Armaghan returns to Pakistan unaware of the secret about to change his life. His cousin Ali, is on his own path of self-discovery to become a Lollywood star. Will they both find what they are looking for...
Ali MacGraw who saw the film at the Santa Fe Film Festival called it “a huge and impressive accomplishment. I was fascinated to see the many aspects of Pakistan which are not normally accessible to us on our television reportage…a riveting film." In the words of one reviewer Patricia L. Sharpe from WhirledView, “the film is a captivating homage to a Pakistan of tolerance, grace, aspiration and good humor, a Sufi-influenced Pakistan that is tragically under threat today. So well publicized is… Talibanization that most outsiders see Pakistan only in those terms... If Kashf comes your way, see it and be enchanted.”
