Story telling was simple yet too perfection. Time spent worth.

Allahyar and the legend of Markhor fulfills many scenarios including being cordial and sympathetic to all other creatures, loving your enviroment and surroundings, creating relationships with wildlife and be loyal to it. I guess this is the first time ever we made something that has a cultural and social amplification regarding wildlife and nature in 3D manner to reach and teach the new generation; the importance of hidden gems, our nature.

The movie is about a kid Allahyar, who is mischievous but a kind kid, with stories of being a protector of the nature in mind, embarks on a journey of life, friendship and destiny.

The vocal artist have done a marvellous job; Anum zaidi, Natasha, Abdul Nabi; they all have outdone there roll by performing astonishingly. The comedy punches by Azfar Jafri as Hero, were the best thing i must say. The movie shows combine efforts of Zaheer khan and the studio artists and graphis designers, who have made a mark in pakistani animation genre.

The beauty that they showen of our northern side, was literally mesmerizing, the views, the landscapes and greenary in terrain was breathtaking, simply loved it.

Several aspects of the movie are well established and tuned while others required more work. I believe they should have used reality synthesizer tech in order make the animated human characters more real and lifelike. The characters needed more refining and development.

But in the end its worth a shot movie for you and your kids. The movie depicts our cultural and social values in a 3D manner, kindly watch it and show it to your kids.

Allahyar and the Legend of Markhor - is Pakistan's first good animated movie, the best thing about the movie is that it depicts our northern culture along side its beauty very well, the film is full of nice little lessons for kids , good one liners which the kids will understand and remember easily, a bit strong in language at times considering the very young audience, but it is ignorable.

The team behind this film deserves applause for picturing the scenic beauty of northern Pakistan with some remarkable connections to a small city life including local shops, houses and the like. With a spectacular visual quality, viewers feel connected to the animated characters through relatable facial expressions depicting their emotions.

Besides Allahyar, who is the main character of the story, animators have marvelously built the story around other prominent animals characters that include Pakistan's national bird, national animal along with endangered species.
