Na Maloom Afraad

Went to the cinema today after quite a few days of the film's release with a lot of expectations... and got just that. Brilliantly made, fast paced, great story line, some masala (such as the item number "Billi" ) without ever compromising the quality of the film. And lots of humour. Kept me entertained throughout. Some brilliant work from our Pakistani artists. Javed Shaikh was completely convincing as the stuttering landlord and with many surprising qualities to his personality (as you shall discover towards the end of the film). Fahad Mustafa has come a long way since his initial drama days with brilliant acting. the film makers have done a fantastic job. For long i had been hoping to see a light-note pakistani film. Na maloom afraad gave me just that along with its true-to-life gory and grimy depictions of Karachi's underbelly. Hope to see more stuff from the "filmwalas". Would recommend it fully. *thumbs up*

A Roller Coaster ride starts with a BANG and ends with a BANG!!!!!! This is my opinion as a movie goer after watching Na maloom afraad. Just like a perfect cup of tea needs a right combo of ingredients same is the case with NMA. After watching Operation021 and Nma one thing is obvious that Pakistani cinema has shocked rocked and KNOCKED everyone with a devastating blow of TONS of entertainment which stands away away away above high than any bollywood movie ever made in the entire history of copy cat film industry called Bollywood. Coming towards NMA , the film is about 3 guys, who faces financial issues in their life and try to come out of their financial issues after making numbers of plan. The issue is every plan they make eventually fails, just like Qismat ka jahil. Direction, well while watching movie you will not feel that this movie is made by anyone new kid on the block. No doubt direction is very fine. Acting well apart of Fahd Mustafa and Javed sheikh , the new kid will shock you, just like is Mazaaq Raat, the DJ shows his talent, this movie truly reflects the artistic value of Mohsin Abbas Haider. Apart of direction the music will also give you a surprise. Apart of being lyrical, melodious the shooting of these tracks makes them a treat to watch as well on big screen. As a comedy movie, the movie goer sometimes feel that movie may not have a powerful story but this is not the case in NMA. Veteran Actor Salaman Shahid has also done a very fine role even though this is same role he played in Ishqia 1.5. Funny lines are trademarks of any funny movie, this is where NMA will blow you away. Some are simple some are vulgar some are classical. The females also did a fine job keeping in view they had a limited presence on screen apart of Naina's role. So get ready for a roller coaster ride of comedy, Thumkas, Jhatkas, Dialogues and reality with a bang!!!!!!!

Its fabulous... Super Dooper Hit... This is what u call full-on entertainment... complete enjoyment...

it got everything... a must must must watch...

Pure Pakistani... Superb Camera Work, dialogs and Salute to the Director Nabeel Qureshi for this master piece effort..

Mehwish Hayat was amazing... Dance and all... so does Fahad Mustafa, the great Javed Sh and Mohsin Abbas... and cute Marwa <3

All gave their best... so much comedy... best ever in a Pakistani cinema... songs were good too... not a single boring moment... connectivity was there in the story...

Salman Shahid was awesome as always... what a style indeed!!!

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.

First off, I want to say that I didn't have many expectations from NMA considering that it was a film by newbies but 10 minutes into the movie I was awe-struck with the fluidity of it all. Barring the final few minutes, NMA is exceptional.

Many people say that it is 'copied off' of other flicks like Hera Pheri and Delhi Belly. Yes, it borrows some elements from these films but that doesn't make it a copy but rather an inspired venture.

The best thing about this movie is the cinematography. It is brilliant. The camera angles used throughout flick add another dimension to the film. May it be fixed on a box of gulab jamuns or the corner of a rickshaw; the DoPs of NMA have done an exceptional job in making it a visual treat.

Acting-wise I would say that everyone played their roles to perfection apart from Urwa and Kubra. Their characters, specifically Kubra's bank manager avatar, were a tad too weakly acted for the script.

And Billi, how can I miss her? Her sultry item song was a cherry-topping for the movie. I have seen many item songs from across the border and I can safely say that Mehwish Hayat's Billi trumps them all. It is simplistic and yet very, very catchy.

My only complaint with this movie is the ending. In my opinion it should have ended 4-5 minutes before rather than being dragged out like that. It was sort of an anti-climax and looks obtrusively forced.

Conclusively, an awesome film that is well worth the time for the laughs it produces. However, on a note of caution (considering our non-existent rating system), it is strictly not a family-friendly film as some jokes/scenes are quite lurid!
