Gul Makai Movie Review:

Born in a Small hamlet named mingora, near the beautiful Swat valley of Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai (Reem Shaikh) has been academically inclined from a tender age. But, despite her father Ziauddin Yousafzai’s (Atul Kulkarni) unwavering faith in her and his community, their world comes crumbling down when the anti-education extremist group, Taliban, hijacks their otherwise peaceful valley and puts an indefinite ban on education for the girl child.

It is Quite disappointing that the Film does not mention any of the controversies Malala has courted along the way, which is hard to overlook given the fact that the film is Biographical in nature.
