The whole movies was great to watch. The acting of mehvish Hayyat is awesome. The lines are excellent. The superb performance by Fahad Mustafa is treat to watch. Nice to see Om puri, he has done a great job by pulling off the role. A great entertainer. Some special appearance of celebrities made the movie look even better. Must watch a complete Entertainment. Best comedy, great laughter, altogether the film is a must watch. The location showed the old city of lights Karachi, some excellent, popular places are sot beautifully. The time spend at theater watching Actor is Law is worth spending. Highly recommended to watch and enjoy the comedy especially mehvish Hayyatt Performanc is worth mentioning.
Mannn. What a movie. 8/10. Visuals are perfect, Acting is perfect (it didn't even feel like they were trying), the story is also verrrrrry goood. What I like the most was the protagonist fathers acting. DAMN. When he came on screen, he just gripped my attention. Amazing. The protagonist and his future wife acting were also natural and very good. The supporting actors also felt natural. The movie definitely got epic in the last 20 mins. I really liked the reasoning for the final battle and also the protagonist fate. The story is well explained. Coming to the negatives, I would say the 2 or 3 items songs in the movie should have not been included (because they just didn't feel right to be fit in). And some parts of the movie in the last quarter were a bit rushed (but they didn't impact the movie funny enough for me XD). Overall a very amazing movie.
1 Hour 58 minutes approx the story telling and punchy lines made me amused ,the intro of all characters is executed very well,the story is very relate-able and consequences occurs are very much near to common man lives. Shan Mirza's dream is to be an actor (Fahad Mustafa)the story amaze you when his struggle goes beyond the limits and Meenu Screwwala stand by him (Mehwish Hayat).Muddasir Sultan (Aly Khan)plays the antagonist in the movie along with Mehbbob Bhai (Saleem Miraj).Rafaqat Mirza (Om Puri)plays the role of the father of the protagonist shan mirza who is not so happy with the profession of his son.The story revolves around these characters the performances are at its best,light romance,fancy costumes and good dialogues movie is full of surprises. Completely Masala Movie.
Genius story and extraordinary acting by Fahad Mustafa.
I feel like whoever doesn't watch it will miss out.
The movie is based in Karachi, Pakistan and is true to the culture of the city. It's genuine and heart-warming.
I'd recommend it it to non-Pakistanis too if you're going for something unique and entertaining.
The songs are on point too with Rahat FAK and Atif Aslam.
The standout part of the film has to be the plot. The story is unparalleled. The wannabe actor embarks on a career as a lawyer using his acting skills to be successful. The film takes a sharp turn when the hero's credentials are questioned, although he fought for the masses against the powerful. The hero's acting is flawless and he is supported well by the female lead and the others. There's a lot of comedy that complements the story. The movie appeals to your emotions too and delivers a message. The songs make you wanna dance.
It leaves you with good vibes.
