Khuda Ke Liye, the first Pakistani film to be released in India after 43 years, can be described in these lines.
The film deals with Hussain, a British Muslim of Pakistani origin, who is appalled by the fact that his daughter (Iman Ali) is in love with a white Christian man. Ironic considering he is in a live-in relationship with a British woman.
He brings his daughter to Pakistan and forces her to marry a cousin, so that her offspring will remain Muslim.
The film is a bold attempt by director Shoaib Mansoor about the turmoil in the minds of Muslims about adjusting to the times, while still holding on to their Muslim identity that has been under attack post 9/11. Like, when an honest Pakistani citizen living in America is wrongly detained and how racial discrimination has crept into the American police force, post 9/11.
