Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

shahzaibh Can't believe that the director managed to address so many issues in a two and a half hour snapshot of urban Pakistani lifestyle. The message is change and the capability of it. Issues touched upon are transgenders, stereotyping and misinterpretation of religious doctrines, cricket, government corruption, prostitution, overpopulation, male child preference syndrome and other minor concerns. It is amazing how they put so many issues in a nutshell. As a former selector of male acting category at Miami Film Festival, have to mention the remarkable piece of acting by Shafqat Cheema who stole the show overall.

bshljtbaruah80 Hats off to you Mr.Shoaib Mansoor for presenting us such a wonderful cinematic experience! After 'Khuda Ke Liye', this is yet another powerful evocation a sensitive social issue. The questions raised by the movie through the mouth of its lead character not only concerns a particular Pakistani or certain Muslim societies of South-east Asia but it pertains to average global society as a whole.Though the movie at some point seems to be 'overstreched' a bit (esp. in relation to its length) but it never diverges from its overall appeal even for a single instance. It maintains its rhythm throughout the length and that requires appreciation. Each of the actors has done full justification to their respective roles; however, Humaima Malik deserves special note of appreciation. All in all a NEVER TO MISS, MUST WATCH for everyone in hunt of some really good cinema.

ram murat sharma BOL do not just have a Brilliant Story line but the underline message would make you think from the bottom of your heart about the value of life.The movie was really an experience. I must admit that this is Pakistani cinema at its best. On one hand the movie effortlessly touches upon social issues prevailing in any society and on the other the acting by everyone in the movie is par excellence. There were numerous moments in the movie when we had tears in our eyes. To add further the acting of whole cast was Outstanding. I sincerely Congratulate its maker's for a great effort and actors for great act.BOL is the first movie which compelled me to write My First Review on IMDb and to share everywhere i can. Respect for the Team of BOL!Ram Sharma

Awaix Javaid Well I saw the Pakistani film "Bol" after a very long time from its release. The reason was only the past memories from the direction of Shoaib Mansoor, "khuda ke liye" it was a very loose topic and directed so poorly that I left interest in watching from his direction anymore. I was of the view that he chose a very poor topic, presented it in a very poor direction and finally cashed out the name of "naseer ud din shah". I am a great admirer of Naseer ud din shah, he is a legend of East, his excellence and his mastery of expressions is beyond words. Shoaib just mesmerized the viewers with the cast and nothing else. This was my views after watching the film.Bol, well I was totally taken on a different drive while watching this film, this film was directed in much better pace and it had a very strong rhythm. In the beginning I was a bit bored by the typical eastern culture boring happenings, the usual crying scenes in a typical village manner, but later movie started getting strength with the very powerful, again I say very powerful acting of Humaima Malik. She ravaged the stage, blasted the expressions and took me in completely with the ambushed performance.Though I would like to tell you that, movie is in slow pace, talking on the whole, some unnecessary things which were not needed, and could be neglected, were implanted, but they surely had a different left over on mind like they say in "twilight" series, the implanting.The performance of Manzar Sehbai as Hakeem was superb, he did a great acting and he was the most accurate person for this role. The role of Zainab by Humaima Malik, again was very strong, in my view she takes the lead over everyone with her bold, courageous and speculating expressions and with this the movie went strong.Yet not to forget the role of Iman Ali, as meena kumara, another very strong role she played, accurately performed as she could have been and her depiction of being the inspirited Lakhnow whore was no doubt very good. Yet I believe she could be of a little more of pleasure rather than being casted as a "twaif" in my view, if she could perform with lead role, rather than being introduced as a "appear in" cast in the film, she could make this film a better.Finally I come to the topic raised in this film, the uncontrolled birth rate versus the (thought) doomed births of girls in the Indo-Pak based cultures which still persists somewhere deep in the minds of this land, whoever you pick, the most poor to the most rich, you will finally find some germs of this disease in him or her if you go in the genotype of this nation. There are so many problems in this section of world, the above all is marital literacy rate in the man-alive and male dominated society yet not to forget, that yes this problem does persist but its remnants are much spicule now. Yes I agree with the subject matter of this film, but it has been portrayed in a very long film, with undue prolonging of something which if avoided could be better.I would like to add something more, the role of Iman ali was very strong, yet not portrayed strongly, which could be made enchanting by adding some of old Lakhnavi style mujras, which could raise this film to a better height. Yes I know the people would disagree, from its need, this is because we are taught that these things are bad. Why? This was our culture, going to roots of Indo-Pak this culture existed and history of Mughals is lubricated with these kinds of tales. And because this film was very strong in subject and must be raised to international level, but let me tell you something, somewhat the reasoning of why I said to add Lakhnavi style mujras, if you compare the east side of Asia, compare with the films of Iran, they have a culture of dancing, and they show it in their films, do their films get censored, no? They portray it openly, again come to India, they have dances in their culture, and do they prohibit, no. then why we do. This is my view, others might disagree.Overall I would rate this film as 8/10, because in my view, the film should have ended with the hanging of Humaima (Zainab), leaving behind a question mark on the minds of viewers but as usual, the wish of happy ending tradition in Urdu films, made the director do the same.It's worth watching, at least in my view.
