Very nice film and nice acting by Fahad Mustafa. Best part of film is Fahad Mustafa. The sad and emotional scenes of him are too good.
I watched this movie a while ago on holiday and it was a pain to sit through! Hands down the worst movie I have seen in my life. Slow, painful, nonsensical, boring, and very hard to understand. There was a a lot of potential, they could have made a very entertaining movie with the storyline but unfortunately a failure. Many people left halfway through the movie. I really don't think Lollywood should make biographical films! Good acting by Fahad Mustafa though!
I have watched it once since then lost into the movie tempted to watch it again ... Its not something ordinary but did capture your thoughts like the poetry of Mir ... Too classy and excellent theme work on Mir's life blending in to this generation and the previous too... The more you solve the mystery of his poetry and the idea behind the story the more impressed you will surely get after watching this movie !!! Its a family feast ... A peaceful movie like this makes you forget about real world until climax and even afterwards discussed this with family members and enjoyed the way it intellectually captured us all in a discussion,,, as not every movie has such an impact... loved it !!!
"Mah E Mir" is a story about depravity and madness of love. A wonderful depiction of modern and classical Urdu literature. Irrespective of your nationality this movie will trace your mind if you have a love for serious cinema.
Plot: The film's story focuses on the life of a modern-day poet named Jamal going through a rough patch. The movie tries to draw parallels between Jamal's and Mir Taqi Mir's life with the story jumping from present-day to Jamal's mind as he imagines himself to be Mir Taqi Mir in Lucknow focusing on the trials and tribulations that Mir once experienced (faithfully adapted from Mir's biography).
Star Cast: Fahad Mustafa, Emaan Ali, Manzar Sehbai & Sanam Saeed.
Director: Anjum Shehzad
What's Good: Everything. A story of a tremendous potential perfectly executed by charismatic Persian and Urdu poetry narrations. This movie demands your concentration during the whole time frame to understand the intellect of the basic theme.
Acting Performances: Fahad Mustafa is a great actor. Recently he said in a statement that "He's Salman Khan of Pakistani Cinema". I'm a die-hard fan of Salman Khan but on honest terms, after watching this film I would say that he is a lot better actor than Salman Khan. He's one of the finest artists from Pakistan.
Manzar Sehbai as Dr. Kaleem is the core of this film. Without him, it would be a boring literature class but his acting and narration provide a lot of layers. I loved all of his Persian narrations.
Emaan Ali did a good job as Mehtab. Her looks did more wonders than her acting and dialogue delivery.
Music: Sound Track and Background score were intriguing throughout the full film.
Last Word: It's the best Pakistani Film in modern times. Watch it and let's fall in love with Urdu once again.
