Karachi Se Lahore

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)....

I went to watch the movie after hearing that its a good comedy although the story is not that great but after hearing the jokes, you wont care about the story. I reluctantly took the risk and boy it was a terrible choice. The movie was wrapped in terrible promotion of the sponsors. Some scenes are terribly fit in context and the item number of Ayesha Omer was forced into the situation. The movie is a 36 hour journey of 5 people, 3 of them friends and Shahzad's neighbor Ayesha and her brother, who take the journey to patch up Zaheem's (Shahzad) girlfriend who is marrying a cousin in Lahore. There are many major loopholes and the most glaring one is the road on which they travel, its the Mehran Coastal highway instead of the N5. At least they should have gotten that right although i understand the point of capturing natural beauty. The only talking point of the movie was Moti and his jokes which somehow saved the movie. Some of the jokes were actually good and did crack one up. Other than that, everyone's acting was below par. I hope the director/producer learn that the limit should not be crossed while appeasing your sponsors. Verdict: If you really don't care about the story and have enough money that you don't care for losing 500 to hear a few jokes, go for it otherwise you know what i mean.

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.

I was too excited to watch this movie and of course it was worth a watch. The storyline was not too strong but the acting overall was good (except in some parts). It is great to see Pakistan Film studio progressing day and night but a indeed a great improvement is needed. The movie was quite boring at start but as the time passes interest develops and the jokes were quite humorous and the best thing about the movie was it's constant flow not causing the watcher feel drowsiness or tiredness. Shortly, A good movie about friendship , love and indeed a refreshing story. The movie could be better in terms of acting and storyline. So, Expecting more like this type of (comedy) movies from the Pakistani Media.

"Karachi Se Lahore", a laughter roller coaster.

Movie grips you from start, and takes you into extreme level of comedy. The actors in movie did full justice with their characters, Ayesha Omar (Mariam), Javed Shiekh (Tiwana), Shehzad Shiekh (Zaheem), Ashir Wajahat (Zeezo). But the corner stone / lime light of the movie was "Moti" (Yasir Hussain), he takes movie to next level, he is also co-writer. And at last "Wajahat Rauf" (The Debut Director) do full justice with his movie by his skills.

I'll rate main ingredients of movie as cast (9), acting (9), timing of punch lines (10), songs (8), cinematography (8), editing (9), direction (9), script (10). So each department try to put his 100% and succeeded as well. So overall I give 9/10.

Go Watch it for "Moti" and for "Pakistan". Its worth for your money.
