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.

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.

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.

One of the finest movie Pakistan has made so far. A must watch flick. Gripping story, excellent performances and awesome cinematography made it feast to watch for movie lovers. "Deir se aye per Durust Aye" is the one right word for this movie. This movie will take Pakistan cinema to the next level. Direction was top notch, Fawad, Hamza and all other actors were treat to watch. Action sequences were jaw dropping. Some scenes were even better than Hollywood. In nut shell, this movie is fully "Paisa Wasool" and make you proud on Pakistani Cinema. I will recommend you to go and watch it with your family. ENJOY..!

Bilal Lashari is really talented, he doesn't shy away from violence, the fight scenes are really brutal.

This movie should be tax free, Pakistan film industry really needs support, this movie was delayed for so long, it's most expensive movie Pakistan ever made, should at least cross 100cr. And it might do just that since a lot of people will watch it multiple times, and the audience clapped at the end.

Action, Performances, BGM, Dialogues, Locations everything is perfect.

And good thing movie doesn't have songs in between expect what Fawad and Mahira sing in their own voice for like 45 seconds.

Fawad's transformation made me feel really skinny all of a sudden, this bulky look really suits him, and i could not imagine Fawad in such a powerful role but he really pulls it off. Deserves all the best actor awards this year.

Hamza Abbasi's Noori Natt is menace. His performance will give you chills.

Sequel is unlikely since Fawad won't gain weight again as he faced health issues because he's a diabetic but i wish they make one where Maula Jatt fights tyrants like those old japanese movies Yojimbo, Sanjaro and Seven Samurai.

There are so many scenes i wanna talk about but just go see it yourself, it deserves a theater experience.

Will watch it 2 more times, maybe even 3.

Had a great time.
