A Must for Any NFAK fan

This short movie portrays a fan who discovers True Greatness of Nusrat (The Man & His Music) ... A must for anyone who is interested in know what ecstasy is... This docudrama shows a usual Pakistani, who was only familiar with the filmy & hip -hop rendition of NFAK, but departs from t to discover the Man & His Music. A very creative tribute to the legend. The budget is low but quality of direction is not at all ... The production values is not compromised at-all .. The selection of tracks is wonderful comprising the entire taste of NFAK's music. See it if you think you know what true music is & Listen to NFAK for the true taste of Ecstasy.

Brilliant insight into the early Nusrat.

A disillusioned Nusrat fan goes beyond the commercialised modern image of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and discovers his early music. A very well filmed low-budget movie by first time diretor Farjad Nabi left me begging for more. This is a fine example of the talent and quality of of film-makers and movies that are available in Pakistan if you look beyond the commercial mainstream of Lollywood.

I recommend this movie to anyone even vaguely interested in Nusrat and also if you just want to see good, quality work from Pakistan.
