolved with time and become devilish. The statements of her father threatening to kill her and her husband should have been sufficient evidence to keep him locked behind bars for years. The lack of remorse in the father is appalling. I wished the makers of the film intervened and made Saba change her mind, but unfortunately, the perpetrators are set free to commit more crimes in the name of honor.

A must-watch movie that grinds together the concepts of male chauvinism & egocentrism, gender-based prejudices, sexual violence & improper parenting. Exceptional performance from Vishal Jethwa to the extent that his presence makes you cringe.

Enjoyed the delicate emotions unfurling throughout the movie, which is a fitting ode to the man it is based on. The exaggeration in plot is gripping and can almost be forgiven, given the nuanced acting that adds touches of realism. The emphasis on the sacrifice of family members of army personnel is quite unique and noteworthy. A great watch!
