    The best near to the real situation in Pakistan!

    I think that this movie have a best part of its plot of the story and the act being made by the cast is very well executed.this will be remember for a long in the history of Pakistan cinema.Pakistani cinema will got its tempo with this sharp and realistic story. The Director have a right to be happy with this. Producer also will have got appreciation also. The my favorite is the acting of the cast.this is very sharp and real. The decision of ban on the movie in Pakistan is also encourage the popularity among mass in society.Which have made a sign of interrogative in the mind of Pakistani's that what is in this story which make its very important for government. It's the story and The Panama leak which work together for the Corrupt Govt to make decision for ban on Maaaalik. But it massage is prevailed every where in Pakistan. Good luck cast of Maaalik

    Thumps up!! Bravo...

    At last seen it....and got the reason why it got banned .. Ashir Azeem finally raise a voice on one of the most important subject ...every second or third person in this country is effected by it and that is our corrupt leaders...blind judicial system and police mafia system who claimed themselves our so called gods... salute to Ashir Azeem for making this bitter and yet truthful piece of cinema .. and in the end i wanna ask them... corrupt system so you think you can prevent the truth from reveling it so here it is you banned it and now i watched it...no matter how hard you try it to stop... Truth will always prevail over the forces of the evil.

    A very good attempt

    "Maalik" depicts the true condition and story of Pakistan as it is today and as it has been for the past... since its inception. A corrupt-to-the-core society with the most corrupt bureaucracy, judicial system, police and politicians. "Maalik" is a story of those factors mentioned above. The storyline is very cohesive as is the acting of all the actors. A very mature attempt and "Maalik" has been giant leap in the filmmaking history of Pakistan since "Khuda Kay Liya" (2007).

    A must-watch film for everyone living in today's Pakisan. The story has been concocted like Paul Haggis' "Crash" (2004) where all the characters are from different walks of life but come to a crossroad by the end of the movie.

    Outstanding

    A Master Piece, a must-watch film for everyone living in today's Pakistan.

    Maalik is about war, politics, corruption and most of all about patriotism and taking ownership of one's country. Portrays our society from grass root strugglers to the highest levels of wealth and power. But yes it rose above all the elements and showed us the bigger picture; "take control".

    Four parallel stories moves along, intermingles and by the climax, people were either clapping hard or leaving the cinemas with hundreds of questions in their minds.

    A SSG officer who went through a tragic incident, gets early retirement and starts a private security company with his father, combining his past SSG colleagues on their retirements.

    A pathan that escapes from the Soviet war in Afghanistan after declining to take part in battle and settles in Karachi,with his wife and two daughters.

    A school master who suffers a lot by a Pharohic nature lord and continues to fight for his right while walking on the path of idealism, while that corrupt, coldblooded lord becomes the Chief Minister and unleashes a reign of terror on all that cross his path.

    And finally the SSG based security company ends up becoming a social working company, who will do anything to bring justice to this very society; works under the oath "main Pakistan ka shehri,Pakistan ka maalik hon"

    In conclusion, Maalik is brilliantly made movie; filled with perfectly shot action sequences, heart wrenching tragedies and dirty politics; slick and stylish in quality and impactive in content;

    Its a must must must watch for every Pakistani.

    Maalik gives you something; you never had before.

    After 23 years, writer of the masterpiece "Dhuwan", Ashir Azeem, returns as a debut film director, and yeah, he nailed it. Both cinematically and systematically Ashir Azeem's comeback venture has all the ingredients that makes this film, simply astonishing.
