== Plot ==
''Gul Makai'' focuses on the journey and struggle of Malala Yousafzai, from her upbringing in the [[Swat District|Swat Valley]] in northwestern [[Pakistan]], to becoming a champion of free education for girls and women. When Swat Valley was seized by [[Taliban]] gunmen in 2009, Yousafzai spoke out for the rights of girls, especially the right to receive a complete education. Under the pseudonym '''Gul Makai''', she began blogging on the BBC Urdu website, voicing her opposition to the oppression she faced in the Swat Valley. As she gained worldwide recognition and support, she was hunted down and shot by a [[Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan|Taliban]] gunman due to the organization's violent opposition to girls' education.
'''''Gul Makai''''' is a film that portrays the life of [[Malala Yousafzai]], focusing on her experiences in the [[Swat District|Swat Valley]] of northwestern [[Pakistan]] and her advocacy for education rights, particularly for girls and women. In 2009, the [[Taliban]] took control of the Swat Valley and imposed strict restrictions, including banning girls from attending school. During this period, Yousafzai began writing under the pseudonym "Gul Makai" for the [[BBC Urdu]] website, where she documented the challenges faced by girls in accessing education under Taliban rule.


Yousafzai's advocacy for education drew international attention and recognition. However, her activism also made her a target of the Taliban, who opposed education for girls. In 2012, she survived an assassination attempt by a Taliban gunman, an event that highlighted her struggle and further amplified her message on the global stage.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nobel Prize |url=https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2014/yousafzai/facts/ |access-date=9 December 2024 |archive-date=9 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241209182039/https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2014/yousafzai/facts/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Assassination attempt |url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/malala-says-assassination-threats-cant-weaken-her-cause |access-date=9 December 2024 |archive-date=9 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241209172442/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/malala-says-assassination-threats-cant-weaken-her-cause |url-status=live }}</ref>
After surviving the attack, Malala was airlifted to a hospital in [[Peshawar]] and later transferred to the United Kingdom for further treatment. Her recovery was closely monitored worldwide, and she received an outpouring of support from global leaders and human rights organizations. Despite the life-threatening ordeal, Malala remained undeterred in her mission. She continued to advocate for girls' education, delivering powerful speeches and participating in international forums, which amplified her message and garnered further global attention.

In recognition of her unwavering commitment to education and courage in the face of adversity, Malala Yousafzai was awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] in 2014, becoming the youngest-ever recipient at the age of 17. Her story, as depicted in "Gul Makai," serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and underscores the importance of education as a fundamental right. The film not only chronicles Malala's personal journey but also highlights the broader struggle against oppression and the fight for women's rights in regions affected by extremist ideologies.

Gul Makai is a 2020 Indian biographical drama film directed by H.E. Amjad Khan, written by Bhaswati Chakrabarty, and produced by Tekno Films. The film is based on the life of Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest ever Nobel Prize laureate.[2]

Reem Shaikh portrays Malala Yousafzai in the film, which also features Om Puri in his final acting role. Gul Makai was released on 31 January 2020.[3]

Plot

[edit]

Gul Makai is a film that portrays the life of Malala Yousafzai, focusing on her experiences in the Swat Valley of northwestern Pakistan and her advocacy for education rights, particularly for girls and women. In 2009, the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley and imposed strict restrictions, including banning girls from attending school. During this period, Yousafzai began writing under the pseudonym "Gul Makai" for the BBC Urdu website, where she documented the challenges faced by girls in accessing education under Taliban rule.

Yousafzai's advocacy for education drew international attention and recognition. However, her activism also made her a target of the Taliban, who opposed education for girls. In 2012, she survived an assassination attempt by a Taliban gunman, an event that highlighted her struggle and further amplified her message on the global stage.[4][5]

Production

[edit]

H.E. Amjad Khan decided to make a film on Yousafzai's life and struggle in 2012 following her assassination attempt. After the film was announced, Bhaswati Chakrabarty spent four years researching and writing the script [citation needed].

Several hundred actresses auditioned for the role of Malala; 16-year-old Bangladeshi student, Fatima Sheikh, was initially cast.[6][7] However, due to safety concerns stemming from backlash from religious extremists, Sheikh had to withdraw. The role was then given to child actress Reem Shaikh.[8]

Veteran Bollywood actors Om Puri, Divya Dutta, Mukesh Rishi and Arif Zakaria were cast in supporting roles. Khan stated that physical resemblance to the characters' real-life counterparts was a key casting consideration.[9]

Gul Makai began production in late 2016, filming on location in Bhuj (Gujarat) and Mumbai.[10] Filming in Kashmir, however, was delayed due to ongoing conflict in the region.[11] Filming resumed and concluded in January 2018.

The film was edited by National Award-winning editor, Praveen Angre, and included extensive VFX work to recreate the Swat Valley landscape and combat scenes.

Reception

Udita Jhunjhunwala of Firstpost gave the film 1 out of 5, writing, "Gul Makai is well-intentioned but as a film, it flails about, overusing background music, abruptly ending scenes, not convincingly recreating an environment and shortchanging its subject. The script feels like a compilation of information culled from news clippings, Wikipedia, and books on Malala. Best to go straight to the source material and bypass this ennui."[12] Devesh Verma of Filmfare gave the film 2 out of 5, writing, "There is a clip from a speech by the real Malala at the end credits which offers more impact about education of girls worldwide than this two hour film because it showed a person's burning desire to bring about a change."[13]
