Grey Propaganda in "Khuda Ke Liye" Film

Khuda ke liye is a Pakistani movie blockbuster which shows some social issues in this country and on other hand it shows some reality base events which are happen in reality but they are being showed in other ways in media language Grey Propaganda.

Khuda ke liye is a story which tells us about those Pakistanis who are overseas and the concept of Islam among youngsters. It is a story of two brothers Sarmad (fawad khan) and Mansoor (shan shahid). They both are talented and want to make their careers in music. But Sarmad (fawad khan) is impressed by a molvi and he is then taught that what you are doing is wrong and you will be punished for it by Allah. He (molvi) make him afraid and teach him about jihad that killing those who are against Islam is a good deed and show path to others so that they could also accept it as our creator have said. He make his concepts wrong and show him some other path which is not Islam and he convert himself into something else which is not acceptable in Islam and molvi like him want people to be terrorists. On other hand the both brothers have a cousin their fathers brother daughter who lives in London her name is Maryam (iman ali) she live with her father, she has a boyfriend and he is Christian but her father doesn’t accept it although he is already in a living relationship with some British lady. But for his daughter rules are different he wants her to marry some Pakistani Muslim so he takes help of Sarmad and they take Maryam away somewhere so that Sarmad can marry her and she will remain Muslim for her entire life. Forcefully she was married to Sarmad and Sarmad take help of the molvi who changed him to give him some place to live. Maryam face a lot of hardships she became pregnant without her own will and gave birth to a daughter and then Sarmad kill one man and regret for his whole life and Maryam managed to escape from that place with the help of sarmads father her uncle and file a case on Sarmad for her right.

While all this was happening Mansoor got admission in some music school in Chicago and is living happily with his girlfriend Janie. So an incident took place the most famous incident of 9/11 at the time Mansoor was living in America. FBI caught him and tortured him so he that he say something about the incident he was a victim who didn’t done anything and was being tortured there for many years and after many years they came to know that he has nothing to do with this whole thing they leave him and depot to Pakistan and at that time he wasn’t mentally stable and was not a normal human being like he was before.

While Maryam was fighting for her rights in court a great pious Muslim took place in the film who told everyone that this isn’t Islam who teach you to rule on each other or to kill someone who doesn’t listen to you it is about caring for each other and loving each other. It doesn’t teach us to kill to torture others. After his speech about this Sarmad understand that what is Islam and what I was doing was wrong. He asks for forgiveness from Maryam and start a new life. Maryam refuse to go back to London and want of teach those girls who are uneducated at the place where Sarmad kept her.

The main idea was to show the social issues of this film that people who are overseas are still narrow-minded and want to control their lives instead of sitting with them and finding solution for the problem and on other hand the reality of 9/11 portrayed in some other story line to show what actually happened at that time and the other major social issue of keeping their daughters uneducated and are not allowed to go to schools. And how Islam is portrayed differently in the mind of people and you should be aware of what is being taught to your children and teach him everything rather than relying on others.
