    Waar (2013) - Movie Review

    A landmark film as it jumpstarted the new age of Pakistani Cinema, and proved out the business model of high budget film production in Pakistan, Waar is still the film which has not been surpassed by other Pakistani films in terms of cinematography and stylistic action. And perhaps also having...

    Shaan Shahid's Arth (2017) - Trailer Reaction ...

    I found the trailer to be a little underwhelming, and am generally disappointed with the promotion that this movie is doing. Particularly, because this is Shaan Shahid's entry into new Age Pakistani Cinema as a film maker, and he seems to understand that he is making these films for a different...

    Rangreza (2017) - Trailer Reaction

    Not sure what happened to the trailer that was uploaded to YouTube. But it is not there anymore. I will post the official one as a reply in this thread when it becomes available. But overall, this movie made me really curious. It is supposed to be about the clash between contemporary rock and...

    Jawani Phir Nahi Aani (2015) - Movie Review

    All time highest grossing Pakistani film in Pakistan. And second highest all time grossing Pakistani film worldwide (Punjab Nahi Jaungi just recently broke it's record). Doesn't really matter to the Producer-Director duo as they were the same in both cases, and can very rightfully credited as...

    Of Aamir Sohail v Prasad and match fixing allegations - Pak vs Ind - 1996 World Cup QF Match Review

    Pakistan and India have had many high tension, high intensity cricket matches in their history. But for sheer drama, theatrics, pendulum swings, the 1996 World Cup Quarter Final has to be at the top of the totem pole. A game symbolized by the Aamir Sohail vs Venkatesh Prasad confrontation...

    Yalghaar (2017) - Movie Review

    The veteran actor Shaan Shahid said about Yalghaar that it "had the aesthetics but no script, story, structure or the knowledge of filmmaking". It was a pity that with so many great stories from Pakistan army, with a reported $5M budget, and a film like Waar as precedent, that the result was...

    1987 World Cup Semi Final - Pakistan vs Australia - Match Review

    According to Imran Khan, on this day in 1987, anything that could possibly go wrong for Pakistan, went wrong. One of the first cricket related heartbreaking moments for Pakistan from 30 years ago. This was the rare occasion that they were expected to win in the World Cup semi finals. They had...

    Actor in Law (2016) - Movie Review

    Top grossing Pakistani film in 2016, and 3rd all time highest grosser, Actor in Law is one of my highest rated movies. A very rare high concept film that sells on the pitch, it has great production value, and an all star cast to back it up.

    Punjab Nahi Jaungi (2017) - Movie Review

    This year 2 Pakistani movies grossed more than 20CR at the local box office, which was a first. But the main record that was broken this year was that of the highest all time grossing Pakistani film world wide when Punjab Nahi Jaungi bt 45CR gross of Jawani Phir Nahi Aani. Usually, I am the...

    Maalik (2016) - Movie Review

    Banned across Pakistan by the political leadership, most likely for a reason that they apparently thought about after it was banned, for a myriad of reasons. Luckily sanity prevailed and the High Court overturned the decision 6 months later. The film still made 6CR in Pakistan, which was more...

    Shah (2015) - Movie Review

    in 70 years, Pakistan has had only 2 olympic medalists outside of Hockey. Hussain Shah (Boxing, bronze 1988) and Mohammad Bashir (Wrestling, bronze 1960). Shah is a biopic on the formers life. It proves that you don't need a high budget to make a good film, but you probably need one to make a...
