Sarmad Khoosat’s ‘Zindagi Tamasha’ is the controversy we’ve been waiting for

Ace filmmaker Sarmad Khoosat has returned to the silver screen with yet another riveting film, Zindagi Tamasha (Circus of Life).

The film which starres Arif Hassan, Samiya Mumtaz, Eman Suleman and Ali Qureshi in the lead is centred around a Naat Khwan Rahat Khawaja (played by Hassan) and his family who are outcast from society when a secret of Khawaja’s is leaked.

Meanwhile, the official synopsis states: “The film is an intimate portrait of a family as well as a scorching political commentary on little gods on this earth who police our private passions.”

The trailer also hints that the topic of blasphemy will be touched upon in the film.

Given the intolerance and misuse of the religion card in our society, Zindagi Tamasha will be a harsh wakeup call.

The film will initially premiere at the Busan Film Festival in South Korea later this week and will release locally some time this year.

Pakistani celebs took to social media to express their excitement for the film.
