No one knows why some films become cult classics but obviously there is something that an ordinary person cannot understand but it rings a chord with everyone. There are many films in the hollywood, bollywood and other film industries. For example, Indian film Sholay, no one expected it to be such a big hit but it became of the cult classics. Maula Jatt like many other Pakistani films of that era looks technically weak but it still became a MEGA hit and slowly achieved a CULT CLASSIC status. People to this day watch this movie, repeat its dialogues and copy its characters. It was about honor, friendship and rivalry at the same time. It was a unique story with exceptional dialogues and breathtaking sequences. This was the start of movies showing gore in Pakistani cinema. Acting was amazing, characters were strong. If you haven't seen this movie, you must watch it once. You will enjoy it if you are a Pakistani. Basically it's a Punjabi movie so if you don't understand Punjabi, it may not make much sense to you. I would say it's a must watch for every Pakistani at least, for the younger generation that may not have seen it yet. For all Fawad Khan lovers, it will be a treat to watch. You can then compare this movie with the upcoming movie by the same name (okay, somewhat similar name) that has likes of Fawad Khan, Hamza Abbasi, Mahira Khan and Humaima Malik.

I saw this movie when it came out 30 odd years ago, I was only a child and remember being blown away by it. It was all the rage and even now when I watch it it remains fresh. One of those movies you can watch repeatedly and never get bored.

The Late great Sultan Rahi was at his absolute peak when this movie was released, Mustafa Qureshi's Noori Nath was arguably an even better character much like Gabbar Singh blew everybody else away in Sholay.

Without question the best movie to ever come out of Pakistan. Great songs coupled with astounding dialogue that elevates this movie to a pedestal few, if any can touch, just as Sholay does in India. Most fans can quote the entire movie from memory.

If there is only one Pakistani movie you will ever watch in your life, make it this one.

The writer of the review of this iconic flick forgets the impact that this huge picture has had on generations of Punjabi film fans. Ask any Pakistani and he'll tell you about Maula Jatt. The review misses the irony and the point of the picture. You have to accept its poor production values, it's ham acting, and its violence. Think of Grindhouse and exploitation B movies of the 70'sand you'll get the idea. You have to also remember that relative audience of these films are minute and its amazing they even get made. That aside, this in fact is the third in a series of films and also the most popular. Prior to this was Bashira and Wehshi Jat. The film is fundamentally a clash between two "tribes" or castes who are proud of their heritage and their honour. This idea of honour is a running theme. The Punjab of this film is about doing the right thing even if you have to sacrifice your life. It's interesting how the "gandasa" is depicted. The idea that the gandasa is an extension of Jat's personality and that when forced to the limits, he digs out his gandasa and blood is spilt! Err lots of it. The gandasa represents the fury of the Jat. The menacing performance of Mustapha Qureishi as Noori Nath has to go down as one of the greatest performances of Pakistani cinema. The film is over thirty years old and the classic dialogues are still uttered on the streets of Lahore and elsewhere - "Nava aaye sohinya!" - just cant beat it.

Full on classic dialogues, loved the fact there were no songs. All characters played the roles well. Definitely a good watch. The action scenes were fantastic. The cinematography excellent. It was a mix of an epic like gladiator and a western. The punjabi is hard core. So you have to really listen carefully if your not a punjabi speaker. Noori Nath was the best character for me all of his dialogues were super entertaining. Lots of blood shed and throat cutting. Definitely go watch the movie as credit should be given where it is deserved. Well done Bilal Lashari, SuperJob. I might go watch it again!!
