Hamid

Eight year-old Hamid learns that 786 is God's number and decides to try and reach out to God, by dialing this number. He wants to talk to his father, who his mother tells him has gone to Allah. One fine day the phone call is answered.

Directed by Aijaz Khan, Hamid leans on a strong ensemble — Talha Arshad Reshi, Vikas Kumar, Rasika Dugal — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2019.
