The film was also awarded ‘Best Film’ at the Pakistani Cinema Awards in 2023 for its engaging screenplay and sensitive treatment of an event that is rarely discussed in Pakistan.
“Gunjal” discussed all sides to an event that is still shrouded in mystery in Pakistan, and the misery at the root of which still stays intact.
Child labour still deprives millions of children of a future and an education.
