Get ready dear listeners to discover this stunning psychological drama film Qala, directed by Anvita Dutt through the insightful lens of guest artist Nida Bangash. With the protagonist Qala, a talented singer who often struggles with a demanding mother with internalized misogyny, we discuss frustrations as a creative whilst surrounded by a world of inequality and double standards.
