Mushkil (1995) is an intense action-drama following a devastated family whose young son is abducted by a powerful international human trafficking syndicate. Left helpless by standard law enforcement, the desperate parents take matters into their own hands, braving a dangerous criminal underworld across borders to hunt down the syndicate and rescue their child.

This captivating film can only be truly appreciated by seeing it firsthand. There are not enough words to describe the terrible beauty one experiences while watching it.
The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.
Most movies give you their point upfront, while others make you think it’s about a specific topic, then reveal that the story is about something else. Pink Lady belongs somewhere in the middle of those two categories.
