Guys, who is not able to access this video? Include your country name in the reply -- Hassan

The fall of Dhaka was our fault. We tormented a huge population because of their ethnicity for almost 24 years. we were filled with the superiority complex, which we had because of us(Punjabis and pakhtoons) being the martial race. West Pakistan's GDP per capita increased from 1947 to 1971, while our east Pakistani counterparts became poorer that too when joot that was produced in east Pakistan accounted for more than 50% of our exports. I believe it is the right time for us to apologise for persecuting Bengalis.

This is where it’s so obvious how genuine and unbiased Aamna is . She is aware of the huge fan following of Sajal and bilal but gives her review with total honesty. Hassan was also refreshingly honest about his initial lack of interest due to subject matter. These are the type of critics we need. Not doing it to appeal to the masses. You can agree or disagree but they give their review as they see fit.

I m not a Hindu Amna but ur views about chai and beef jokes won my heart. Your sensitivity towards minorities in Pak is worth applaud. Yes anti nation movies may not serve any purpose in today's times

No matter what a Pakistani film will never accept that Pakistan was somehow responsible for whatever happened, blaming another country is always easier.

I watched KKM last Saturday. As you said, there were certainly some flaws but overall I found it pretty entertaining as well. It was good.

Hassan I totally agree with Amna. Our Bangoli brothers and sisters haven’t forgot what had happened to them. I’m an international student- obviously Pakistani studying in London. I have so many fellow students who are Bangoli here - mostly are residents and some came to study like me. They were very nice and helpful initially as I wear hijab and most of them too but the moment they came to know that I’m Pakistani they showed me really cold behaviour. They not even pass me smile. This generation is post Dhaka fall but their restraint behaviour means that their parents engraved the pain they went through so much in their minds that look upon us in disgust.

This was such a bold review on part of Amna. The sheer portrayal of the genocide of Bengalis , especially the rapes of women, the butchery of Bengali students and intellectuals and the ethnic cleansing of Hindus was literally whitewashed and non existent in the movie. The people who suffered the most were a Bengali population in a Bengali land by Pakistani occupiers who had no respect for the Bengali race, its culture and language. How can a 1971 movie about the war be made without the war crimes of the Pak army? Also, the 'FALL' of Dhaka is extremely derogatory for an independent nation that centres 16th December as its most penultimate patriotic day of the national calendar- the Victory Day.

You don't have to be sorry about it Aamna. We expect honest and unbiased reviews from you people and thats what you did.

being a Bangladeshi i studied in karachi university in 1990s and realized then how ignorant the post 1971 generation in pakistan is. i do agree that there is a strong feeling among us against the pakistani atrocities done during the 9 month long war. time is ripe for pakistanis to realize how n why East pakistan felt to get away from the country they fought for in 1965.

As a bangladeshi, i was interested to watch this movie just to see how a pakistani movie portrayed 'liberation war 1971' and as a fan of bilal and sajal may be i was more interested to watch it. But, Thanks for your review which has genuinely point out the facts and flaws of the movie. Since i didn't watch it, i couldn't comment on it. But from your review i have got a clear vision about the film. First of all, Aamna, love from the core of my heart for accepting the fact of war crime. See, we Bangladeshis don't want to hate anyone, but when we see that most of the Pakistanis don't know much about 1971 and they try to defend their country from a patriotic point of view, it hurts. Coz nobody accepts the fact happened at that time. If i agree with this movie plot that india had an influence behind Dhaka fall, how can people justify the genocide occurred by Pakistani Army for long 9 months ? The brutality which had been taken place cannot be undone. The war was forced on us. We didn't asked for war. We had asked for equal rights. We had fought back when we didn't had any choice. We had to defend ourselves. In this 09 months, Pakistani army had brutally killed 30 lakh people and raped 02 lakh women and child. We were in a same country, right? Then how can anyone justify the heinous actions done by Pakistani army?i am sure indians didn't forced them to do this kind of brutality. It has been 50 years, pakistani govt never officially apologize for this war crime and they don't even want to discuss about it. Also pakistani govt didn't take any actions against the people who were responsible for the war crime. Without any proper apology, how can we move forward? The generation who had suffered at that time and as a new generation related to those people we are also carrying the pain in our heart. *One last question, How can I hug you when I know my brother's blood is on your shirt?* For more references you can watch the documentary mentioned below. It is specifically for hassan, since you wanted to do a bit research on it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m697ktCakrmuhGg.html

As a Bangladeshi we grow up reading about independence. If the people who are illiterate are aware of it. It's a deeply rooted subject of our patriotism.we see and know people who were martyrs or injured.you can't white wash it. It started from basic rights like dancing, singing,no education,no high rank jobs, to changing our mother tongue, killing people( non Muslim, kids men women), raping kids and women. My grandfather suffered from it. It's still feels unreal how he survived during that time. There are many documentaries and biographies written about it. It's impossible to sleep even after days of reading one. 1971 was didn't just happened. It was a build up from 1950s

As an Indian, I highly appreciate your nuanced understanding of not just Pakistani but also Indian film industry. I was very hesitant about clicking this video but I’m glad to have seen it. If nothing else, then this video will make me want to read more about Bangladesh’s creation. Thanks for the renewed interest!

