Qalam Cinema Boutique

I would just like to say this is NOT Saba Ali Photography that is located in East Coast (Delaware/​Maryland) area who is NOT a con artist. Her number is INCORRECTLY listed on this Unilocal business page and they are IN NO WAY associated. Please do not call this number or confuse this with Saba Ali Photography of UMD/​DE.
This woman is named SabaH but has been wrongly associated with Saba Ali’s page.
If any Unilocal moderator sees this, could you please remove this phone number from this page and change the name as it is WRONG.

The most unethical, unprofessional and dishonest person I’ve ever met. Took my money over a year ago and has all my raw footage. Never delivered any of the videos she promised and doesn’t reply to any text messages, phone calls or emails. Even blocked me from Facebook since I was repeatedly messaging her for either my videos or my money back. I don’t know how she’s getting away with cheating so many people.

SABAH ALI KHAN IS A FRAUD! Do not hire her for ANYTHING! She robbed us of our most cherished memories. Please read below and message me asap if she has done this to you as we are filing a joint complaint against her in the State of Illinois as she needs to be stopped and it’s our moral obligation to make people aware of what she has done.
My wedding was in June 2014 and we hired her for our Mehndi (pre-​wedding event) and Shadi (ceremony and reception.) We paid her in full a month prior to the wedding and in our contract it clearly states that we will get 1 (15) minute cinematic trailer, 1 (60) minute cinematic video on a DVD and hard drive with sub sections like: choreographed dances (which our friends and family worked so hard to prepare), rasms (traditions), speeches etc.
We finally got a very poor quality DVD in March after incessant calls, texts, e-​mails and all we would get from her were excuses like «my dad is sick», «I have relatives over» etc. She was late to meet us every time and even on my wedding day she was 15 minutes late! Also, her «assistants» which I think were just her friends were caught drinking at my wedding and dancing with guests so I really wonder WHO WAS TAKING OUR VIDEO??? Maybe that’s why she won;t respond because she never took the whole video…
The DVD she gave us in March is bad quality e. g: she has songs over the songs my friends/​family danced too, song over speeches so you have no idea what they said, at some parts you can hear Sabah’s voice in the background, she spelled my name wrong in every version of this DVD after being told multiple times to edit it but nothing.
She promised us we would get an edited version of the entire raw footage but nothing o this date and after giving us the crappy DVD in March she has not responded to any of our correspondence.
All I want now and have communicated to her that we just need our raw footage so we can pay someone capable to complete the work she took upon and was paid for. She is so unprofessional and has no morals.
I am certain she will never prosper in life with such a pathetic attitude and after doing this to so many people but all I care about is attaining my wedding video.
Weddings only come once and we made the mistake of hiring the worst person to capture such a special day.
Please message me so we can jointly do something to bring it to everyone’s attention as she should not go on with life like this after what she has done to so many people.
Thanks!
Sahr.

Sabah Ali Khan is unprofessional and unethical. She is quick to take your money but she will not deliver what is promised. Sabah Ali Khan and her very unprofessional team ruined my sister’s wedding memories, failing to capture key moments during the wedding festivities, and then delivering utter garbage after many many months. Everything about the video was so inferior that we are embarrassed to share it with anyone. Not to mention the abundant stress that came with working with her, her not responding to calls and texts, not giving us the raw footage, and then finally disappearing altogether. Please DO NOT hire Sabah Ali Khan!!! DO NOT invest in Sabah Ali Khan or work with her on any project. Frauds like her must be exposed for who they are. Sabah, if you’re reading this, at least have the decency to formally apologize to all those who you have wronged.

She has a horrible customer service, she shot our wedding video so called videography and she is yet to give us the wedding video not to mention it was 4 years ago. Then on top of everything her sister Aliya bitched at me for calling saba asking for our money back. When i talk to Saba Ali khan she kept making excuses that it will be ready soon don’t worry and all that bullshit…#thanksforruiningourmemories #gotohellinshallah #paybackisabitch

Ripoff**** stay clear from her otherwise you’ll cry forever and won’t even get any pictures/​video of your event. My friend regrets hiring her for his wedding. Its been 3 years, and he still didn’t get his video. She has an attitude issue and bad bad bad customer service. I wish I could give her –5 stars.

Wow, she is a major con artist. Not even worth A star.
She previously did business under the name, «QALAM Productions». Her full name is SABAH ALI KHAN.
She did the video for my wedding in 2011 totally effed it up.
She didn’t cover any important memories if she did the sound of the video is messed up, not synced properly at all. She took it to fix it but miserably failed.
She tried to act all high tech but in my opinion she sucked and she sucks.
Later, she offered to edit the raw wedding pictures that her photography partner had taken; she was given the BD of pictures which she lost.
After several attempts, she emailed me saying that has them somewhere in her box as she was shifting her hideout.
She has destroyed my memories and is very unprofessional.
I’m ready to take a legal action against her if other Unilocalers are with me.

I hired Sabah A Khan to film videos at my Chicago wedding. On the day of, Sabah and her team arrived late. After their shift was completed, Sabah and crew welcomed themselves to the open bar at our reception. We never thought they would be so unprofessional by joining in on our celebration. To make matters worse, her team did not even tip the bar.
Fast forward 9 months and she has not responded to my phone calls or emails. She has exceeded her deadline. We have not been provided with any videos and have come to realize that our money and memories have gone down the drain. Please do not hire her for any projects, she lacks responsibility and professionalism. She will take your money and provide you with nothing.
