Despite its baroque affectations that drag the narrative, Qaatil Haseenaon Ke Naam is watchable because of Gaur’s flamboyant direction, intensified by Mo Azmi’s visual palette, and the eclectic music. But it works mostly because of the haseenas. Nearly all the lead performances are to watch out for: Samiya Mumtaz as the dignified but deadly Mai Malki; Mehar Bano as the hooker with a heart of gold, Anarkali; Eman Suleman as the resilient Zehra; Faiza Gillani as the sympathetic nurse Kanwal, and Beo Raana Zafar as Massey Ma, whose age belies her sharp instincts and drive for justice.
