I have been to the premiere of Hassan Zee's new film "Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story" and I was totally amazed. I thought that the movie was very funny and it was very interesting to see the Pakistani culture. I see a lot of mainstream films on Hulu and Netflix and I was so thrilled that I got a chance to see something different and unique. It is a different movie with a totally different concept. You will not find a film like this on regular streaming channel. I also liked the film because it was not only a love story but the filmmaker wanted us to be aware of a very important issue of child labor. It is a major problem and we should think more carefully about it. The story brought strongly this idea. On the other hand, I love the spirit world being introduced in the movie. It was amazing to see the kid's spirits in the hotel.
The film shows that Pakistan has its issues and there is sadness to the story but there is beauty to the film. Besides all the difficulties and less opportunities, there is happiness in the culture. People like to eat good food and dress up colorfully and dance. The film brings a taste of culture, identity and music to the audience. For the first time in my life I was given a chance to be introduced to Pakistani chai, I would love to try it after watching this film. Pakistani Charlie Chaplin was great and it shows that people of Pakistan have talent and skills. They are not afraid to express themselves and they are capable of being artists. The main character Rony was brave and played by a wonderful actress. I thought her English was very good. I saw many other unique things in the film like an old well which draws water from the earth. The good humor, a bit of horror, romance and social problem were blended to make a great "Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story".
Given the fact that the movie was made during the pandemic, a very difficult time worldwide, I'm thrilled to be part of the premiere and see the great production that it turned out.
