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.

I've been looking forward to this movie sins I've seen the trailer in August. I never knew it was a remake of the maula jatt 1979. So I watched the original on YouTube which was only good cause of the 2 lead characters maula jatt and nori nath. They pretty much stole the show so I was looking forward to this movie and it was a total blast coming from Pakistan. Luckily I didn't have to travel out of town to watch this movie. Again the lead 2 characters stole the show and the visuals and the story is really good to. A massive improvement from the 1979 movie and everyone should give this movie a try even Indian audiences.

I haven't been this happy watching a movie in a long long time. No one could do a better and proper cinema revival of Pakistan other than Lashari. The story, character development, and outstandingly implemented screenplay by the creative genius himself. Everything about the movie reflected the perfectionism that went into making this. Can't express my emotions truly to see Pakistani cinema reaching the heights. Main cast didn't fail to surprise but man, was characters like Maakha and Mooda were well written. Thank you for doing this, Team of TLOMJ. This was very much necessary for the love of art and culture. Also, the aura and climate reminded me so much of characters and series like The Witcher and GOT. Without a doubt, it's a 10/10.

This movie is EXACTLY what Pakistani filmmaking needed. Finally, on original work of art that isn't chasing item-songs, or trying to imitate Bollywood dramatism. This is a beautifully shot, and incredibly well written film and I genuinely cannot think of a single complaint. I can't believe I was able to watch this in theatres in Canada. And the PUNJABI!! Hamza Ali Abbassi is LEGENDARY, and Fawad Khan is PHENOMENAL. The actors and their commitment to these roles shone through the movie and everything from the costumes, to the sets, to the dialogue is truly so well done. This is movie will leave Pakistan's mark on the world! The Legend of Maula Jutt: TRULY LEGENDARY!

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.
