Punjab Nahi Jaungi

The scene after the comic "Help Me Durdana" where Mehwish Hayat with her dialogue delivery and top notch acting outshines everyone is the only scene which stands out for a film which everyone was bragging about but Punjab Nahi Jaungi comes with a somewhat already seen story but the same cannot be said for its dialogues where Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar once again redefines himself that he probably is one of the best drama writers but his craft is weak when it comes to unrealistic sequences and really illogical ending.

When it comes to acting you cannot decide who stands out in the film because each and every actor has given his/her full to their characters. Mehwish Hayat simply outhines but the star is Urwa...

This movie is really a treat for cinema loving families. The dialogues are very strong. But the script of the movie is very weak. All the emphasis is on the character Fawad Khagga which is written very brilliantly. I believe same hard work was required to write the other characters, esp. some characters like parents of leading actor and actress are just a show piece. Though with very good cinematography, movie lacks in clarity and is not technically very strong esp. when you perform a song in one voice on two different characters. But one thing is for sure, you leave the cinema with broad smile on your face and with some good dialogues like "help me durdana", "good question" in your mind

Hmm. Definitely a very good movie. I would give this movie a 7.9/10. It got my interest right from the beginning. The ending was very good tho. Overall despite its flaws, the goods of the movie overweigh the bads. The VISUALS were amazing. That is actually what kept me hooked. Coming to the negatives, sometimes, the reasons behind the issues between bride and groom feel a bit overstretched or should I say, not properly given exposition. What I did not like the most is the blaming of and the way CHAUDHRY are represented is not good. In reality, they are not like this. If the same went for let's say May Karachi Nahi Jaon Gi and they explicitly mentioned in the movie about MAHAJAR dada ji, papa ji, and their son. It would feel a bit racial. Hence I would say that when making movies like these, the families or especially there names should be fictional. And that's all, looking forward to The legend of Maula Jut now more than ever XD.

Nice movie with full of funny dialogues. There was houseful here in Doha Qatar to watch this movie. Enjoyed a lot. Acting of Hummayo Saeed and Sohail alias Sohail is awesome. Never Say "Help Me, Durdana" was my fb status after watching this movie. I have never watched such a good movie in Lollywood. You will enjoy!!!!!!

Acting is Superb as Legendary Pakistani Actors have been chosen for the Film (8/10). Screen Play and Background Places are fascinating and attractive(9/10).Good camera work (7/10). Music is Good (6.5/10) but the choreography and dance are poor (5/10) apart from one last rocking song (7.5/10).

A story is a backbone of the movie. Khalil ur Rehman Qamar is one of the best and few writers I like. However, the story of the movie is a sheer disappointment for an extraordinary writer (4/10). The story looks haphazard and without logic and flow.

Too many comedy actors but dialogues are not meeting the comedy standards of Legends like Sohail Ahmed, Saba Qamar, Waseem Abbas, Behroz Sabazwari, and Ahmed Ali But (4/10). I think the writer could take help from these legends to improve the comic sense of the movie.

The writer opened many fronts but fails to fill the logic and Gap. For example, following questions needs an explanation. 1. What is Durdana's end result? 2. What did become of Dairy Farm? 3. Why the Ch. Fawad likes to be beaten by Waseh? 4. Why Amal agree to reconcile at the end?

Overall, Punjab Nahin Jaongi is an average movie (55~60/100)
