"We all have been waiting for this for tad too long. The first few screenings at the festivals competition went well and it brought an independent jury award from Moscow. The reviews from top critics of Variety Hollywood Reporter and Screen were highly inspiring " Sarwar Farooki said.

"But one thing was constantly bothering me was the censor delay at home. However I had faith in our system. It s a humble human story and I knew they would realise it soon. Thanks to them for clearing the film finally " he added.
