It also works to distract from the shortcomings, albeit few, that the movie has. But the sense of nostalgia that the movie provides is more than just its intrinsic fourth element. There are moments that appear exaggerated, and conflicts that perhaps had no place in the storytelling. That is not to say that the movie is without flaws.

More importantly, parents are humans too - humans who may commit grave mistakes in the belief that they're 'protecting' their child. Source: dawn Cake also brings forth an emotional dilemma we've all seen (or even experienced) but don't always express - the fact that it's not necessary that a good parent is also a good human being. For starters, Cake is one of the few movies, across borders, to represent the unique duality of a sibling bond - one where you make supreme sacrifices for each other, and yet, can hold in even minute resentments for years and years.

Source: dawn On the face of it, the movie may appear to be just another family drama, where long-buried secrets and old conflicts rise to the surface when an accidental reunion serves as a catalyst for long-forgotten but much-needed discussions. And Zain is the eldest sibling, whose focus has been more on his own family than his parents. Zara is the youngest child, still battling to rise from her past transgression. Zareen is the middle child, whose dreams are buried under the burden of family responsibilities as she looks after ailing, slightly eccentric parents and the family business.
The story revolves around three siblings, Zareen (Aamina Sheikh), Zara (Sana Saeed), and Zain (Faris Khalid) who are brought back together when their parents fall ill, one after the other. Source: Variety And here's a movie where family conflict is not mired in unnecessary emotional turmoil but necessary discussions, where sisterhood does not just deal with 'men' troubles, and where, the ending is not 'happy' but still warms your heart - because it is real. And every rave review, appreciation post, and accolade for the movie made perfect sense.ĭirected by Asim Abbasi, Cake is a two-hour-long family drama starring Sanam Saeed and Aamina Sheikh in the lead roles. I'd start by saying that I may be late to the party, but I finally had the chance to watch the Pakistani family drama, Cake.
