Khuda Kay Liye

Khuda Kay Liye (2007) DVDRip (Pakistani) 






The film is about two brothers who are pop musicians in Lahore, one of whom gets radicalised under the influence of extremists, while the other goes to America and gets unlawfully detained after 9/11. It is also about Mary (Maryam), a British girl of Pakistani origin, who is brought to Pakistan by her father and married off against her will.
Reception and Implications
Khuda Kay Liye was released on July 20th, 2007.
It is important to note that this is one of very few, if any, independent motion pictures to be released to a cinema-going Pakistani market. The general trend in local cinema revolves around formulaic song and dance numbers, reminiscent of Bollywood musicals. Independent film, or films that break this formula, are rare if not entirely absent.
The film was produced in conjunction with the film division of the Karachi-based network, Geo TV.
Audiences and art critics across Pakistan have loved this film, but the conservative religious clergy have criticised it severely. However, the movie has been well received by overseas Pakistanis. The international cinemas, dominated almost entirely by Hollywood films have made room for this film.
Khuda Kay Liye's themes include the role of music in Islam and the balance of Muslim values with moderate Western enlightenment. Audiences also praised the film because it rejuvenated Lollywood after many years. Most Muslim critics have rejected the film's claims about diverse religious personalities. Many claimed that all quotes about Prophet Daud (A.S) are manipulated to authenticate Music in Islam.
