Pakistani Urdu film BOL is about a woman called Zainub. Zainub (Humaima Malick) is sentenced to death. Mustafa (Atif Aslam) advises her to tell everyone her story before she dies. She is allowed a last wish by the President of Pakistan and she tells her story to a large gathering of media.
She says that during the partition of the subcontinent her family migrated from Delhi to Lahore. Her parents had a lot of daughters and then her mother (Zaib Rahman) gave birth to a child who is a hermaphrodite. Due to her family's deteriorating financial situation, Her father Hakim Sahib(Manzar Sehbai) wants to kill the child at its birth but the mother doesn't let him. The child, named Saif Ullah, is home-schooled by a master and becomes very skilled at sketching. He is immensely disliked by Hakim Sahib.
Zainub gets married and then divorces because she refuses to have a child due to her husband's financial situation. Meanwhile Zainub's mother keeps getting pregnant with babies who are still born. Zainub gets tubal ligation done on her mother to prevent future pregnancies. Hakim Sahib finds out about the surgery and is furious with Zainub.

Zainub discovers Saif Ullah while he's wearing a woman's clothes and is greatly perturbed by this and consults with Mustafa about Saifi. Mustafa takes Saifi to a guy who is in charge of drawings/paintings on trucks. Saifi is teased by perverts there and returns home after work crying his eyes out. Zainub tells him to be brave and that their father would be very happy when he sees Saifi's earnings.
Saqa Kanjar (Shafqat Cheema) asks Hakim Sahib to teach Nazra Quran to children in his household. Upon finding out that Saqa is a Kanjar, Hakim Sahib denies his request. Saifi is tricked into getting inside a truck at work and is raped by several men at the painting place where he works. Mustafa arrives at the scene but is fooled by the men there into believing that Saifi has left for home. Saifi is found later that night by a shemale and is returned to his house. Hakim Sahib, upon learning that his son was raped, chokes and kills his son with a plastic bag, but not before Zainub sees him doing it.
