Karachi Se Lahore

This is the second movie made in Pakistan that I watched. It's amazing. It contain a lot of funny scene, my favorite song "Aaja re Aaja" and amazing screen-shots that I could not imagine were from Pakistan. I voted 10/10. This is family Picture and I think everyone should watch it. This is amazing for me so that is why i'm recommending this movie. Pakistan is going to produced its name in film industry it is one of its master pieces. So everyone is in quest for a terrific comedy that make you cry all over the hall, room or even a theater then go for it. Ayesha Omer, Javed sheikh are the most amazing actress and actor in Pakistan. I can't tell anyone how I was feeling after watching this movie. I think one more time I've to go for it and must watch it.

Highly predictable storyline, but Moti character, his dialogue delivery, innocent face will make you laugh.... a lot..... Worth watching....

Being Pakistani, I should have to prefer Pakistani Movies at first... But after watching the movie Karachi Se Lahore, the frequent below-the-belt humor made it the best movie only for a specific class and not the audience with families liking the genuine comedy and humor which should have been the symbol of a typical Pakistani movie. Other way round, this movie was a good effort on a lighter note and had there been no such one-liner jokes, I would have given it 8 out of 10... as all of clean punches were superb, situational comedy along with soft romance was at its best... role of Javed Sheikh with Khushi was very amusing, although it needed some more focus (like Aysha Omer or that Travelling Group could have known about the existence of Khushi)... However, if we compare it with Maalamal Weekly, Hera Pheri, Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar, Dhol, Hangama (Indian Movies), all have clean comedies. And yet I am not asking the Pakistani Directors to Copy- Paste an Indian Movie but producing a Clean-Comedy Movie... Rest Songs were great, Picturisation was great, Direction was great and acting was also great including Rashid Hussain (except his few sentences)....

Ill admit right now..this is my first Palistani film. no seriously, this is the first one I ever tried out. and Ill admit...it was quite a funny movie. All throughout the movie, the characters were all packing laugh after laugh, and the entire theater was bursting out when it was presented. however, ill be frank..this is the only positive aspect of this film.

The characters are bland cardboard cutouts who we've seen hundreds of times before, like the partier who strikes out with girls,(reminding me of Phil from The Hangover) the workaholic with the terrible girlfriend (reminding me of Stu from the hangover), with the only exception being Moti, played by Yasir Hussain. The only time I've seen a stutter in film was a Kings Speech, except that wasn't used for comedic effect(for the most part).Also, whoever that kid is..someone teach him how to act. seriously, Jake Lloyd would blush, just let keanu reeves teach him, he'd be worthy of it.

the songs were pretty great, but thats all I can really say. (tutti fruity is a guilty pleasure...)however, ill admit If u just play the songs and remove the movie entirely, this would be a much better picture. in fact, I'm gonna download the soundtrack when its released. if it ever does, that is.

However, heres the aspect of the film that bothers me...the character of the girlfriend(yeah, i don't remember any other characters names, sue me..). They keep building her up to be unfaithful, but the only thing she did was not tell him her password. so what if she appreciates a little privacy? they didn't even foreshadow anything. at least show her as somewhat unfaithful ad manipulative so we could actually hate her.

Karachi Se Lahore is the next Lollywood movie released after the blockbuster "bol". Unfortunantely this movie does not live up to the mark and is just a time pass movie.

Plot: Zaheem is a worker at a bank. He has two friends Moti and Sam who are always into partying and want Zaheem to get into this lifestyle but he is always under pressure from his spoiled girlfriend Ayeasha who always nags him for his average lifestyle as she wants a higher reputation man. One day Ayeasha leaves Zaheem for a another man, when Zaheem finds out he is devastated and decides to stop the wedding. Since the air travel is not available, Zaheem persuades his neighbor Maryam and her brother Zeezo to lend him their jeep for to get to Lahore. All five friends go on a road trip from Karachi to Lahore.

Music: The music was overall good. The song "tutti fruity" gets stuck in your head, especially the tune. "Aaja re Aaja" is another catchy song. The rest of the songs were good too.

Flaws: The story was okay, also there was no real comedy in this movie. Moti's punch lines were the only thing that kept this movie going.

Acting: One thing I really liked about this movie was the acting. Every single per son did a really good job. Shehzad Sheikh makes a confident débutant. He has something of his father in him. he was perfect as Zaheem. THere may be some places where he has overacted but he still was good. Ayeasha Omar is flawless. The stages her character had to go through, from tough to sweet to angry to fun. She portrayed all these different phases without a single flaw in her acting. But the star of the movie was Yasir Hussain, he was absolutely outstanding. The movie was completely carried on his shoulders. It was because of this that this movie was watchable. Ahmed Ali was good, even though he overacted at some places he was still good to watch on screen.. Aashir Wajahat was very good he was better than Ahmed Ali and Shehzad Sheikh. His expressions, tone, language also contributed to the film. Eshita Syed is most effective. Javed Sheikh is good in his small role.

Overall this is a time pass movie which is only enjoyable at some points because of the outstanding performance of Yasir Hussain