آمنہ اتنا آسان نہیں ہے جانا۔۔۔ میں خود بہاری کمیونٹی سے ہوں میرے ابو کے ایک بھائی جو بنگلہ دیش میں رہ گئے تھے آپس میں پھر دوبارا نہیں مل سکیں سب کچھ چھوڑ کر آکر دوبارا بسنے میں معاشی طور پر اس قابل ہی نہیں ہوسکے تھے کے خط و کتابت کرسکتے اور میرے والد صاحب کا انتقال 2005 میں ہوگیا تھا۔۔۔ اور جو لوگ کیمپ میں رہتے ہیں وہ بہاری کمیونٹی کے وہ لوگ ہیں جو بنگلہ دیش کو قبول کرنے سے انکاری ہیں وہ پاکستانی خود کو مانتے ہیں اور پاکستان ان کو قبول کرنے سے انکاری ہے۔۔۔ ہمارے پاکستان میں افغانستان کے لوگوں کے لئے تو دل اور جگہ ہے لیکن ہماری ان بہاری کمیونٹی کے لوگوں کے لئے زمین تنگ ہے جو پاکستان کے لئے قربانی دیتے آئے ہیں۔۔۔ مشرف کے دور میں ایک چھوٹی سی امید اور کوشش کی گئی تھی لیکن اس پر ہمارے پاکستان والوں نے جو ردعمل دیا 🤐

Wow I'm surprised at how hateful the comments are right here! Please don't tell me this is constructive criticism, it's bashing. Pointing fingers at their integrity, just because they have an opinion is really not cool! More power our Haute Squad Captains!!

The review was excellent. Amna you are never scared to speak the truth even though it wasn't in support of your own country. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ❤.

Everything aside but I just wanna appreciate Bilal Abbas...he is a true superstar, usually people say that TV actors look boring on the big screen but he proved them wrong. He was so catchy and over shadowed everyone...even his dancing skills were perfect, seeing him on the big screen was the best thing!!

Can I just appreciate aamna and Hassan for condemning agenda based movie, I heard aamna saying she don't Bollywood like movie which are agenda based and so here take with Pakistani agenda movies we same, such a unbiased critic, just loved the authenticity and talking about minority and mockery issue of the film

At the end of the day, its a Pakistani film and they will surely portray themselves as innocent and dudh ka dhula despite the massacre and casualties they have done.(killing 30 lakhs people is no joke) It was completely stupid of me to think that they will present the true story.. #dhakafall

As a Bangladeshi I would say.. many of us blame the people (from that generation) who were responsible for the Genocide and the war crimes, but we cannot blame the people who were not involved and were not even born at that time. There is an invisible connection that some of us feel exists when it comes to India and Pakistan (again, many people will disagree with this!). Pakistani cricket, dramas, clothings, food are liked by many of us. One cannot put Bangladeshis in one box and say ‘all Bangladeshis hate Pakistanis’! We know, Bangladeshis are also not seen in good light by many Pakistanis. Thanks to all the politicians and people of power for bending facts all the time in these regions and for sowing hatred against each other!

If this movie had showed all the harsh truth, then it would have never got censorship.

I love war movies, "1917", "Dunkirk", "The wind that shakes the barley", "Saving private ryan" but I feel our countries makes these war movies to prove a point to each other rather then showing the effects of the war and how deadly it is. We try to preach too much without showing what actually happened and that's a flaw in my eye.

