Qaid: No Wayyy Out

I don't review movies much but I couldn't resist this one. I watched this in a festival and i wish the rating had more than 10 stars and a bow down emoji. What a unique concept I must say! I was surprised that no one has spoken about this subject till now. And someone that to a woman took the courage to make a film on this such a bold topic. Hats off!! Not that the story is only relevant to gay community but being a gay myself I can relate to the struggles of people from this community. I have seen and heard so many stories about people who suffers from domestic violence in silence and this story perfectly stitches the physiological trauma and the patterns of DV. It's a gripping story and keeps you on the edge. And the songs Oh my god! Although my favourite is 'Mainu Mere Jeha' , I often grove some moves on 'Teri Meri Zindari' with friends. Performance by actors Tai Khan and Mohinder deserve a standing ovation to be honest. Even the supporting cast has done their part brilliantly. Overall this film is full of emotions and definitely not for faint hearts. I can't wait for this it to be available on digital platforms so that i can show it in my circle. A must watch film!!

I must say filmmaker is commendable the way reality is presented. A very important and brave message to share. This is very true and everyone must watch it once. There is still a huge stigma attached to males reporting abuse whatever their sexual orientation is. Not only an amazing production but a very well thought concept. If only all films were like this. Impressive to say the least. It also proves that a good story doesn't really need a big cast. The story itself keeps you on the edge and you makes you keep wonder what's next. Some scenes are so relatable and I have seen them around. Writer has done a good research. The songs are so soothing. Well done to the makers. A must watch film.

Qaid is a spine chilling movie and an absolute eye opener. Ofcourse I have seen and heard domestic violence in my life. Wives getting bitten up by husbands and what not but I never ever thought a man can suffer the same way.

Jigar leaving his country in attempt of a better life but one can not even imagine that he would face the same brutality that his mother has been suffering all her life. The only difference is his culprit is his own boyfriend Mihir.

Where Mohinder Kohli has played Jigar's part miraculously, Tai Khan's performance will make audience hate Mihir it's that powerful. The story's past and present run in parallel making the story even more engaging and generates curiosity.

Overall the way story shows domestic violence is spine chilling.

Highly recommended.

"Qaid - No Way Out" is an absolute masterpiece that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The film's overall impact lies in its tight, suspenseful narrative that blends drama and tension perfectly. Every twist is unpredictable, and the storyline keeps you hooked, making it a must-watch for anyone who loves thrillers with depth.

The cast's performance is outstanding. Each actor brings intensity and emotion to their role, particularly the lead, who delivers a nuanced portrayal of a character trapped in a no-win situation. The supporting cast also adds layers to the plot, enhancing the film's gripping atmosphere.

Qaid...no way out is a superb film!!!...For a film with a gay story line and absolutely shocking violence, is surprising to know, that it has a female director ......The direction by Sonia is first rate.!....The main leads Mohinder Kholi and Tai Khan are terrific!!!...The film depicts the domestic violence that we all have seen or heard about near us but failed to address..The film addresses that domestic violence in a brutal way!!!...They could have edited out some of the long scenes of other character artistes which prolonged the film..The film could have been a bit crisper..but otherwise it kept you tied to the story pretty well! .. On the whole a fantastic film...!!!
