Maalik

A Master Piece, a must-watch film for everyone living in today's Pakistan.

Maalik is about war, politics, corruption and most of all about patriotism and taking ownership of one's country. Portrays our society from grass root strugglers to the highest levels of wealth and power. But yes it rose above all the elements and showed us the bigger picture; "take control".

Four parallel stories moves along, intermingles and by the climax, people were either clapping hard or leaving the cinemas with hundreds of questions in their minds.

A SSG officer who went through a tragic incident, gets early retirement and starts a private security company with his father, combining his past SSG colleagues on their retirements.

A pathan that escapes from the Soviet war in Afghanistan after declining to take part in battle and settles in Karachi,with his wife and two daughters.

A school master who suffers a lot by a Pharohic nature lord and continues to fight for his right while walking on the path of idealism, while that corrupt, coldblooded lord becomes the Chief Minister and unleashes a reign of terror on all that cross his path.

And finally the SSG based security company ends up becoming a social working company, who will do anything to bring justice to this very society; works under the oath "main Pakistan ka shehri,Pakistan ka maalik hon"

In conclusion, Maalik is brilliantly made movie; filled with perfectly shot action sequences, heart wrenching tragedies and dirty politics; slick and stylish in quality and impactive in content;

Its a must must must watch for every Pakistani.

A Master Piece by Sir Aashir, Must watch and worth seeing movie, you will never loose your concentration while watching movie. First day i was not able to get tickets, but just bought in advance for next day. during the movie i was surprised with actions, plot and acting, everything was just perfect, every line of script was related to any other scene just like Hollywood movies, SSG Commandos as they are no 1 in word this movie shows their skills to word in better way, a very positive message, along with weakneses in our political system, toughness in life of SSG commandos, it will just gives you enough info to understand movie.

From the rocky unforgiving terrains and the blue shores of Balochistan, to the monarchal governor house and the skyline of Karachi, every scene was crisp and oozed with imagination and the hardwork put into capturing the picturesque parts of Pakistan.

The theme of the movie deserves a 10/10 keeping in mind the day and age we live-in in this demesne called Pakistan. Acting could do better but still keeping in view that modern cinema is in its infancy in Pakistan which is why this was a big bet movie with a very positive vibe to it. The life of the off8cer is shown to be tough but worth the glory at the end of all the troubles.

A must watch.

I watched this movie yesterday in cinema and found this movie one of the best ever made in Pakistan in all aspects action, emotions, acting and even comedy,without any vulgarity.enjoy this movie with your family a very good source of entertainment.it reflects how the feudalism system in Pakistan have its roots in politics of Pakistan and how they are playing with the emotions of common man in the country, it also reflects how they (politician)play with the law and order agencies and if a common man entrapped in their hands then what will be effects over their families, the storey also highlight the life of army personel.at the end i say every one should watch this movie.

"Maalik" depicts the true condition and story of Pakistan as it is today and as it has been for the past... since its inception. A corrupt-to-the-core society with the most corrupt bureaucracy, judicial system, police and politicians. "Maalik" is a story of those factors mentioned above. The storyline is very cohesive as is the acting of all the actors. A very mature attempt and "Maalik" has been giant leap in the filmmaking history of Pakistan since "Khuda Kay Liya" (2007).

A must-watch film for everyone living in today's Pakisan. The story has been concocted like Paul Haggis' "Crash" (2004) where all the characters are from different walks of life but come to a crossroad by the end of the movie.
