While I was watching the movie, I kept on saying that I can't wait to write a review on it. Seeing this gladdens my heart and I am happier that it came from a man otherwise they would have said the woman is a feminist. Thank you so much for this. May Allah honor you.

May Allah continue to make us better.

For what it's worth, you should pen your review.

Never let what naysayers spew silence your voice.

Oh my God.

I can't say thank you enough for capturing this beautifully. I remember being very angry when I watched this movie and you've done great justice.

One thing I would humbly request is how Bank religious grounding made it easy for her to ask for her right. She mentioned she's not westerly educated but when it comes to islamic education. She knows more. More women should study their religion. That alone gave Bano courage.

The onus is on every Muslim to seek the right knowledge and implement with justice.

May Allah make us better.

This is beautiful

Exactly! how do I fight for my rights given by islam without being a tool for foreign ideologies.

From you review it seems the movie didn't present Islam as the problem but the patriarchal interpretation NGL I'm surprised because I know Bollywood is a modern anti islam propaganda machine. I guess I would try the movie.

Great job anyways.

Personally, I don't watch movies but I decided to give it a try since it is based on a true life situation and surprisingly, it is a good watch.

The producers did a good job.
