The smallest summary I can give for this movie is: "Marvel's Dr. Strange meets Assassin's Creed Brotherhood", though I don't know how many would get the reference.
Pros:
Cons:
Overall, a good movie suitable for the whole family.
Pros:
- Nice CGI.
- Good action scenes.
- Decent acting by all, especially Guru, Laqqa & Hamza.
- Good storyline.
- No stupid dance scenes or tedious romance triangles.
Cons:
- CGI, though good, can be improved, like allowing the demon to close his mouth.
- Too many talkative boring bits which can be trimmed.
- Majority of the humorous bits were horribly misplaced. This was my biggest concern. A serious scene completely ruined by a stupid joke!
Overall, a good movie suitable for the whole family.

From the perspective of the Pakistani movie industry, it's a decent effort, but the film suffers from weak story and character development, tedious dialogues, and lackluster acting. The actors fail to do justice to their roles, making it hard to connect with the characters or the plot. It's worth watching once, though I hoped it would compare to Maula Jutt, but it fell short of those expectations. The pacing drags in many parts, with long, boring conversations that do not add much to the narrative.
Despite these flaws, the movie shows potential, and it's clear that the industry is making strides in the right direction. The visual and technical aspects are commendable and hint at what could be achieved with better scripts and performances. On the bright side, I enjoyed the Deadpool trailer and definitely plan to watch that. Hopefully, future projects will learn from these shortcomings and deliver more compelling content. It's a step forward, but there's still a long way to go for the Pakistani film industry to reach its full potential.

Leisurely experience for me with a matinee at a huge cineplex with five other viewers. I'm sure I'd give it half this score if I'd seen The Matrix. For a Pakistani film, it held my interest quite well. As I was debating a bathroom run, the film helpfully announced a ten minute intermission, complete with a countdown clock on screen. More films should do this. Anything over two hours, given today's attention spans.
Amar (Usman Mukhtar) is an interesting character, a genius professor who also sees apparitions and is the last in a long line of UAs. It's cool to see him branch off into reluctant superhero mode. Guru (Manzar Sehbai) is like a Pakistani Morpheus or Yoda. This gentle and wise sould had a pretty cool vibe that I bought. I kept thinking there may be a romantic subplot with Amar and his fetching daughter, but that never came to pass. The modern portion of the film was like a free travel pass to an obscure country. Half the dialogue was conveniently English. It was nice not having to read subtitles for the entire time. The time was well spent, even though I had no idea what I was about to watch.

Excellent movie. Pleasantly surprised. It is a great package of acting, story, action, humor, engagement and VFX. It's a family movie, you can watch with kids without any concern of language or other elements you want to avoid showing your kid as a parent. It has mild violence but not over done. Loved it totally. Usman Mukhtar was a treat to watch. Well done team UmroAyyar.
Dialogues are powerful. Whole world they have created in this movie is fascinating yet believable. The cameo by Hamza Ali abbas was quite entertaining. Whole cast has performed really well. Kudos to Manzer Sahbai, Ali Kazmi and Sanam Saeed they nailed their characters. My children thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Hoping to see the sequel soon in Koh Kaaf world. Good luck to team Umro Ayyar.

What a revival of our blend of Harry Potter and Marvel, kudos for that. Definitely a lot of research has been done. Took us back to "Daastan Amir Hamza" and "Tilsam hoshruba" our childhood classics ( if not to 1896 persian/urdu version).
I like following areas: 1. Good story line 2. Visuals 3. Blending with modern time But un necessary comedy is tried to be injected. Fights also not to global standards.
Better if it is splitted into 24 min 11 episodes S#01, than a movie (with boring first hour). In start Amir Hamza darbar, ayyars army, afrasyab etc can be shown. Still excellent work and effort.

I went to watch this movie on the first of Eid which gets quite busy. Also convinced my friends to go along with me hoping that the movie would be good enough.
I won't say I had hopes of watching something of "maula jatt" level as I had already noticed some shortcomings in the trailer but the movie was a complete flop. There was no proper character development, the acting was so bad by most of the cast ( had some exceptions like GURU, LAQQA and hamza ali abbasi) and there was no point to it.
The fight sequences ughhh... the first fight scene in the park was so badly choreographed that even small youtubers make better sequences than that.
I am student at NUST university where some of the scenes were shot and that added to my excitement but it left me very disappointed.
I am giving it a 4 because of the vfx effects and the effort they put on for visuals, but i hope they focus more on the story if there are any plans of a sequel.

It takes those stories we grew up loving and gives them a fresh, modern twist, it's a mix of nostalgia and excitement that's perfect for a movie night.
Umro Ayya is like stepping into a classic tale with a cool new vibe. Hamza Ali Abbasi nails the lead role, and with awesome visuals and great music, it's a movie you'll really get into.
Umro Ayyar brings ancient legends back in a big way. There's action, there's heart, and a cast that brings it all to life. It's one of those movies that keeps you hooked, waiting for the next chapter.
The cast is great, the special effects are awesome, and it's got that perfect mix of action and heart. Definitely worth checking out if you're into exciting stories with a bit of magic thrown in.

