3 Bahadur sequel: forgettable at best
KARACHI:It is not often that a film-maker reinvents his or her work so much that the end result is surprisingly unexpected. Documentary film-maker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy did exactly that when she delved into animation and produced Pakistan’s first animated feature, 3 Bahadur last year.
Two-time Oscar winning Chinoy is known for making documentaries which address social issues most are reluctant to talk about, and that is indeed commendable. After watching 3 Bahadur: Revenge of Baba Balaam, the sequel of 3 Bahadur, it is best that we remember her that way. While the sequel undoubtedly tops the first offering, it still doesn’t present anything worth remembering after leaving the theater hall.
