Arth - The Destination

No effort to use the other actors at all.. Monotonic performance by Shaan as always. Very predictable story.. Direction and Camera Work is horrible.. if properly edited, the film would not be even for an hour.. A half hearted effort to recreate the magic of the original 1982 movie.. The lack of effort is apparent and through out the movie.. Waste of time..

Nice to see a movie with different perspective to life.

Shaan has very good choice for a plot but I hope he learns from his flaws in directing. Beginning has very poor dub lip sinking, and this isn't his fault but the cinema had cut out the women beating scenes. If I paid money I expect to see it, to get with the story.

Excellent filmisation by Shan Shahid with his unique style of creative direction as always. He delivered us the expressions of human life with his unique blend of videography skills. He knows how to capture the emotions and feelings of life with the camera lense intensively and creatively. Thats why he is different than other Pakistani director and producers. He always like to play with lights and shadows in his creations which makes it different. Music was also good.

Shan Shahid: His best non military film in recent years

Uzma Hassan: At last she gets a great role and screen time which is well deserved and well played, from Hum TV Sang e Marmar to various other roles, she has now got and given her best performance

Mohib Mirza: Nice but could have done better

Humaima Malik: Nice but could have avoided the exposure

And last but not the least Ali Azmat: Along with his playback songs, his short appearance with couple of dialogs were too good for me to mention him where ever I will mention this film

Story: 8/10 It has a good plot that tells a well played story.

Suspense: 8/10 Some element of the film has kept the audience eagerly anticipate a resolution.

Originality: 7/10 The film is a remake of Mahesh Bhatt movie as per his consent but some creativity and innovation has been added.

Actors, Cinematography: 9/10 Great job done by most actors

Realism: 8/10 A great film in real world settings despite some unnecessary exposure.

Sets: 8/10 Both local and London scenes are nicely done

Soundtrack: 9/10 Shan is a singer in the film and the songs do justice to the theme, the song Murshid Ji is too good with Rahat Fateh sb himself appearing in it
