Na Maloom Afraad

I've watched this movie twice and no doubt this is one the best efforts Pakistani movie makers have made. When you have short budget and limited tech, it is hard to compete with international standards but this movie has crossed those limits and is indeed far better than many of Bollywood movies. All of the actors has performed very well but performance of Javed Sheikh is outstanding. Fahad Mustafa has done also very well and did justice to his role and proved he is capable to handle lead roles.

Two things could have been more better, 1. thrills, there a lot of moments where it could have been more thrillers. 2. Using extras in scene, there are some moments, where common public notices the camera and actors.

Where on earth does a bank locker open with one key only? Why were the guys refused insurance claim? Why do we have to copy Indian movie ideas to fit humor on our current situation? It didn't even fit! How come censor board approved the obscene scenes/ dialogues in it? the title was very different from what they wanted to show. Only arsonists are namaloom ifraad? The title of the movie was just a faint shadow of what the movie should have been. after watching it, I strongly felt it didn't suit the story line at all. Terrible lack of intellectual humor. Even local TV short films far exceed in humor content and humorous criticism than the third class humor in this movie. There were so many useless characters in it. What the heck was 'billi' all about? This movie was only successful in copying Indian movie ideas. Why not copy the title too? The slight effort of connecting plight with reasonable/ required cheating was also a healthy balance.

Na Maloom Afraad is a movie based on current situation of Pakistan including terrorism, unemployment, financial situations of the people etc. Javed Sheikh, Fahad Mustafa and Salman Shahid as Shakeel Bhai, Farhan and Gogi are simply brilliant in their roles. Salman Shahid has got a relative small duration but he is just outstanding as always. Mohsan Abbas Haider as Moon is too much loud and he slips a lot throughout the movie. Urwa as Naina got very less screen space so it is difficult to judge her acting skills on a large screen. Direction has many lapses throughout the movie but the director is successful in creating a good movie as his first project. The climax is good but there are many question left behind in the viewer's mind. Music is good and Mehwish Hayat, doing an item number, is just stunning and she holds the song with grace. I will like to go with 8 out of 10 rating because it is a tight budget movie and is much better than the movie made in our neighbor country. It is a fun watching a Pakistani movie with new faces on large screen. I hope that Pakistani cinema will flourish with this movie.

No words. I mean beyond idiotic. I know these people steal and copy western scripts but this is overwhelmingly obvious Here in this movie. Everything is predictable. They try to make a masterpiece plan which only becomes more confusing and more idiotic. I really don't know rust going on. Even s comedy movie has its base on something tangible something real but nope not here. I challenge any non pakistani cinema affecianado o watch this crap and tell me it aint bad. It looks bad for the entire country if they are celebrating this garbage as a comedy hit. Talk about low standards and getting lucky.

I love this movie, it's entirely made in Pakistan and 100% reflects the Pakistani culture. Also the first Pakistani movie entirely shot with Arri Alexa. cinematography is superb. each and every scene is hilarious. The legend actor Javed Sheikh's performance is amazing. and Fahad Mustafa and Mohsin Abbas have also done a great justice to their rolls. I like the cute romance between Farhan and Naina. I really enjoyed the movie and I would suggest everyone to watch this movie at lease once than decide if it's worth watching again or not, but i am sure you will forget all other boring action movies. The director Nabeel Qureshi, Producer Fizza Ali Meerza, the Actor Fahad Mustafa and Mohsin Abbas reminds me of the Sam Raimi's debut film The Evil Dead which was released in 1981, and they were promoting their movie exactly the same way. There is so much similarity between those young boys and our these young Pakistani's. I wish them all luck and hope that they will be successful in the every next movie they would make.
