What is Khuda Kay Liye about?
The film is about the difficult situation in which the Pakistanis in particular and the Muslims in general are caught up since 9/11. There is a war going on between the Fundamentalists and the Liberal Muslims. This situation is creating a drift not only between the Western world and the Muslims, but also within the Muslims. The educated and modern Muslims are in a difficult situation because of their approach towards life and their western attire. They are criticized and harassed by the fundamentalists and on the other hand the Western world sees them as potential suspects of terrorism just because of their Muslim names.
Critics consensus: Shoaib Mansoor’s music-and-identity drama helped restart Pakistani theatrical cinema in the mid-2000s — the commercial revival that KaraFilm’s indie circuit fought to make possible. The film stars Shaan Shahid, Fawad Khan, Naseeruddin Shah, Iman Ali, Simi Raheal, and others.
