Sexuality is such a intricate thing! Haider living in a male dominated
household, the suppression of masculinity is so high on him, that he develops a sort of craving to it. He becomes submissive, that's why you see him turning around to Biba and submitting to her. Meanwhile his wife Mumtaz, is caught up in this whirlwind of things struggling with her own sexual awakening, which eventually leads to her demise. If anything, there is no joy in this Joyland. Not even a glimpse of it.

Quite a tragedy; the story paints a pretty glum picture.
A great attempt to express a unique story; with characters super authentic.

Joyland is a film that defies genre, in equal parts romantic comedy, family
drama and tragedy. This gem of a movie features incredible dialogue, beautiful cinematography, fully

watching on screen.  This film gets inside you literally to live a story of horror within you.  Top
