Pakistani flick ‘Baaji’ heads to Vancouver’s South Asian film festival

LAHORE: Baaji, a break-out hit from Pakistan’s cinema offerings, is continuing it’s successful run by heading to the Vancouver International South Asian Film Festival on November 16.
Baaji has already played at a number of international film festivals including DC South Asian Film Festival and Canada’s Mosaic International South Asian Film Festival, the latter of which bagged a Grand Jury Prize win and nominations for the cast.
The film was showered with generally positive reviews opting to forego traditional storylines and build a meta story where much of the content about Meera’s character was inspired from Meera’s own life.
The latest feather in the film’s cap was announced on the film’s official Instagram page.
Saqib Malik’s drama-thriller starring Meera, Amna Ilyas and Osman Khalid Butt was released in June this year to critical acclaim and commercial success, the film went on to make over PKR 11 crore. The story takes place in the dying days of Lollywood, mirroring the fading career of star Meera (played by Meera) trying to stage a phenomenal comeback with the help of her new friendship with a sharp and resourceful Neha (played by Ilyas) and the cunning Rohail Khan, (played by Butt.)
