A Family’s Suffocating Struggles
The Lahore-set story revolves around Hakeem Sayed Hasnat Khan (Manzar Sehbai), a traditionalist father of seven daughters, and his only son Saifi (Amr Kashmiri), who was born intersex.
Zainab (Humaima Malik), the eldest daughter, is a hardened survivor of abuse who now works to support the household.
The younger daughters – Ayesha, Sania, and Meena – struggle under the weight of their father’s religious fundamentalism and misogyny.
“Ye aurat jaat shararat ki khaan hoti hai,” Hakeem tells his wife, embodying the deep-rooted sexism that permeates their world.
Gender, Identity, and Oppression
Bol boldly examines gender discrimination in Pakistani society. Women are treated as commodities to be bartered off in marriage to the highest bidder.
Saifi’s identity as an intersex person invites scorn and abuse from Hakeem. In a heartbreaking scene, he laments, “Main is duniya mei

Film with a View
Watching Shoaib Mansoor’s film Bol is akin to having a discussion with an intelligent person who is a nervous wreck. A lot of what the person says is heart-wrenching and thoughtful, but he flits from topic to topic so quickly that you end up wishing he would stick to the point.
Bol will tug at your heart strings, possibly compel you to shed a tear or two and force you to launch into a debate about Islam and tradition with your next-door neighbour, the cab driver, your mom or whomever you bump into heading out of the cinema. But you will leave the theatre wishing the movie had been shorter and tighter, the feel good Zeynub’s Café ending had been clipped and that Mansoor hadn’t tried to stuff four years worth of research into a three-hour movie. The film had so many debates about Islam running through it that by the end of it you felt like you had watched two movies, maybe even three, for the price of one.
While Bol has a strong story and some unforgettable characters, the major disadvantage of this beautifully-shot film is that it fails to sit still on a single theme or storyline. The movie is all over the map, touching on a smorgasbord of situations with a scattershot approach that leaves you ravenous rather than contented.
