The Legend of Maula Jatt

Ok I was a bit skeptical going in because of all the hype and drama around this production but I was pleasantly surprised. Simply put- this film has high entertainment value, you will not be disappointed. Without giving away any spoilers, I think Bilal Lashari has done a great job in recreating and retelling an iconic Punjabi-Pakistani story. Having taken inspiration not only from the original Maula Jatt (1979) but also from the Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi's short story "Gandasa". I think this film does an incredible job of bringing this tale to a new generation, while still preserving the original punjabi dialogue. There's always an added pressure on the actors for remakes especially for cult-classics such as this one, however Fawad Khan as Maula Jatt and Hamza Ali Abbasi as Noori Natt did complete justice to the characters. In fact all the actors (save for one actress, you can guess who) gave solid performances. Beautiful score, incredible cinematography, all in all this film is really really wonderfully done.

I've been looking forward to this movie sins I've seen the trailer in August. I never knew it was a remake of the maula jatt 1979. So I watched the original on YouTube which was only good cause of the 2 lead characters maula jatt and nori nath. They pretty much stole the show so I was looking forward to this movie and it was a total blast coming from Pakistan. Luckily I didn't have to travel out of town to watch this movie. Again the lead 2 characters stole the show and the visuals and the story is really good to. A massive improvement from the 1979 movie and everyone should give this movie a try even Indian audiences.

This movie is a masterpiece and will remain one of the best in Pakistani Cinema. The movie is in Punjabi and thankfully it had good subtitles as well. The story, the direction, the acting, the location is just phenomenal. Marvel wasted the potential of Fawad Khan in Miss Marvel. His dialogue delivery, action scenes and speeches in the movie are absolutely amazing. Maula Jatt is not a superhero but the portrayal of character makes him a super hero who will fight against injustice and take his revenge. You will see a lot of good actors and familiar faces in this movie. Mahira and Umaima do not have much scenes as compared to other cast but they were still very good in their role. Gohar Rasheed was so scary and played his role the best. This movie is on a Hollywood level. Nothing larger than life like RRR and KGF. Pure realistic action. Next person to talk about is Hamza Ali Abbasi. He outdid himself. The best character in the movie, his dialogues are too good that you will remember them, His action scenes are great. All the characters are just so good that you would want them to keep on going. When it reached the intermission, I was sad that I have already watched half off the movie. C'mon Bilal Lashari, give us a prequel, sequel and seasons of Maula Jatt. We are up for it. I wanted to watch more of them and did not want any character to die. The VFX was so real unlike recent bollywood movies. The film is filled with violent scenes and too much blood shown. Direction was top level apart from the final blow which had a little impact because of the poor shot/camera angle.

In short, don't wait to watch this on TV. Go To theatres if you like action movies with real acting. The recent movies in Pakistani cinema were horrible. I did not like London nahin jaunga but this one is Paisa Vasool. Don't expect to see songs and dancing. This is a pure action movie from start to finish.

It's a must see movie!!! Very entertaining display of a Punjabi urban legend. For anyone interested in Punjabi movie culture, this movie will be absolute delight. I saw this movie in Sydney, it was a full house and got a standing ovation at the end!!! Although my kids don't understand the Punjabi language, but understood and really liked the move based on the sub titles. Noori Natt was my favourite character, but all the other characters were excellent too. After watching this move I would like to see the original version of Maula jutt movie too. Best of luck to the movie team, i think it will break all records at the box office.
