Featured reviews
This movie had been 10 years in the making and it largely pays off.
The setting is a blend of desi and European culture which is evident with the character names, clothing, food and more.
The art style is obviously inspired by Studio Ghibli but it is unique enough to have its own personality.
The animation during the war scenes are especially breathtaking as the lighting and colours during the explosions are particularly beautiful.
The voice acting is the weakest aspect (I watched it in English, but Urdu had the same issue) but I had expected it from the trailers, however it wasn't terrible.

It was an amazing experience watching this and since it was hand drawn, every single Frame felt like it was drawn with utmost effort. The details were amazing, the voice acting was amazing, the characters, storyline, and everything was worth the time and money.
Altho I overall Loved it and would recommend everyone to watch it, The ending was a bit off.... Like it felt a bit unexpected, as in "Wait what?" But it wasn't bad tho, and I hope they keep on making other such films and maybe even anime series in Pakistan. I'm sure other people would also have a lot of ideas, and with this movie, I hope they gain motivation and make their own movies as well.
Even tho it was the first ever Pakistani animated movie, and hand drawn as well, It was enough to satisfy!

Pretty good movie overall. Many elements that I liked, for example the animation was amazing, especially for something that is produced in Pakistan. Could clearly tell that they put a lot of effort into it, and influence of Ghibli films could be seen. They nailed the glass working part. The animation seemed to be the main focus of the movie. The voice acting was alright, I didn't like the voice actor voicing the female protagonist (I watched the English version, maybe Urdu was better). The story itself wasn't too original, but was alright, and basically just got the job done. At least they didn't try to force tear-jerker moments for no reason. Good, solid movie, which is altogether unexpected from Pakistani cinema, hopefully this is one of many actual quality movies that we release.
Hey I saw the Movie. Tbh it's good for beginners and kids. There is a Special word I can use. "NA ISKA SAR THA NA PAIR"
I know this is the starting for the Pakistan Animation.
Good Review: It's good storyline neat the characters designs are detailed. Storyline was average.
Improvement Review: Thing I learn from Anmies Movie
Musics is missing Voilen can be in melodies add more. War, Fires, Emotions.
Imagine its bombing and next day everyone is happy i mean dude... cmmon
Imagine you are making a movie where is the mixture of War & Love Damn It can be classic but you miss both parts.
If you feel like what complete anmie mean There is An Anmie Name "91 Days, Monster Farming in Another World"
For Voilence "High School God Avg, Hell Paradise Strong Character with Voilence Elements"
For Romance: "Watch Any High School"
Now Lets Come Back
Main Character was weak I know its totally looking like you. But does he have to be weak?
His Mother Memories are missing. Father Role is Totally cracking.
Romance was lit
Now If I recollect what was it. Think Again at the end they both Meet Now Go Above If they have to be meet Why Malik was much greased into this. The character was unimportant.
You can have me on a call there is much that i can't write. Search Mozzam on Insta
USMAN I KNOW YOU HAVE THE FUTURE THAT'S WHY IMPROVEMENTS IS IMPORTANT AS WELL.
I feel you are self centered that has expectations less from others and more from yourself. I don't appreciate it i I have been through this.
BTW If you rewatch this you are really good in the War Senario Specially the Bombing on the City, on Mountains and on Night View.
I would suggest move yourself to the War Anmies. If you feel content is more go for Anmie Side We would love to watch that but we expect some quality things.
The Movie is supported by pakistani community Best of Luck.

The animation was hands-off amazing. The visuals were stunning and appealing, evident of the amount of effort and hark work put into each frame of the movie. The animators did a great job capturing the essence of Ghibli films. The music really brought the viewing experience to the next level, literally got goosebumps hearing some of them.
However... the voice acting could have been somewhat better. The delivery of the dialogues felt a bit off because of the British accent, considering the characters were set in Pakistan. Some scenes felt as if a certain frame was missing, messing with the consistency while some had very fluid animation. As for the storyline, it seemed rather messy and confusing. The theme and storyline could have been portrayed a bit better which would've enhanced the experience greatly.
Overall really enjoyed the movie, would recommend watching it, and really respect Usman Riaz's artistic view and effort on this movie. Creating a hand-drawn animated film in Pakistan is not a small feat and he did an amazing job for such a big project. Looking forward to more of his works!
