'My Father Iqbal': Does not rise to expectations

Directed by Suzad I. Khan, and with a personalised title, one expects the tale to be narrated from Iqbal's son, Sajid's point of view. But unfortunately, this is not so... The prologue defines, the tone of the narrative and predicts the turn of events. What follows is, how a happy family is tormented by some anti-social and selfishly motived people. Catering to philanthropic activities and his family needs, Iqbal leads a comfortable life within his means. When his son, Sajid passes his eighth standard with flying colours, advised by his principal, he sends his son to a boarding school in Pathankot.
