A Pakistani film with nothing about Islam

Sanam Saeed as Zara in Cake on Netflix looks so modern and urban than the epic Kashaf she essayed in Zindagi Gulzar Hai. Both these career women are proud, egoistic, independent and insecure. Yet, they belong to two different classes and two different societies that exist in Karachi. I loved the movie because, after a long time, I’ve come across a Pakistani film that has nothing to do with Islam, Islamic fundamentalism or even the customary ‘namaz scene’. Yes, you can have an entire movie based in an Islamic country, with Muslim characters without that. Bollywood should learn.
