Ill admit right now..this is my first Palistani film. no seriously, this is the first one I ever tried out. and Ill admit...it was quite a funny movie. All throughout the movie, the characters were all packing laugh after laugh, and the entire theater was bursting out when it was presented. however, ill be frank..this is the only positive aspect of this film.
The characters are bland cardboard cutouts who we've seen hundreds of times before, like the partier who strikes out with girls,(reminding me of Phil from The Hangover) the workaholic with the terrible girlfriend (reminding me of Stu from the hangover), with the only exception being Moti, played by Yasir Hussain. The only time I've seen a stutter in film was a Kings Speech, except that wasn't used for comedic effect(for the most part).Also, whoever that kid is..someone teach him how to act. seriously, Jake Lloyd would blush, just let keanu reeves teach him, he'd be worthy of it.
the songs were pretty great, but thats all I can really say. (tutti fruity is a guilty pleasure...)however, ill admit If u just play the songs and remove the movie entirely, this would be a much better picture. in fact, I'm gonna download the soundtrack when its released. if it ever does, that is.
However, heres the aspect of the film that bothers me...the character of the girlfriend(yeah, i don't remember any other characters names, sue me..). They keep building her up to be unfaithful, but the only thing she did was not tell him her password. so what if she appreciates a little privacy? they didn't even foreshadow anything. at least show her as somewhat unfaithful ad manipulative so we could actually hate her.

What a summer it has been for the Pakistani film industry, first "Wrong No." and now this. Well look at bright side, it can only get better from here (I guess).
"Karachi say Lahore" fails to offer anything more than poorly placed product(s), a band of actors with no chemistry and yet another needless and inappropriate item song (I mean I know it's Ayesha Omar but "Tooti fruity hoon main, beauty cutie hoon main", it's like they're not even trying anymore).
It was evident from the trailer that this was a very typical script but whats more annoying is the execution. This movie failed on every possible level and is definitely the worst Pakistani movie to come out in these recently past years.
The actors were so bad (especially Shehzad, Ayesha and Ishita), it felt like someone had picked them up from a cheap infomercial shoot and dragged them to this movie and finally the ugly direction was just the icing on the cake.
Other than one good song and one good joke (literally just one), the movie was a complete waste of time and is nothing less than an insult to the Pakistani film industry.

This is the second movie made in Pakistan that I watched. It's amazing. It contain a lot of funny scene, my favorite song "Aaja re Aaja" and amazing screen-shots that I could not imagine were from Pakistan. I voted 10/10. This is family Picture and I think everyone should watch it. This is amazing for me so that is why i'm recommending this movie. Pakistan is going to produced its name in film industry it is one of its master pieces. So everyone is in quest for a terrific comedy that make you cry all over the hall, room or even a theater then go for it. Ayesha Omer, Javed sheikh are the most amazing actress and actor in Pakistan. I can't tell anyone how I was feeling after watching this movie. I think one more time I've to go for it and must watch it.
Highly predictable storyline, but Moti character, his dialogue delivery, innocent face will make you laugh.... a lot..... Worth watching....
I was too excited to watch this movie and of course it was worth a watch. The storyline was not too strong but the acting overall was good (except in some parts). It is great to see Pakistan Film studio progressing day and night but a indeed a great improvement is needed. The movie was quite boring at start but as the time passes interest develops and the jokes were quite humorous and the best thing about the movie was it's constant flow not causing the watcher feel drowsiness or tiredness. Shortly, A good movie about friendship , love and indeed a refreshing story. The movie could be better in terms of acting and storyline. So, Expecting more like this type of (comedy) movies from the Pakistani Media.