I want to see this kind of review on HKKST. it’s ok to be a bit harsher regardless of the actors in a play or movie. I love the fact that you guys didn’t care that it was Sajal and Bilal and actually pointed out what was disappointing about KKM. Yes there are highlights of every drama and movie that we should point out to encourage people to continue the great work. It even convinces the audience to watch something they might have avoided before. But it’s equally important to point out the negatives so filmmakers and drama makers know what the audience and critics want. Granted, our actors and actresses give some of the most impressive performances I’ve ever seen. And I think most people do know this. I think it’s pleasantly surprising that I can name more talented actors and actresses in Pakistan than in any other country. This is probably because, regardless of the story or the quality, our a listers always give an amazing performance that makes me genuinely happy. Just look at Ayeza, Sajal, Yumna, Saba, Ahmed Ali, Bilal abbas, Zahid, Ahad and many more. Regardless of the production flaws, regardless of script flaws our actors always give their best performances and it’s visible. So it’s ok to say that yes, Mahira snd Usman have done a great job like our actors usually do, but the story just doesn’t live up to expectations. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I respectfully believe that you guys can be a bit hesitant to point out flaws in HKKST. Hassan does point them out but Aamna can sometimes give the story too much credit. I don’t see it being anything that’s out of this world like Aamna does unfortunately. Maybe that’s just my opinion, but a lot of people also agree. I’m not accusing that anybody is being biased on purpose, but I just want you to put aside the cast and forget who’s playing the characters and draw out the story. Where did the story begin, what major events took place and what is happening between the characters now? Does it honestly make sense? Do the reactions of every character actually seem realistic? We saw great honest reviews for Fitoor, Ishq hai and even khuda aur mohabbat. You guys rightfully pointed out the stellar performances but also roasted the story line when needed. And I honestly think HKKST is pretty roast-able at this point (I think most people agree as well). You did mention some flaws in the last review, but I still don’t see the full critic in you like I did in this review and your reviews for other dramas.

I was refused a visa to Bangladesh for a family wedding. I have a US passport. The reason for refusal is because I have a Pakistani background 🥲

Aamna I have spent first 14yrs of my life in Pakistan and Then was in a concentration camp before returning to Bangladesh and I tell you what I have seen the discrimination we experienced by the Pakistanis you won’t be able to imagine. And I went to Pakistan in the nineties and the way I was hassled by the immigration in Pakistan was something I never expected.

As an indian thanks both of host for beef jokes support, u guys should understand as alchohol & pork are treated as a sin by ur prophet mohammad & muslim word, same our gods (ram, krishna in hinduism, buddha in bodhism , guru nanak in sikhism & mahavir in jainism) said don't eat animals specially cows , thats why majority of indians are vegetarians, and because of that in old india farming profession went to large population because cow, buffalowes & oxes are used in farming because of that tradition, not as a food, thats why every hindu,sikh, jain, buddhist don't eat specially beaf or any non-veg, not in india but any gurudwara, hindu temple, budhist temple or jain temple u will not find non-veg food or specially no beef at all in any religious side in all over world

Am so relieved you guys haven’t succumb to pressure and praised the movie like some other critics.

38 minutes for one movie review, that is quite a large time. Generally international critics take 10-15 minutes or less most of the times for a movie review. No offence towards you, I am just giving my opinion cz I would love to watch a slightly shorter & packed review.

I really liked the movie and watched it recently in cinema, I really enjoyed the story but the only thing that was lacking k end pe Dada g (Manzar Sehbai) ko wapis le jatey ya end pe at least dada or daadi (Samina Ahmed) ki video call he kara dete ya Sajjal even call pe he bta deti dadi ko k dada jaan mil gye hn, end pe wapis University ja k koi winning moment dikha dete

To all Bangladeshi people! as a Pakistani, I would say that we were always taught that Bangladeshi are our own people, and we always felt an emotional connection with that country for obvious reasons. our parents clearly told us that it was the fault of Pakistan's politicians at that time and India took benefit out of it. which means because of a few major politicians and their personal grudges and benefits, we lost a huge part of our country, and it will always be a painful event for us. but then when I grew up and realized (through social platforms and other sources) Bangladeshi people's attitude towards us, which was negative most of the time, I asked why do we feel pain for losing them when they hate us. so yeah upon searching the answer I found out that for them it was freedom, as due to dirty politics that region was suffering and it was easy for India (being very next to them geographically) to support them to break Pakistan. Conclusion: so dear Bangladeshi people, yeah we agree it was the fault of our politicians to ignore east Pakistan, but India played their role very well in separating us, you feel happy about it? good, every region deserves to have freedom. But if you appreciate India in this matter and blame only Pakistan, then I feel sorry for you. and remember few politicians do not represent the whole Pakistan. our ancestors felt that pain because they considered your region as a part of us too. we were always told to love you. so don't judge the general public of Pakistan, we didn't ignore your history. whatever happened, happened. it was so painful, but it wasn't the fault of general people. Let's move on positively.

Well, have to say Amna is a brave lady! I personally dont know enough abt the subject, so cant comment, but given that Pakistani cinema is still evolving, I dont really expect a nuisanced or sensitive narrative on such a complicated subject from them yet. It would take a Kashif Nasir or someone of his calibre to do justice to such complicated topics.

