The CinePearl Take
Director Baba Azmi crafts a measured, almost lyrical pace that lets the emotional beats breathe. Naseeruddin Shah delivers a masterclass in restrained melancholy as Safdar, while Aditi Subedi’s breakout performance as Safia brings fierce vulnerability. The film’s exploration of generational trauma feels both timely and timeless, though its deliberate tempo may test viewers accustomed to faster cuts.
