Maula Jat

(sorry for bad English) one of the most popular films in the history of Pakistani cinema , simply best , best portrayed of rural Punjabi culture of 70's, "Sultan Rahi" best fit in lead roll of "Maula" "Nasir Adib" on his best for great in-depth Dialogues , best villain , "Mustafa Qureshi" as "Noori Natt" , much better then 'Sholay's" "Gabbar" , even whole movie is more realistic then "Sholay", so if u like "Sholay" u will definitely going to like "Maula Jat" . highly recommended for anyone who can understand Punjabi in depth. don't judge this movie by complains about violence , this was a 70's Commercial film ,not a documentary ,not art movie, actually this film is a sequel to the movie "Wehshi Jatt". and "Wehshi Jatt" was inspired by an Urdu play "Gandasa" written by "Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi".

No one knows why some films become cult classics but obviously there is something that an ordinary person cannot understand but it rings a chord with everyone. There are many films in the hollywood, bollywood and other film industries. For example, Indian film Sholay, no one expected it to be such a big hit but it became of the cult classics. Maula Jatt like many other Pakistani films of that era looks technically weak but it still became a MEGA hit and slowly achieved a CULT CLASSIC status. People to this day watch this movie, repeat its dialogues and copy its characters. It was about honor, friendship and rivalry at the same time. It was a unique story with exceptional dialogues and breathtaking sequences. This was the start of movies showing gore in Pakistani cinema. Acting was amazing, characters were strong. If you haven't seen this movie, you must watch it once. You will enjoy it if you are a Pakistani. Basically it's a Punjabi movie so if you don't understand Punjabi, it may not make much sense to you. I would say it's a must watch for every Pakistani at least, for the younger generation that may not have seen it yet. For all Fawad Khan lovers, it will be a treat to watch. You can then compare this movie with the upcoming movie by the same name (okay, somewhat similar name) that has likes of Fawad Khan, Hamza Abbasi, Mahira Khan and Humaima Malik.

The writer of the review of this iconic flick forgets the impact that this huge picture has had on generations of Punjabi film fans. Ask any Pakistani and he'll tell you about Maula Jatt. The review misses the irony and the point of the picture. You have to accept its poor production values, it's ham acting, and its violence. Think of Grindhouse and exploitation B movies of the 70'sand you'll get the idea. You have to also remember that relative audience of these films are minute and its amazing they even get made. That aside, this in fact is the third in a series of films and also the most popular. Prior to this was Bashira and Wehshi Jat. The film is fundamentally a clash between two "tribes" or castes who are proud of their heritage and their honour. This idea of honour is a running theme. The Punjab of this film is about doing the right thing even if you have to sacrifice your life. It's interesting how the "gandasa" is depicted. The idea that the gandasa is an extension of Jat's personality and that when forced to the limits, he digs out his gandasa and blood is spilt! Err lots of it. The gandasa represents the fury of the Jat. The menacing performance of Mustapha Qureishi as Noori Nath has to go down as one of the greatest performances of Pakistani cinema. The film is over thirty years old and the classic dialogues are still uttered on the streets of Lahore and elsewhere - "Nava aaye sohinya!" - just cant beat it.

A Notorious person Noori - Mushtafa Quershi play his ever popular role and classic acting and Dialogue. In Pakistan movie history such as film has never cast again. Once in a blue moon. Many cinema in Lahore, Rawalpindi Multan Sialkot and around the country full house nearly one year. Every show even 4 time a day, was full. Many people saw this film more than 4 times. As Indian film Sholay in India break every record and in Pakistan Mula Jatt did the same.Once in a blue moon. Many cinema in Lahore, Rawalpindi Multan Sialkot and around the country full house nearly one year. A Notorious person Noori - Mushtafa Quershi play his ever popular role and classic acting and Dialogue. In Pakistan movie history such as film has never cast again. Once in a blue moon.

I'm an international film viewer and I highly consider acting, logic, dialog delivery, story, screenplay, direction, soundtrack, means whatever is there. This film has it all! No matter east or west, this one is the best of it's kind. If it was ever translated in English then definitely Hollywood will make another movie like this. But if they'll do it I hope they'll definitely should give an attribute to this movie.