I appreciate the objectivity in this review and that it acknowledges the film was jingoisitc (which was my reading based on the trailer alone). I was frankly quite amazed this gruellingly controversial topic was being addressed through a film. 1971 was not all that long ago, the scars of that war are still fresh in the minds of many in Bangladesh, and many who fought in the war there are also alive to tell the tale. The government does its bit to ensure the younger generation does not forget. Sheikh Hasina’s ruling party has won widespread support by tainting the opposition as traitors or Pakistanis and has a reputation for hanging “war criminals”, i.e. those who allegedly fought or snitched for Pakistan in the war. Human rights records for such mass atrocities are always widely disputed but a lot of Bangladeshis firmly believe more of them were killed by Pakistani troops. With all that daunting history, a movie that sets out to apologise without explicitly addressing what happened? I don’t know… isn't there's a huge risk it might sound condescending and offensive? Especially if it's jingoistic -- that would only make one wonder about the motivations behind the movie and the timing of it. A question to think about is: does participating in such biased storytelling say something about actors or their political views too? I loved listening to Aamna's frank thoughts, and yes - just because India (my country) is making shitty propaganda-driven movies doesn't mean they're a great role model to follow. There are Partition movies made on both sides of the border some of which were really well-made and some that were really biased or just had terrible storytelling. Films are so popular in this side of the world that they are low-hanging political tools. Nothing like a blockbuster film with A-list actors to take a dig at an enemy nation - even if that means exploiting a traumatising event such as a war where literally millions of people are believed to have been killed, and generations after them living with the scars. It's something that I think should shake the conscience of everyone involved in the film, but I guess it doesn't. "Aik galati hui kisi se bhi, maang lete hain maafi dono," - this dialogue by Sajal at the end of the trailer made me cringe. Reducing what an entire country believes was a genocide to a "galati" or mistake is as wishy washy as can get. The movies are purportedly sold as educational or entertainment, but when they fail miserably on both those counts, we should hold them accountable.

Also as a bengali, I'd just like to put it out there that not all bengalis hate pakistanis. I love watching pakistani dramas, their culture, the language. I engage with it more than any other content from other countries. for Amna to say that they (bangladesh) will never accept or like pakistanis, is quite insensitive for me, I also have been watching you guys on your chanel for years. my grandparents had experienced this and my mom tells me stories about it. I think in my generation a lot of people have reconciled, and you shouldn't say that no one has.

DON'T GET YOUR HISTORY LESSONS IN CINEMA HALL GUYZ :- My advice to every south asian after reading history for 5 years in University.

Bilal and Sajjal ...are gems

Agree with you Amna there was no point to make such movies now we should move on and of course Bangladesh is also move forward as well. If india is making movies against Pakistan then why should we do the same thing.

40mins for a movie review is too long. Also the review is hard to follow and all over the place. You need to work on the format and organize your review vs. random comments about the movie which was dragging.

We've never been told about fall of Dhaka in detail in our history books until I read the book "Hamayaran Dozakh " by Major Siddiqui Saliq. I cried for so many days after reading that book. What happened was history, but I've realised that if you create a gap in your society, your enemy is ready to take advantage of it and get into your fault lines. So that's why justice and giving equal opportunities to every sect of society is very important.

As a Patriotic Pakistani and somebody who hasn't watched the film as I won't be able to in Canada right now I think if we are going to make Anti-India films than we won't have any right to point fingers at India for creating problematic and Anti-Pakistani films. A story like Dhoop ki Deewar is what we want from Pakistan that promotes peace and shows the maturity of Pakistan and its makers. Also, we already have a very less amount of minorities in Pakistan and If we are going to portray them wrong or disrespect them how are we going to with the same face defend Muslims that are portrayed wrong in the other parts of the world.

Can't wait to watch Khel Khel mein. I want to watch Bilal in big screen 😍

From Amna and Hasan's conversation, I was surprised at their lack of knowledge about the fall of Dhaka, particularly when they belong to an upper-class educated section of society. That is dangerous as they are learning it first time from a badly made unresearched movie. Imagine the understanding of illiterate underprivileged masses!

In 2001, I have met one Bangladeshi Woman in Indian boutique in Artesia, Los Angeles. She was showing us clothes and then she got to know we are Pakistani not Indian. She behaved so rudely and baatain suna na shuru ker dia kay hum Pakistani people kaisay hotay hain. She was simply showing hate toward us. Meri Ammi nay unko kaha hum to bachpan say aap logo ko apna samjhtay hain. Bangladeshi hamaray bhai hain. That day we got to know Bangladeshi people don’t like us. Aur humain koi aur history Pata hai.