A must watch.
Pakistan's first attempt at making a superhero movie based on Tilism-e-Hoshruba an Urdu recension of a persian classic the Hamzanama.
In comparison to the best of Marvel or DC I would have rated the movie 5 which is pretty good for a first try. I went for a 7 because of the same reason and the fact that great effort has been observed from the part of the producers and all other people involved in the film and not to even mention the beautiful CGIs. Never thought we would get to see something of this quality in Pakistani cinema but here we are. One step at a time.
It should be emphasised that much more could have been done to make the movie better. Especially in the story writing, story telling and direction department. Characters were unnecessarily expressive at times especially when it came to being angry. Too many borrowed Clichy's, we need more novel ideas than were in this film. Also there was too much English being spoken, should definitely minus that part in the sequel, It is embarrassing how instead of keeping things traditional and culturally relevant there were unnecessary and cringy attempts to westernize things. Aim your things at the regular people and they will come. Instead of bikes could have used a flying carpet. Instead of English could have used Persian, it would have made more sense. Costume design seemed too middle eastern and Mediterranean at times with little basis in south Asian culture and tradition. Usman Mukhtar's character in his fathers suit looked like some ancient roman warrior without the helmets.
Acting by Usman Mukhtar, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Farhan Tahir was the best from the lot but still requires more attention. It was over done at times and underwhelming in places. Also I think, Hamza Ali Abassi's character should be more involved in the sequel if any. He did well. His character seemed much more interesting than Usman Mukhtars.
Nevertheless I would recommend everyone to go and watch this movie, its quite entertaining and unique in the sense that you will never see a movie that is about a superhero but also contains jinns, Ifrits and demons and is rooted in cultural traditional beliefs of the people of that land. Its our duty to help the producers recover the amount put into making this film with aesthetically pleasing visual and CGI also to ensure that they can come back stronger the next time with a larger budget and significant improvements hopefully.

It's the story that has been done again and again although felt abit of Dr strange vibes with a mix of Harry Potter something like that but it's a soild film anyone looking for amazing story telling don't expect it here however if your the type that loves super hero origin movies give a shot although Umro Ayyar is based on a hundred year old novel but the name is only taken from the book and the rest is bran new story set in mondren times. I liked it but it felt like I had something like this before so I hope this sells well but it's up to the consumers. P.s best performance in the film are Faran Tahir, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Manzar Sehbai.

As a child, I had a deep affiliation with the character of UmroAyyar, the cunning and mischievous hero of many old novels. I would spend hours lost in the stories of his daring adventures, relishing every twist and turn of his cunning plots. The character of UmroAyyar held a special place in my imagination, and I was always excited to discover new stories featuring him. Even now, as an adult, the thought of a film adaptation of the character fills me with excitement, and I can't wait to see the beloved character come to life on the big screen.
The cast includes well-known actors such as Usman Mukhtar, Adnan Sidiqui, Sanam Saeed, and Faran Tahir. They have a good reputation in their acting skill and could bring a fresh perspective to the fantasy action genre.

It's a nice experience. Take your children with you. It's a whole family movie.
Do not expect it to be like mola jutt.
But it's not bad either.
The vfx are great.
Every one looks great.
Especially sana, u really enjoy are witchy behaviour and appearance.
Hope so next chapters are more good.
It's more like watching first movies of Harry Potter. You don't get too much from the first movie.
Same goes here.
It's our desi world of magic.
I hope the other coming parts are way more interesting than this one.
But do watch it. Story is not new.
It's going to be a treat.
But do not expect it to be extra marvel type etc.

The movie was very good , it performed as well as expected by trailer. After reading public reviews , I was dissappointed and was not interested to watch it. But I gave it a try and it was worth watching.. The overall cinematic experience was very good . A different concept , the storyline was also good , don't know why people didn't liked the the story . And after all the VFX were top notch . Didn't thought akistani movie would have that much better VFX. Just one thing I was wanted that, in fighting scenes , there should have been some VFX added for visual appealing like fire or lightening with every move, or any interesting thing. Bcz fighting scenes looked a bit boring. But overall it's a must watch!!!

