I liked the movie because the director presented all the different aspects of life from happiness to the bitter realities of life. The shots by drone of the mysterious places created horror where nobody wants to be lost. An other thought provoking message which is conveyed that is child labour. It should be stopped Now. The director closely captured the scenes of hustle and bustle of life,beauty of nature and the rich culture of Chakwal, Pakistan. Thumbs Up for Dr. Zee Hassan.
Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story follows the journey of Rony Whiteman, an American who has come to Pakistan to help children enslaved in child labor. With the help of her guide, Ali Ben Hur, she experiences Pakistan in all its colorful sights, sounds, and food. She runs into many eclectic characters as she finds herself lost in Death Valley, running afoul of the Chainsaw Girl and her sidekick Cockroach who run a child labor camp.
The film is a feast of rich colors, slick camera work, and a pumping soundtrack. Especially the first half of the film has shots that evoke creepy hotel shots in The Shining as well as energetic shots that would fit right into a modern music video.
Model and actress, Mareeb Awan, plays a likable protagonist as Rony. She's expressive with an acting range that does well to endear her to the audience. You root for her admire her focus on going to Pakistan to help the children.
Ali Raza is also very likable as Rony's handsome guide, Ali Ben Hur. Mareeb and Ali have chemistry and it's believable that Rony and Ali Ben Hur would strike up a romance.
Marco Jacoby is entertaining as Marco, Rony's exasperated boyfriend. The conflict between Rony and him is the best kind, where you understand where each side is coming from and can understand their points of view.
Ramazan Johnnie as the Hermit, Rizwana Khan as the Guest Manager, and Usman Khan as Pakistani Charlie Chaplin, are among the charismatic and entertaining character actors that Rony meets. The armless boy is a wonder to behold as Rony's guide and rescuer.
Saeed Anwar Jatt as Chainsaw Girl and Ghias Mastana as Cockroach do well as the cackling and bumbling villains. You definitely don't want to be their victim or their guest. Rameez and Tarzan do well as imposing and dangerous-looking thugs roaming the countryside and looking for unlucky travelers. There's a moment with them that actually has you cheering for the Chainsaw Girl.
Writer/Director Hassan Zee makes a cameo as the cheekily named Borak Obamma. He embodies energy and fun, "Americans love to dance!" as he brings his dancing skills to Death Valley.
Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story is a four-quadrant family film with international appeal. The attractive leads will appeal to all quadrants (Males Under 25, Males over 25, Females Under 25, and Females over 25), The premise of an outsider visiting a culture they're unfamiliar with has a fish out of water appeal. Adults will like seeing the culture, music, and all the mouthwatering food. For the ladies, there's an element of romance, but this is also kept family-friendly.
The villains are easily understandable and scary-looking. "You can hate them but love them too as they make you laugh throughout the film." While there are scary moments and imagery, the violence is subdued (no gore) or played for laughs. The audience also gets a break from the tension with the always entertaining Chakwal News duo who check in to give updates on how Pakistan is handling the missing American, 'The Prime Minister is very concerned," they say, showing a suave picture of him. There are several dance numbers and physical comedy to make the audience members of all ages laugh.
Filmmaker Hassan Zee has had international success with his past films and looks to be continuing on that trajectory. Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story, is a tour of Pakistan. Even with the scary characters on screen, one can't help but marvel at the beautiful landscape around them.

Through a saturating layer of ongoing prejudices Doc Zee has taken a light story into an abstract thriller that challenges the viewers preconceptions about contemporary cinema and cultural biases. For me the true genius of this film is when you are capable of viewing it as an anti-horror of the present day version of the genre that it is emulating. Modern horror tropes are thrown to the wind as the film instead employs elements from horror's roots. The film has beautiful and immersive scenes depicting the people and culture of Pakistan.
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 have been to the premiere of Hassan Zee's new film "Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story" and I was totally amazed. I thought that the movie was very funny and it was very interesting to see the Pakistani culture. I see a lot of mainstream films on Hulu and Netflix and I was so thrilled that I got a chance to see something different and unique. It is a different movie with a totally different concept. You will not find a film like this on regular streaming channel. I also liked the film because it was not only a love story but the filmmaker wanted us to be aware of a very important issue of child labor. It is a major problem and we should think more carefully about it. The story brought strongly this idea. On the other hand, I love the spirit world being introduced in the movie. It was amazing to see the kid's spirits in the hotel.
The film shows that Pakistan has its issues and there is sadness to the story but there is beauty to the film. Besides all the difficulties and less opportunities, there is happiness in the culture. People like to eat good food and dress up colorfully and dance. The film brings a taste of culture, identity and music to the audience. For the first time in my life I was given a chance to be introduced to Pakistani chai, I would love to try it after watching this film. Pakistani Charlie Chaplin was great and it shows that people of Pakistan have talent and skills. They are not afraid to express themselves and they are capable of being artists. The main character Rony was brave and played by a wonderful actress. I thought her English was very good. I saw many other unique things in the film like an old well which draws water from the earth. The good humor, a bit of horror, romance and social problem were blended to make a great "Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story".
Given the fact that the movie was made during the pandemic, a very difficult time worldwide, I'm thrilled to be part of the premiere and see the great production that it turned out.
