Manto

I have yet to see a Movie that is as thought provoking as this one, and I have seen 1000s of Hollywood and Bollywood movies, but this beats them squarely! The Duel, between Man and Woman in the Title at the beginning was so good that the Ticket was justified in first 5 minutes, all that followed was Priceless! Any Art form and Family life does not go very well, especially if the Artist is dedicated to his / her field. This is another aspect of movie which is emotionally captivating, how Manto struggles to balance his family with his brilliance as a writer. Everyone watching this movie must ask themselves, are we really what we claim to be? Will we be able to stay Human, if we are given a chance to act without fear of Law?

I must applaud the producers for investing in a project like MANTO, for giving Sarmad Sultan Khoosat the time he needed to finalize this masterpiece.

Manto is intense, gripping, sincere, soul-stirring, deep and unforgettable. Sarmad Sultan Khoosat and Shahid Nadeem have pleaded Manto's case with the utmost clarity and honesty. Sarmad Sultan Khoosat wanted this film to 'disturb' the audience and I must say that those people who were not expecting this film to be this intense were truly disturbed by the experience. I, on the other hand did not expect a film based on Manto's life and work to be like any other commercial film therefore I was impressed to watch a very well put together introduction to Manto's writings, why he was not like many other people and writers of his time, an insightful glimpse into his family life and also a deeper understanding of the main motivation behind Manto's writings. Sarmad Sultan Khoosat has definitely made me understand Manto and after watching the film I am convinced that Manto was just as flawed and as much of a human as anyone else but he was not a hypocrite.

All of Manto's stories which have been narrated in the film have been translated on screen in an impeccable manner. Every single narrative is touching and different from the other. Most of them focus on men and women's relationships with each other and how society perceives women. There is a good reason why it took Sarmad Khoosat two years to edit this film – Manto covers every aspect of Manto's life.

Overall Manto is pure genius; it deserves to be watched over and over again. All the songs in the film have been beautifully sung and composed and have some relevance or the other to the happenings in the film. All these songs are a tribute to some of the most admired poets in Urdu literature. This film was definitely worth the wait!

One world Manto Zindabad.. The Story Is so beautifully Craft You Get To Understand Manto Mind Why He Is Writing That Truthfull Stuff While Almost Everyone Opossing it.

It started with a ride which took me to mesmerizing experience and i couldn't leave my seat evening after the movie ended hoping to see more if possible.Its been 5th day since i saw it and i am already itching to watch it again.cinematography was excellent and lighting was perfect changing with characters, ambiance and intensity . Editing was superb as i coudln't point out single lapse.Acting was out of the world specially Sarmad Sultan Khoosat played character of his lifetime,didn't tried more or less just a perfect blend.Saba Qamar did excellent show,Sania Saeed as always best among the ladies. The short stories of Manto were portrayed with such and ease and intensity at the same time that pelt hard against your aesthetics.

MANTO is intense & dark just as his life and his stories were. It is a set of nicely arranged stories that he wrote running simultaneously with the incidents occurred to him in his life. The most important thing about this biopic is that it has all the spice for those who know ‪#‎MANTO‬ already and for those who have read him using the wide spectrum of intellect and it has NOTHING for those who don't have anything to do with reading or watching hard hitting written materials and the people who pen down such pieces. So no problem if you are the one who is looking for a power packed fun package, go for something else. There are many other movies being shown and they are looking fine too. Lastly, just one thing to say, hats off to ‪#‎Sarmad‬ & team for such a brilliant piece of work.
