Thought-provoking theme: ‘Bol’ gets Indian award

KARACHI: Pakistani film ‘Bol’ by Shoaib Manzoor, has won the best Hindi/Urdu film award from the Lucknow-based civil society Institute for Research and Documentation in Social Sciences (IRDS).

The award has been given to the topical and thought-provoking film for raising many social issues including the regressive attitude of a male-dominated society. Shoaib Manzoor earlier achieved fame in India with ‘Khuda ke Liye’, which also starred Naseeruddin Shah. The awards have been given to acknowledge and accept the great impact of cinema on Indian socio-cultural life.
