I'll Meet You There

Iram Parveen Bilal tells an important and beautiful story. The film follows Majeed, a Muslim Chicago police officer, and his daughter Dua, an aspiring dancer who are well integrated in the American culture. Their world changes after the unexpected arrival of Majeed's more traditional father Baba and when Majeed is asked to go undercover at the mosque his father Baba is attending. There's so much in this indie movie: the Islamic culture, which has so many fascinating aspects, a universal story of how we all deal with family relationships and a touching parallel between dance and life. Rumi's quote melts your heart and makes you realize how, beyond our life experiences and backgrounds, we all are one.

A truly touching story that gives a glimpse into life experiences I do not understand nearly enough.

Iram Parveen Bilal's domestic drama set in a Pakistani immigrant community is a fast paced story that revolves around the conflict between faith, identity and sense of freedom. The director has a tight grip over this sensitive subject and gradually builds a smooth narration between the thin line of tradition and modern values. The performances are outstanding specially the protagonist Nikita Tewani (Dua Khawar) and the grandfather Qavi Khan (Baba).

Just had a chance to watch Iram Parveen Bilal's latest production I'll Meet You There - Bismil.....What an awesome production and storyline. I am just speechless.....Iram outdid herself weaving the story between a father, daughter and grandfather so flawlessly while providing a fresh perspective on eastern and western culture. For someone who moved to States after spending their teenage years in Pakistan and have kids who were born in states can relate to so many moments in this movie. From the first scene to the last scene the movie kept me occupied and intrigued.....Kudos Iram, and all the actors, cast and folks behind the scene.....

Amazing outlook into another aspect of life in America. Intertwining Culture, Art, and Today's political angst all in one.
