Review of Bebaak

Bebaak (2019)
9/10
Gender, Religion, freedom
2 October 2023
Bebaak based on a true story deals competently with all the three subjects concisely. A muslim man who it seems finds it difficult to raise a family of four bikering kids takes his eldest daughter to a muslim charitable trust which provides finance for education. The girl played convincingly by Sarah Hashmi, wants to pursue architecture. Her meeting with the officer of the trust played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui does not go well because the girl is not wearing hijab. The orthodox officer asks her to come again with proper Muslim attire covering her body and head if she wants to have finance. The applicant girl faces a dilemma as all modern girls must be facing in a gender biased religious society. Will she succumb?

Top class performance by Sarah Hashmi and Nawazuddin makes this short film achieve it's objective; how long will this bigotry persist in modern India?
