MUMBAI: Dream do come true, if you Belive! From the underbelly of a nation torn by war, poverty and chaos comes a truly inspiring movie that depicts one’s unshaken faith in following their heart. This Friday, 12 March, &PrivéHD, the premium destination of nuanced cinema, presents yet another enjoyable and must-watch movie from a new corner of the world with the premiere of the Arabic drama The Idol.

With this, movie fans are set to be entertained with new blockbuster foreign films every week that promise to make you feel at home, no matter the language.

This movie is the tale of Mohammed Assaf (Tawfeek Barhom), a wedding singer from a refugee camp in Gaza. Despite the numerous impossible hurdles in life, he goes on to win the prestigious singing competition ‘Arab Idol’. This dramatic victory of his as a global singing sensation isn’t just a celebration but also a symbol of hope for millions worldwide. A beacon of light for those who have lived a lifetime of darkness, is exactly what the two-time Academy Award nominated director Hany Abu-Assad has beautifully captured here. The uplifting musical elements in the film sets balance to a tone of violence and strife that continually plague the Palestinian region while at the same time identifying an individual’s dream to be more than what life dictates to him. The movie, about an aspiring musician living in Gaza, sets a seemingly impossible goal to compete on the Global singing competition ‘Arab Idol.’