Thank you so much for your review, I like your debate and agree to disagree as you both have your own perspective and opinions rather than saying same thing. I don’t think that they will release it in Doha but wish all the best to movie and Pakistani Cinema.

The editing issue was hilarious. Your editor has added the clip at the end as well 😂

It's good to bring this topic. At least we feel prompted to research.

Bilal’s character was too good and bilal’s performance Also!! His humour, natural touch, so nice And yes I agree, this wasn’t sajal’s best performance

Amna it's not anti indian movie.Aaj Amna bohat ajeeb se flaws point out kar rahi hain .No hate for Amna but I don't agree with her.Yes, some scenes were annoying but overall it was a wonderful movie. I would rate it 8/10 Hassan is completely right at every point.

Being a political science and media studies student, projects like these and talks of apologies are 'not' meant to get close together and become one again; inseparable. It's just about to live your current lives knowing about history and realizing that we can live as humans. In our borders and boundaries we can cooperate especially in global times like today. We can respect each other's integrity and sovereignty instead of malign and warfare attitude. We need to work on ourselves because the losses done can never be reversed or fully compensated since emotional loss is abstract.

From the body language and the conversation between Amna and Hassan, it seem like both have not enjoyed the movie, but they have the responsibility of encouraging the home movie industry. Which is justifiable. Amna's perspective is correct, why you have to hurt existing ties to establish new. Showing Hindus in bad light and Sikhs in good is a kind of dirty politics, PM Imran Khan style. I think artist community should not get involved with it. Speaking about Bangladesh fiasco, what is so black and white and what is available all over the internet, does not have to be learned from screen play writers, who are creating Bangladesh in their bedrooms. Not healthy for Pakistani people who already have too much to handle. In that respect I agree with Hassan. If Pakistani Janata has not been told the truth about that war, people have more authentic ways to learn now than before. You could only trust screenplay writers and directors like Shyam Benegal or M.S. Sathyu , not like Nabeel who have history of making LoadWedding etc. Anybody who creates more hate in the heads of Pakistani people to make some money is an enemy not a friend. There are a lot of people on both sides of border who do not like such propaganda style negative energy films, made in either side.

It's a shame that neither Pakistan can make films without portraying India as the "enemy" nor India can make films without portraying Pakistan as the enemy. I'm Indian and I really like some of the Pakistani content that I have seen on KZfaq but I am so disappointed after seeing some bits of Khel Khel Mein. There is a part in the film where it claims that India works tirelessly to create divide amongst people of Pakistan. I'm sorry but India didn't push Pakistan army to brutalize people of East Pakistan. Neither did India have any role to play in the hegemony of West Pakistan ruling elite over East Pakistan, martial laws, the general demeaning attitude towards bengali culture in Pakistan at the time. Also, it's highly ironical that the film takes an anti India stance and yet uses an Indian song (Hum Laaye Hai Tufaan Se) to spark patriotism within Pakistanis. they haven't even credited the original creators of the song btw. if only the film had focused on taking responsibility for the sufferings unleashed on Bangladeshis without creating an "enemy" figure to shift the blame on, it could have been a beautifully realised story. Anyway, I hope both India and Pakistan can make more films like Raazi (2018, Alia Bhatt starrer). A film that humanizes Pakistan for the average Indian viewer and shows both countries as victims of mindless rivalries and nationalism.

As a Bangladeshi I can only say that some Pakistanis are choosing to be ignorant of the facts that led to the 1971 war. This movie tries to whitewash the facts and history by placing blame on India. I personally don’t hate Pakistanis and know many Bangladeshis who love and welcome Pakistanis here but that doesn’t change the fact that there was oppression from day one, and war crimes that would horrify people.. I don’t think the normal Pakistanis are aware of the real facts. Thank you Hassan and Amna for speaking up and providing a comprehensive review

Sorry but couldn't agree that Pakistanis are not rightly welcomed in Bangladesh.There are so many Pakistani people staying and working here with proper love and respect. Also there are millions of Bangladeshi people who are crazy fans of pakistan cricket team. So its a wrong conception.. Love from Bangladesh 😊

I am in the UK and having grown up with Bengalis around me, I know some of them feel very strongly about the issues between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Apparently Bengalis were forced to abandon their language and were forced to learn Urdu. Mere abu hote to woh samjhate ke kya hua tha us waqt but I am mainly ignorant to the Pakistani view point on this.

Why are you so scared of anybody's fans?. You are supposed to give neutral viewers an honest opinion. Dont be scared of fans please.

