Muhammad Amin Zia | 13 years ago | Reply Imran hunzai has a unique approach to depict social flaws and inequities in a bohemian style, masterly, though he has some hidden scare in his heart about the dictatorial religious reaction from certain quarters but still bold enough to speak truth through his wooden woes medium. I conclude, Bravo!!!!! keep it on.