"Umro Ayyar," directed by Azfar Jafri, attempts to bring a beloved historical character from Urdu literature to the big screen. Featuring an ensemble cast including Usman Mukhtar, Faran Tahir, Ali Kazmi, Adnan Siddiqui, and Simi Raheal, the film aspires to introduce Pakistan's first superhero franchise. However, despite its ambitious goals and notable efforts in visual effects and action sequences, the film falls short in several critical areas, making it an uneven and ultimately disappointing experience.
Story and Plot The narrative begins with a promising premise: in every era, 'ayyars' battle against evils. Amar, our hero, portrayed as a physics teacher, discovers a frequency that can repel jins. After an attack from dark forces, Amar is taken to a distant land by a guru, where he learns to harness his inner strength to confront Laka, the ultimate evil of the present age. The story hints at Amar's lineage, revealing his father as a savior of the ayyars who united them against malevolence.
However, the plot suffers from a lack of coherence and direction. Characters seem to lack clear motives, and the narrative often meanders without purpose. Key plot elements, such as the motif (an ancient locket given to Amar by his father), are introduced but never fully explained or integrated into the story. The film tries to pack in too many elements from Hollywood without developing a strong, original narrative of its own.
Characters and Execution The characters in "Umro Ayyar" are underdeveloped and inconsistent. Amar's transformation from a teacher to a superhero is unconvincing, and his powers and abilities are never clearly defined. The evil character, played by Sana, has the ability to turn friends into foes with a simple blow, yet this power's application is erratic and unexplained, For instance, during a fight, her magic affects only one person, while others remain inexplicably unaffected. In the climactic last scene, just as the momentum builds towards the final showdown, it is abruptly broken. Amar suddenly finds himself in a surreal location, seemingly between heaven and earth, where he meets the real Umro Ayyar who supposedly died centuries ago as depicted in folklore. This ancient hero tells Amar to prepare for his next battle against the irresistible magicians of Kohi Kaaf, further disrupting the narrative flow and leaving the audience puzzled.
Supporting characters often show more energy and decision-making ability than the hero himself, undermining Amar's role as the central figure.
The film's humor attempts fall flat, and there is a noticeable lack of emotional depth and character development. This absence of an emotional journey for the characters prevents the audience from engaging with their struggles and triumphs. One moment, a character behaves one way, and the next, they act in a completely contradictory manner, making it difficult to connect with or understand their motivations.
Visual Effects and Action Sequences While the film does make an effort to incorporate high-quality visual effects and action sequences, many of these elements feel derivative and borrowed from popular Hollywood films such as "Harry Potter," "Thor," and "Spiderman." The lack of originality in these sequences detracts from the film's overall impact. Despite some well-executed scenes, the VFX often seem out of place and fail to blend seamlessly with the story.
Dialogue and Conceptualization The dialogue, particularly the guru's explanations in scientific terms and philosophical dilemmas, is overly complex and difficult to follow. This creates a barrier for the average Pakistani cinema-goer, who may find it challenging to grasp the concepts being discussed. The film's attempt to blend science and mysticism often results in confusion rather than clarity.
Conclusion In conclusion, "Umro Ayyar" is a commendable effort to bring a classic hero to the silver screen, but it struggles with an ordinary plot, inconsistent characters, and a lack of emotional engagement. The film's attempt to lay the groundwork for a sequel is unconvincing and feels forced. Despite its high aspirations and some notable visual effects, "Umro Ayyar" ultimately fails to deliver a cohesive and compelling story. The potential for a great Pakistani superhero franchise remains untapped, and future efforts will need to focus on stronger storytelling, character development, and originality to truly captivate audiences.

Conclusion In conclusion, "Umro Ayyar" is a commendable effort to bring a classic hero to the silver screen, but it struggles with an ordinary plot, inconsistent characters, and a lack of emotional engagement. The film's attempt to lay the groundwork for a sequel is unconvincing and feels forced. Despite its high aspirations and some notable visual effects, "Umro Ayyar" ultimately fails to deliver a cohesive and compelling story. The potential for a great Pakistani superhero franchise remains untapped, and future efforts will need to focus on stronger storytelling, character development, and originality to truly captivate audiences.

An exiciting movie to watch. Good storyline with engaging twist s. Storyline is not a no brainer rather links up well with world beyond time and space something that is believable to absorb.
Vfx work is superb. Pakistan cinema needs more on this genre to expand the horizons. All actors performed well. Special mention of Versatile Sanam Saeed, Genuis of Manzar Sebai sb and Farhan Tahir's believable performance. Hamza Ali Abbasi was brilliant too and wish we could have seen him more in the movie.
I would really want that this series should expand further as Umro Ayyar has a rich history and he's a super hero who has been untapped on this massive scale. Kudos to the director and producer of this movie.
A solid 8/10.

After watching film i feel Edit require shorter few clips, SFX are fine but VO is not strong, few scene require film style dialogs but i feel it's been treated as tv drama, VFX are good, duration of the film can be cut over all 30% easy as few scenes are too long make it boring.

This movie has unforgivable forgetful storyline. There is useless extension of the movie in various scenes. Sitting in Cinema and watching this crap became wholesome wastage of time and money. Hamza Ali Abbasi role was pathetic just as himself. Story gives an impression of a Deja vu in the form of cheap copy of The Matrix. Combination of guns with hand to hand combat in a movie made from the stories of Umro Ayyar which were widely read stories gave an immense disappointment to the viewers. People wanted to see those classic tales filmed, instead they saw a crap being shown. Script writeup and story is a complete failure. It is like a packet of chips with only air blown in, with no or very very less amount of chips within. Umro Ayyar - A New Beginning movie, thy name is shame.

I thought the film will be good compared to pakistani cinema but it was so bad even YouTubers are better than this.
Fight scenes are just trash even i make better fight scenes than them on mobile vfx is good but if they had worked on fight scenes and story movie would be blockbuster.
Acting is also so bad they call them actors only Hamza Ali Abbasi's acting was good but others are just trash hero's acting was just a child acting it was so bad if they were making movie with VFX and it was Pakistan's super hero movie they must choose better actors they can use new ones which know acting.
Although film was normal and it was not a film to watch multiple times.