The story is relateable I also I know the families who lost their family members in Dhaka Bangladesh in 1971 and couldn't go back to investigate as in start Pakistan didn't recognize Bangladesh till 1974.. moreover they had heard mixed tales about their loved ones some thought them dead, some thought them in prison somewhere in Bangladesh or India and all of them didn't had resources enough to go there..it was 70s not this time of technology and communication

Waalikumassalam Hassan bhai and Aamna Baji. Thank you so much for your review as i cant watch movie as i m in India . i love Billal and Sajjal . Trailer was too good so i hope movie bhi achi hogi . Shukriya aapka for all hard work . Without your review my day does not complete . Aapke review bhut pasand krte hain . Love and respect from India

I really loved theme of khel khel mein..long time I felt nostalgic for the Dhaka Fall heard tales of east Pakistan from my father always felt a certain romance for Bangladesh..thanks for making such a movie with strong message.. Faiz: Hum key thehre ajnabi itni mulaqaton key bad,Phr banaian ge ashna kitni madaraton key bad 😞 Kb nazar mein ayegi bedagh sabzay ki bahar ,khoon key dhabey dhulenge kitni barsaton k bad 😞

The camera and video quality is too good today👍

It wasn’t the fall of Dhaka but rather the fall of East Pakistan subsequently causing it to be the rise of Dhaka. I hope this film reflects the true events of the 1971 Bangladesh, India & Pakistan war and the real atrocities committed by the then West Pakistani dictators on innocent men, women and little children who were Muslims, Hindus, Buddhist, Christians and those of no faith but I have a feeling it will be based on their distorted narrative to wash themselves of any responsibilities of their past, now I maybe wrong but this trailer sort of gave me that feeling aswell as listening to their interviews but let’s see I hope I’m wrong. If you watch and listen to educated Pakistani intellectuals and outside commentators and sources who are well knowledged in history they confirm the truth of what the West Pakistanis did and it's also on record. As Muslims we should only speak the truth and not hide it under the carpet for the sake of convenience. This film will only be successful if it is truthful. The history of 1971 is innocent men, women and children were brutally murdered and scores of women were r*ped. Read and watch international journalist reports and news at the time that has been archived and furthermore listen to your own pakistani intellectuals and your own commissioner (Humidor Rahman) report who tell you the real truth of 1971, these are the people who are honest and say it as it is and many of them even received death threats for speaking out the bitter truth, certain people wanted to silence them. I believe some of the the new generation of Pakistanis are hopefully more open minded to the real historic facts. As a Bengali I’m not going to fall for this India are to blame for the pakistani army and government killing innocent men, women and little children even babies because it was the pakistani dictators who committed the action at the end of the day so no point in pakistani washing the history to convenience your own benefit. It’s no point using the Muslim card in one hand saying we are all brothers and sisters but on the other hand not being humble enough to accept that your past government committed heinous crimes against humanity. I pray to Allah (swt) movie is not white washed or Pakistan washed to suit their own narrative but let’s see how Muslim they are with the truth because we and most of the international community know about the real truth of 1791 and the crimes of the west pakistani army genocide against innocent men, women and little children aswell as the scores of r*ped, this is all on record and even their own intellectuals and past generals admit to this crime against humanity and the tactics they use to blame India so it deflects attention from their heinous acts in 1971, sorry to say but no sensible person is going to fall for their side of the story because the crimes were committed by the bigoted west pakistani government and army. We Bengalis don’t blame the current decent citizens of Pakistans because many of them don’t agree with what their government did and hats off to them for that because they are our true brothers and sisters not the delusional deniers.

As you asked about Dhaka fall. My grandfather (Dada) has been the victim and my father and aunts (his sisters) have suffered a lot. Everything has happened in front of them. They've lost all their valuables and properties in Dhaka. They migrated to Khi with nothing but slippers. Still now when this topic begins, it triggers them. I'm not sure if watching this movie is a good idea 🤔

Well I don't agree with this point. We welcome all Pakistanis with warm heart and love to offer our hospitality to them. Doesn't matter which country is someone from.

