Kamalan Bebagr’s film, Malaar is one of the most-watched movies in Balochi. The film is about love- not romantic love but spiritual and unachievable love. Malaar also shows the worst picture of our societies which are centralized in the guiltiest rituals and customs.
The film, however, seemed to accentuate and bring out the cognitive sicknesses, gloom recessions, frustrations, and anxiety that a man feels in his daily life while living in societies where people do not understand emotions and realism.
However, if we talk about the film, it is necessary to mention the main characters in the film which include an extreme and crazy lover, Rafiq and Omar Kiyya who play the role of a doctor in the film.
Rafiq, the crazy lover, falls in love with a girl in his university. With time, he becomes more affectionate and his love reaches its topmost. But, due to the notions and customs, he forfeits the love that makes him say goodbye to his studies and life by committing suicide after having unveiled the reason behind his madness to his doctor.
To clarify, let me mention that I have watched this movie when it was first released on YouTube. It has almost been a year since I have watched Malaar. The movie was outstanding. At that time, I thought to write a review about the movie but did not because I was not that inscribed. After watching some other written documentaries of Ustad Kamalan Bebagr, I became a fan of him and again watched Malaar.
This time Malaar was quite interesting and lovable. I found something untold and hidden in this film. Therefore, I think this film can be a great source of acknowledgement and entertainment.
