This movie just like another Chandigarh kare aashique but made in Pakistan; a handsome Punjabi guy falls head over heels for a trans girl. I love this theme. It just opened up whole lot of sense that afflicts the society even as conservative society like that of Pakistan. Scenes of self erotic onamism is included along with other scenes that is mature and pg18. Issues like mental illness, LGBTQ, gerontophilia, dysphoria, superstition, conservatism and lot of such are highlighted throughout the movie. The movie is about a married Punjabi man living in Lahore, finds himself drooling over a trans girl, who is a dancer in the local theatre. The movie, not just leaves the audience in the state of fun-melancholy but furthermore leaves a spot of question mark over the sexual freedom in land of pure. And how eventually conservatism consumes the shackles of troublesome attitude over sexual compassion?
