Jawani Phir Nahi Ani

Watched it last night at Cinepax multiplex and man what a laughter ride it was, being Pakistani movie i was expecting it to be some typical copy of some Bollywood flicks but man they took it to whole new level. The whole cast did some awesome job to pull a genuine Pakistani comedy especially the one-liners throughout the movie were top-notch. Although it has some flaws when it comes to costumes i mean what is the purpose of going to that road of Bollywood when you can do it far better without it. One thing which was surprising form me is its music, it was enjoyable with nicely choreographed dances. All in all JPNA is not your average Bollywood like chick flick its original Pakistani entertainment so grab your tickets and watch it.

Jawani Phir Nahi Ani is to date one of the best comedy movies ever made in the history of Pakistani Cinema.

At first I got impression that it is copied from Indian Movie "Masti" where three friends annoyed from their marriages left their places for a ride of Masti and things going bad in the end but it was totally opposite to that.

I can proudly say it is totally Made in Pakistan and keeps you laughing throughout the movie songs are cool and heavy star cast delivered what was expected from them. Now don't waste the time guys get up and watch this treat in your nearby cinemas :)

I went to see the movie here in California, thinking the movie would be a 6-7 out of 10, but once the movie started I couldn't believe how funny the movie was. People literally had tears in their eyes laughing, we couldn't believe some of the jokes could be that blunt. And it wasn't that movie was funny only in parts, it was just hilarious through out. Humayun Saeed I thought had been okay in recent movies, but in this movie he completely changed and did an excellent job. He had real expressions and moves. Movie has a pretty big cast, and all of them did an excellent job. Number one in the list of comedy movies (including Hollywood). So a 9.5 out of 10 for me.

I expected nothing from this movie when I went to see it. I thought it's Pakistani so why not support it. The impression I had of the movie from the promotions was of a mediocre copy of a ton of Bollywood and Hollywood movies. But I had seen two Pakistani comedies recently - Na Maloom Afraad and Wrong No. - which were good so I hoped JPNA was something like that.

But JPNA not only surpassed all my expectations, it surprised me and it took Pakistani film standard to a whole another level (just like Khuda Kay Liye did when it came out, and the same with Waar).

The comedy material of this movie is highly original and entertaining thanks to the writer Vasay Chaudhry. I literally laughed out loud throughout the film. I actually appreciated the song breaks so I could catch my breath.

I was a bit reserved towards the costumes of the women and some of the drinking related scenes/situations. Not because I am not used to it, but because expecting it to be a Pakistani film, maybe it should not go down that road. But all in all what I did appreciate wholeheartedly was the type of comedy it was. Not forceful or sex-oriented, which movies with these type of topics tend to be. It was a good and clean comedy that you can enjoy with both friends and family.

The director Nadeem Baig did a very good job by holding everything together, getting the best out of the actors and making sure the movie gets a grand scale, and the movie paced smoothly, unlike Wrong No. which dragged a bit. It did not feel like or look like a low budget film, also because of all the actors who were superb in their acting and comedic timing. A special mention to Humayun Saeed who you definitely have not seen like this before. He was so good!

Go watch this with an open mind and take it as it is: A comedy film (Maybe more suited for the Pakistani audience because a lot of jokes and one liners are directed towards the Pakistani people, but I believe non-Pakistanis will also enjoy this). Highly recommended.

Great acting and comedy movie. It is better than many Bollywood movies. It is better than Kis Kisko Pyar karoon by kapil sharma. Hamayon Saeed, Hamza Abbasi and all actors did a great job. A very good production and cinematography by ARY films. The story is good and there is flow and continuity in the story. There are no bad patches. The movie does not create any confusion for the audience. It makes you laugh and smile all the 150 minutes. It is a worth watching movie. There are few scenes of drinking which could have been avoided. There was no need of Russian girls in bikini dresses. Music is good and relevant but mostly Punjabi based songs.
