India finally watched 'Cake' on Netflix and is absolutely loving it!

Film made its way to Netflix this month and our neighbours finally got a chance to watch it

Asim Abbasi’s debut feature film Cake, starring Aamina Sheikh, Sanam Saeed and Adnan Malik, has captured many hearts in Pakistan over a year ago.

Cake was also Pakistan’s entry for the Oscar’s in the foreign-language category this year, so it’s well worth a watch again and again. The film made its way to Netflix this month and our neighbours finally got a chance to watch Abbasi's masterpiece. And as expected, they are all praises for the multi-starrer!

Watched Cake on @NetflixIndia & I'm an emotional wreck. Thank you @IllicitusProduc for taking me into an absolutely disconnected yet beautiful world. A fabulous ensemble headlined by @aaminasheikh @sanammodysaeed @adnanmalik & some very special senior actors. #Cake is GOLD.

I owe @NakuulMehta for recommending #Cake on @NetflixIndia Gosh! My eyes are still wet. What a great film & incredible actors. @aaminasheikh @sanammodysaeed @adnanmalik (I hope I got the right one.) The Amma and Abba are just superlative performers. #AsimAbbasi please take a bow.

I saw the trailer of #Cake last year, the much acclaimed Pakistani film with a stellar cast and then I thanked the lords of @NetflixIndia and saw it yesterday. Brilliant film! Warm, crisp, family drama. Loved @aaminasheikh - new found muse! @sanammodysaeed was as usual, great!

Finally watched #Cake, a gem of a film from across the border (also edited by one of Hindi cinema's best). Heart-wrenchingly beautiful portrayal of complex families. Please watch before it is taken off @NetflixIndia pic.twitter.com/TlsyAv50uy

Set in Karachi, Cake follows two sisters confronted by old secrets as one lives abroad and the other is ‘left’ behind. They must realise the only way for the family to move forward is by moving back.
