What Kamal Khan has done with Laal Kabootar is something which more established and esteemed directors in Pakistani cinema have yet to do: provide something new. Modern day Pakistani cinema (with a few exceptions) can be subdivided into two categories: the attempting, but failing miserably, Bollywood copies and the over the top mind numbing patriotic/army movies. However, Laal Kabootar shows the talent and thought is there in Pakistani cinema, it just needs to be explored. A movie which deviates from the norm, focuses on story and has beautiful cinematography, Laal Kabootar is in a class of its own. Hopefully, it'll act as a foundation to a much better and more diverse Pakistani film industry.
