Lollywood Movie Bol (Speak)
This movie has raised quite a few eye brows because it tackles subjects which are considered taboo in Pakistan or Muslims societies
Here are few of the things the movie looks at
Taking responsibility for your actions in this case the action is child birth people having lots of children just for the sake of it and then not being ab;r to feed them as we believe that its “gods will” that you will have so and so number of sons and daughters
Pakistani are disappointed when there wife gives birth to girls
if there are 3 girls born one after the other then the man would marry another women thinking this wife may not be able to give birth to boys
in my view boys are given wealth and property to look after and pass on girls are not owned in the way boys are maybe its because the girl has to marry and go to someones else’s home?
It looks a little bit at believing in God one of lines in this movie is Agar khila nahin Sakta To Paida Kyoon Karte Ho in English it means if you cant feed them then why do you bring them into this world- now the question is is the director aiming this dialogue at God or us human beings? In my view it could be taken both ways
It also shows a male disabled child who wants to be just like his sisters he wants to dress up and wear the cloths his sisters wear
Everyone should watch this movie on DVD I'm sure it will have English subtitles so no excuse that we don't understand Urdu
Culture caste and Lollywood Pakistani Films
The caste system among Muslims
Sources indicate that the castes among Muslims developed as the result of close contact with Hindu culture and Hindu converts to Islam.
Religious scholar Yoginder Sikand elaborates that the caste system among Muslims was not due to the "influence of Hinduism among a previously 'pure', 'uncontaminated' Muslim community," but rather to "the continued impact of Hindu beliefs and customs on the converts who still remained within a largely Hindu cultural universe and retained many of its associated beliefs and practices"
Discriminations
In some parts of South Asia, the Muslims are divided as Ashrafs and Ajlafs.
Ashrafs claim a superior status derived from their foreign ancestry.
