Gul Makai (2020)

Gul Makai tells the life of Malala Yousafzai, from her childhood in the Swat Valley, where her father ran a school, to the years when the Taliban took control of the region and began banning girls from studying. The title comes from the pen name, Gul Makai, under which the young Malala wrote a diary about life under Taliban rule, which brought her to the world's attention. Reem Shaikh plays Malala, with Atul Kulkarni as her father Ziauddin and Divya Dutta as her mother. The film follows her growing courage and the danger it draws onto her family, building towards the attack that made her a global symbol. Malala later became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The cast also includes Om Puri, in one of his final screen appearances, and Pankaj Tripathi.