Salam. You have actually discouraged the people not to watch KKM by your not needed criticsm at this point. Let people watch and decide themselves. You should have encouraged the making of such movies rather than the same old romantic , item nubers .. we can forgo flaws keeping in view it to be the first step towards making of films dealing with serious issues & at the same time providing entertainment. I reccomend people to go and watch a different movie with talented actors like Sajjal and Bilal and so many new faces.They all need a big applause👏👏We must appriciate Fizza and Nabeel's bold initiative .This short film will definitely unravell many hidden facts or atleast leads to the dispersing of many misconceptions. Well done The Film wala team, 👍 loved Sajjal-s acting as ever👏👍

Hey there!! Salam. ❤️I am a Bangladeshi and I would like to say something about the ending of this video. We know Pakistan and its generation is not fond of this part of history. But it isn't same with us. If you research a little bit, we always bear the harmony of 1971 war and always remember the sacrifices made by our ancestors. They were our heros. And we grandly celebrate every national day which is related to Pakistan and this part of history. So how we can't be fond of this? Heard from my grandmother that she was about to be raped by a Pakistani army officer, my grandfather was about to shot but he managed to save himself, my uncle who was 2 years old then died because of the firings and blasts then. My own father had a tough time as he was a kid that time and he had to leave his house along with whole family for saving his life. So history and the sacrifices are still deeply connected with us. We can't forget even if we want to. So please don't think that we are not fond of 1971 history. I mean how can we? As we are a free, sovereign nation only for that time or incident. That was the main foundation of us. Anyway, loved the review. ❤️

I was really looking forward to seeing this film but it’s only screening for 7 days at the cinema in UK and I’ve missed the weekend 😭

Does anyone know if and where the movie is playing in the Toronto area?

I think we need to start to accept that movies are art that need to sell. This movie is made for Pakistani people with an aim to draw maximum people to theaters and make profit. If they show Pakistan was responsible - show atrocities committed by the then generation and army, would that have appealed to majority? How will they make money? Forget about making money how safe they would be? So take it purely as a story and what ever conversation it can kick off , consider it as bonus. But I do believe in one point Amna and Hassan pointed out - It’s high time we get rid of cheap jokes and portraying caricaturist people to instigate hate. And that applies to any filmmaker of any country. I haven’t watched Suryavanshi that everyone is talking about and I would like everyone to stop talking about it- because talking about it more and more would push more and more people to watch it - Because in this world publicity is publicity - good or bad. And in effect they will make more like those to make more money.

I am with you Amna, I look forward to political & historical movies. Fall of Dhaka is very close to my heart, I was a young girl when this happened. It had profound effect on me, I felt as if literally my one arm was cutoff from my body. We always thought of East & West Pakistan as two arms of same body. I have some close Bangladeshi friends, one of those wrote a book on that subject in which she blamed Pakistani army. It was very depressing to me. Thanks for reviewing this movie. Looking forward to watch it, hope they show it in USA.

I think your industry is directly under the control of army, that’s why the image of army is protected regardless of the war crimes committed. We also see a lot of dramas on tv these days that is portraying army as the purest of people with purest intentions, the so called “perfect” people with no wrong doings.

When I see Nabeel and Fiza films I am always reminded of my class fellow who used to come up with unique and interesting plots for each essay topic. She had good writing skills but the essay as a whole never worked and I always used to think at the end that what a wasted opportunity it was as she had such a good chance yo write a spectacular piece with that plot. The same goes for their films. I feel like they should add a more experienced writer to their team bcz their ideas are brilliant but their end stories and dialogues seem to be lacking in one way or another

Since months I am trying to guess what is the painting on the wall behind Hasaan. Can anyone tell me. It is beautiful.

Overall point: Kkm should've been a webfilm, should've been a netflix original 🤚 hassan and amna, what do u think abt it?

Dear Amna, Woh Hamsafar Tha was written on the fall of Dhaka. Additionally, Woh Ishq Jo Ham Se Rooth Giya was also penned on the separation of East Pak.

Amna your review is excellent!!Agree with u totally !!!!!!👏👏👏

With due respect I don't agree with hassan's point of "movie me damag lagana" sort of, Do people not watch movies like inception or shutter island and so many others. Movies can be informative, that should be normalized, not everything can be lala songs, romantic stuff etc

Guys, my grand parents died in Bangladesh after living there for years. My family couldn't go there in all these years because of these visa issues. These issues are real!

This video is not working for me. Did you guys set it so the people in the US can’t watch it?

@17:45 so in your battle with India youll make a mockery of Bangladeshis and their liberation struggles? After what the Pakistani army did to the innocent Bangladeshis and their women? I am referring to you Amna my pseudo feminist, where is your feminism when the pakistani army gangraped thousands of Bangladeshi women

West Pakistanis did not respect the people, the language, the leaders and the vote of the East Pakistani Bengalis. Despite being Muslim just like the West Pakistanis, the Bengalis were treated like second class citizens and not given opportunities for growth and development. That is a proven fact. India was NOT responsible for that completely disrespectful attitude of the West Pakistanis showed towards their Bengali Muslim citizens for 25 years. Will an apology to the Bengalis change anything now?

Very very impressed with Amna 👏👏👏

Sajal is not wow in Ishq e La too!!on pool when she bring the cake for Azlan her expression were just over acting.

