Jalaibee

If you ever wondered if Pakistan makes stylish films in the tradition of Guy Ritchie or even Matthew Vaughn, then look no further. Jalaibee is the real treat. It's a caper crime thriller that will captivate you from its topsy turvy opening to its topsy turvy closing.

The plot revolves around two orphan friends who get tangled up big time with one complication after another in a desperate attempt to repay a debt they owe to the local mafia. At the same time two brothers exact revenge on the king of the said mafia. Things go haywire as more characters cross each others paths that leads to a roguish ending.

The score and the soundtrack are cool.The topnotch direction, the stellar cinematography and the wicked screenplay will make you forget the few shortcomings in the acting department.

Trivia, this was the first Pakistani film to be shot with an Arri Alexa. And yes, it also features a Ford Mustang 73.

This jalaibee is crunchy, sweet and tantalizing. Highly recommended for a bite.

This movie was given a very good media promotion prior it's release. The promotion was successful to the extent that people who rarely watched TV knew that when this movie will be released.

I therefore managed to get the 1st day show through some resources and experienced a jam packed cinema.

The movie though, lived up to the commercial expectations. All characters played there part well once compared to their experience in the movie industry. Especially the lead male Danish and his comical partner kept the audience entertained throughout. The comedy in the movie is above average. However cinematography and direction is very good.

The story however is twisted and twisted, mimicking the title of the movie. And for a 2hrs movie , so many twists have lead to complicating a yet good story plot.

The music is overall pretty good however same cannot be said about the songs. The girls cast has also been selected pretty carefully as all leads are pretty, considering a commercial movie.

I personally wanted to see a different ending to what actually happens however, the end of the movie was basically a turn down for me.

Nevertheless, hats off to the entire crew for putting up a good show for their audience considering the experience the while cast and crew had prior to this movie.

A definite recommendation to all those viewers who are looking for a family movie with comedy and a twisted story residing in the subcontinent.

Jalaibee was a fun experience, a film that had everything. A crime caper interweaving around three different stories that meet at the climax. More of a pulp fiction style but considerably less gritty. It had humour action and a perfect ending with a very wise message that short cut in life leads to ruin. I am not going to give any further details however I would thoroughly recommend this movie if you want to be entertained. The visuals were stunning and with great camera work. The background score was great and so were the few songs in the movie. The only negatives were the little wooden acting by Wiqar Ali a Khan which is understandable as his first language is not Urdu and he mainly spoke in English.

Jalaibee Review Waar, Mein hoon Sa, Namaloom Afraad, Operation 021 now JALAIBEE, PK cinema is growing surely. Jailaibee is a mystery thriller with twists in the movie till end!!! A good story but a poor direction average acting and missing background score makes JALAIBEE just an average fair. The movie is about money, Thugs , Robbery . The problem is Jaliabee miserably fails to hold the audience even though the story is really good but not properly handled. If the movie have been properly directed , it must have been a master piece like OPERATION 021. The acting is another big issue apart of DARA others have failed in acting. If proper and professional actors may have hired movie may have done much better. Even than JALAIBEE is one time watch, go for it!!!!!!!!

lets start off by saying that the title has nothing to do with the plot except that the plot itself is the title. The movie starts off in a very traditional manner and continues to do so for about the first 40 mins and till then the film is going nowhere but takes a couple of good twists which were unpredictable and good to see.

Technically the movie wasn't that bad and the director has done some pretty neat stuff, my only problem though was the camera work, it felt like they were trying to pull off something completely new but mostly ended up in some really shitty camera angles, there was also a bit of shaky cam in the start which did not work at all.

The acting was satisfactory in general, Sajid Hassan and Adnan Jaffar did extremely well but Danish and Sabeeka were too bad, Danish was going for that macho Salman khan thing which was well disappointing to say the least while Sabeeka was nothing more than a Katrina Kaif wannabe.

The movie was filled with cinematic clichés and Bollywood humor which is not all appropriate for the Pakistani "family" audience not to mention the completely needless item song, the curse words and the excess drinking scenes. There were some definite sins in there the most prominent being Islamabadi people using Karachi accents and Karachi slang. The jokes weren't really funny and the references were not working.

In conclusion, Jalibee is decent enough movie and is not as bollywood-ish as "Na Maloom Afraad" or "Main hoon Shahid Afridi" and deserves a watch.

My Rating 6/10
