Review of Bol

Bol (2011)
Touching Movie
18 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is similar in sort to "Aileen Wournos". Both movies deal with women, who were abused and their after deeds were directly or indirectly a consequence of their abuse. The movie does touch your senses and gives your thought process a clear jolt. What is an Honor Killing after all? Is the honor worth more than the life itself? what is the life worth? 3 lakhs or as negotiated down to 2 lakhs? Is this not a hypocrisy or clear discrimination in prosecution? This shows how extreme beliefs can be detrimental to self and the life born. The pace in the beginning is slow (part of it is the dark and dreary interiors and the subtitles that are few and far apart, But it does gets intriguing later. The movies raises more questions than answers as in the "Wournos" case. The direction is OK nothing to hype about. The music has no melody nor the background music rhyme with the depth of emotions. The acting is good. Technical (camera and shots)is lot to be desired or is not in par with international standards. Overall the movie is touching and depressing at the same time, since lot of the customs are so primitive and forbidding even to think such a custom still exists, but sadly it does. There is legal system in every country but is there justice? or should the justice be case by case basis?
