Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
BAZAAR
Synopsis
A portrait of poor Muslim families where girls are married to rich men, much older than them, in return for money that allows the family to survive. Najma ran away from home to escape such a fate, but the turns of fate make her return to her town and examine herself and her family deeply.

Our take
Gently lamenting about a society where the poor are forced to choose money over relationships, Bazaar is a touching comment on how every individual is essentially trapped. Poetically used, Ghazals and Nazms add a powerful haunting quality to this film.