Nabeel has a lot to say when it's anti Islam, but when it's anti hindu, woh toh chalta hai. If India makes anti-pakistan movie, India is bad but when pakistan makes anti-India, phir toh wo patriotic movie hai. Pakistani industry is hypocritical, if you make such movies then dont cry when India makes anti Pakistan movies. I thank amna, hassan and something haute for pointing out the hypocrisy.

Very good and unbiased!

Dear Hassan and amna ap logon k liye araz hai k fahad k elawa baqi sb actors bhi TV pe kaam krte hain ap on k baare mein to kich nhi kehte k wo big screen pe kyn ate hain lekin ab Bilal or sajal aye hain to ap speechy pr gye hain in dono k log Is movie ko pasand kr rhe hain or

Can we watch this film in India?

Ufff Amna you made me cry when you said it’s like taking the bandage off the zakham . It touched my heart .

Why video is not available on my device

Thanks God i watched it before ur review..its really heart touching movie.. however agreed with some of ur observations

Its very simple. Pakistan and India are NOT on friendly terms. The film industry across the border is CONSTANTLY producing content that has a strong anti-Pakistan flavour and such content has a very strong backing not just from the public but also from the critics. The way history is so conveniently distorted to suit India's narrative in Bollywood is not a hidden fact from anyone. Even diehard Bollywood buffs like Aamna and Hasan can't counter this. However when our film-makers commit the 'sin' of instilling an anti-India perspective in their content, critics like Hasan and Aamna undergo a 'morality high'......after castigating the movie for half an hour, Aamna 'neutralizes' her stance by saying 'go watch it'......how sweet is that! Movie industries all over the world, whenever they make movies with a political or historical subject, there is ALWAYS an element of bias. Though it is criticized but that criticism is very mild as compared to the enormous appreciation it receives especially in Bollywood. On the other hand, our apologist mindset and our obsession to be politically correct (Aamna WAS politically correct with respect to international standards as whatever she said IS the dominant perspective concerning the Dhaka fall) goes a long way in damaging our country's reputation. Just like according to Aamna, the chai jokes are getting a little too much, I'd say the blame game played by the international community (India leading from the front of course) for the 71 debacle is getting a little too much. Half a century has passed and we are still apologizing. There is always another side of the story and since it is not accentuated enough that doesn't mean its not true. I am hugely tempted to quote literature, videos and other sources of information that give a totally different perspective on the Dhaka fall but that could lead towards a huge debate so I better not. Agar human rights violations ki baat karni hai, I can point out a dozen examples where India has so callously violated UN regulations but since their impression management is top notch, those incidents are conveniently brushed under the carpet by Indians and by Pakistanis. But God forbid, hamaari taraf se koi anti-India baat kardee jaye, movie ya drama banaa diya jaaye, Indians se pehlay Pakistanis pohnchay huay hote hain us cheez ka tiya paancha karne ke liye. As for the movie, whatever I have garnered from the promos and the reviews, I would like to give a huge shoutout to Fizza and Nabeel and the entire team of Khel Khel Mein to finally come up with something that thankfully does not have an apologist streak. Continue making movies like these please. It is very important to understand the international dynamics here.....if India is continuously and shamelessly churning out anti-Pakistan content, we need to counter that effectively. As for Hasan and Aamna, now I understand why you guys aren't reviewing Dastaan for Haute Gold. Aap ke 'moral sentiments' ko chot lagee hogi Dastaan dekh kar......

My thoughts exactly! Thanku for being honest. Ignore the criticism.

Thanks for your reasoning Amina baitie/ you are right 100% . We have experienced fall of Dhaka 😢 our hearts still …. 😭

Absolutely agree with you Amna.

Why this video is not playing?

Video unavailable because of country region i m from Bahrain please check so we can see that

Thank you for this review. My husband migrated from Bangla Desh in 1971, and I will watch this movie with him.

I'm from Dhaka, Bangladesh. And, I really really really want to watch this movie but can't get any scope. Please, if someone can give me links, so just do it fast! ❤️

It was "Pindi se Alag yeh Dhaka". 😉I think they were in Karachi too

Anti India great??? Come on Amna, did not expect this from u. You r so grown up....not a teenager but a responsible critic. PL be plausible . Hassan has a better reason for watching this movie. At least he s straightforward and honest .

Aamna its release on 19 Nov 2021 instead of 19 Nov 2001, its just a correction you said mistakenly 2001.

The video is unavailable

I take spoiler alerts very seriously. So I am stopping right where Amna alerts. I will first watch the movie and then I will come back here. I promise. Why I m commenting this? Because spoiler alerts matter. So, thank you.
