Pakistan chooses film Dhuktar as official Oscar nomination in foreign film category.Pakistan’s Academy Selection Committee has chosen writer-producer-director Afia Nathaniel’s “Daughter” (Dhukhtar) as the country’s entry for the foreign-language Oscar race. Dhuktar was the best selection,due to obvious cinematic reasons. The film not only has an amazing screenplay, but is also backed up by a beautiful star-cast, which adds
Dhuktar, “Daughter” is a thriller that follows a woman who was married off at the mere age of 15. She bravely flees her overbearing, inhuman family,along with her 10-year-old daughter when it emerges that the daughter might suffer the same fate of child marriage. What follows is a chase, with killers hired by their family in hot pursuit to catch the eloped women and bring them back to their territorial home to repent and torture!The locations in the film are stupendous and at times overwhelming. The cinematographer manages to capture the true beauty of Pakistan and gives foreigners a widespread tour of our beauty homeland. Perfectly loacated across Pakistan’s mountains down to the metropolis of Lahore. Dhuktar stars popular Pakistani actors Mohib Mirza and Samiya Mumtaz.
Geo Films released the film in Pakistan today, thereby qualifying it for foreign-language submission. It premiered at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival earlier this month and will play at the BFI London Film Festival in October.The committee revealed that Dhuktar was the overwhelming favorite among the submissions.
