Chalay Thay Sath

This was an excellent masterpiece. True to the Pakistan methods of filmmaking this is not your masala film. It reminds one of the award winning independent parallel cinema films which speak more emotions and less words. Absolutely captivating and beautiful. Watch it when you are relaxing with coffee on a lazy day to relax and rethink about life.. very very well made. It's superb to see Pakistani cinema having its own unique style different from mainstream commercial garbage.

Chalay thay saath is a beautiful film and contain every ingredient of a good romantic film. It has comedy, romance, tragedy and good locations. The music is not so good but the light music suits the film. Overall, it is an amazing effort and every movie lover should watch this movie. The film picturized the beautiful northern areas very well and it makes the overall feel of the film more effective.

Chalay Thay Saath is simple.. Simple enough that due to its simplicity, its charm traps you and doesn't leave you until the you leave the cinema with a smile on your face. The main strength of the film lies in its storyline which is by far one of the best love abd family story in a while.. As the rest of contemporary Pakistani films, the makers does not treat the story on a superfacial level, rather it is explored with enough depth and sensibility. Simply brilliant.

Casting is spot on.. All the actors making their debuts shine bright and the Canadian actor the brightest..

The director and the cinematographer both do a masterful job and leave you enthralled..

Watch the film for its simple amd Pakistani storyline, brilliant performances and Pakistani humour which actually makes you laugh.. The films finds it tone in simple scenarios and turns thems into larger than life experiences.. Oh did I mention the soundtrack is amazing too.. Watch it you won't regret...

Pakistani films have come a long way from 'Khuda Ke Liya' released in 2007. This film is an example of the technical, artistic and overall progress made by the Pakistani film industry in the last decade. Surely, there is still some way to go before the average Pakistani films can compete with Holloywood (or even Bollywood).

Chalay Thay Sath is filmed amidst the magnificient scenery of Gilgit-Baltistan. Indeed, the scenery is woven into the plot as the film revolves around a tour group visiting the area's sights. (Note to filmmakers: can we see some creativity in choice of filming locations and move away from the scenery of GB, etc. to other locales within the country?)

The tour comprises of several Pakistanis and one Chinese tourist in Pakistan to visit the grave of his father who died during the building of the Karakoram Highway. During these few days the Chinese man falls in love with a local GB girl.

Although the story develops around the relationship of these two there are side distractions through the pther members of the group, including a mother having problems with her son and a married couple on the verge of divorce.

The plot is weak. The acting? Well, it's getting there but not quite there. The cinematography is good.

The movie is watchable though not worth more than six stars. Pakistanis will enjoy the film but so will non-Pakistanis wishing to get a gimpse into parts of Pakistan's geography.

Note: The fim is available on Netflix in many locations at the time of writing (July 2018).

Excellent, marvelous, great execution

"Chalay Thay Sath" is a romantic comedy with action taking place in Hunza, Gilgit, a province in Pakistan. The film has a peculiar magic to it, and because of its pace the richness of its sense of detail often goes unobserved. Audiences will make generalizations about "Chalay Thay Sath" because of how all those little specifics add up. Film lovers will discuss it with a glittery look in their eyes, as if they were describing their first kiss or a lost love, because something in the film that will touch them, perhaps its theme of dignity and decency, of remembered romanticism.

Great Work for the director as it seems he is narrating this own life story
