Review'Cake', now streaming on Netflix, was created by debutant writer-director Asim Abbasi.Saraswati DatarCake. It comes in different shapes and sizes, colours and textures. The icing on top can often conceal what lies underneath, or whether the cake is actually as delicious as it looks. Quite like families. They are always around, whether physically or in spirit. Each one is different, but they are all familiarly comforting when enjoyed in small slices. Cake, now streaming on Netflix, is co-produced by Indus Talkies and Zab films. Debutant writer-director Asim Abbasi creates a layered drama that seems inspired by realistic Bollywood films like Piku for its visual treatment, and possibly the Hollywood comedy-drama Hanging up (2000) where three sisters are reunited as their difficult father nears his end. Set in Karachi, Cake tells the story of estranged siblings Zareen (Aamina Sheikh) and Zara (Sanam Saeed) who are forced to reconnect when their father is rushed to the hospital.
