Anton Bitel Sight & Sound comedy itself is also one of the film's dividing lines of Islamic identity, as Cassim and Ebrahim negotiate (and redefine) together how many ha's it takes to pass from what is 'halal' (permissible) to what is 'halaam' (sinful). Mar 6, 2013 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Punch Drunk Critics Feel-good, humorous, and really shines the most when Moosa takes to the stage and gives us a dose of his comedy. Rated: 3/5 •  Aug 14, 2018 Full Review
