Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story

Once again we have the local treasure , Doc Zee, off to make another off best but worthwhile film. A romantic horror comedy that works on several levels. The very lovely local actors for the romantic part, chainsaw girl and cockroach were lots of fun and there is a subtle understory about child labor in the area. If you love a gory movie, this is not one for you, very little blood, and nice clean romance between the main characters. Not to mention panoramic view of the wonderful countryside.

I thought the movie was very interesting and colorful. The town it was shot in seemed like a small town and it had its own little culture. Music in the film was great. The occult stuff in the film was fascinating. The little boy had a cute face and I felt sad about him. It was a fun adventure to see Pakistan.

This surreal film is a stunning metaphor of life in the beautiful Chakwal, Pakistan. We loved the cinematography even reminding me of Bryce Canyon, Utah, the classical Urdu music and unrestrained creative genius. We want to get the armless boy home. Thank you for a real original movie like nothing else, ever.

This film is a unique and fun blend of cultures from independent film maker Doctor Zee. While the comedy was subtle and sometimes lost on me, the story was poignant and leaves the viewer curious as to what comes next. The love story was familiar but in no ways common. The thriller parts of the film provided a nice contrast to the romance and comedy (that I did get), breaking the film up in an effective way. The comedy that I "got" was clever and worked with the story, however, I feel that a bit of the humor is geared towards people more familiar with Pakistani culture/life. Overall I felt that this was an interesting story that satisfies. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie. Be prepared for a wild ride!

A movie with astonishing scenery filled with thriller and beautiful music, I love the street food scene and the performance of armless boy.
