Umro Ayyar - A New Beginning

Had been hearing a lot of buzz about this movie, so I decided to check it out. And let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations! The visual effects were stunning, the cast was perfectly chosen, and the story was captivating. The first half did a great job of setting up the plot, with detailed character development that felt just right. Initially, the narrative seemed a bit disjointed, but it soon became clear that this was necessary to build the story's depth.

One standout character was Ayyar Safeer, who started off with a tough exterior but gradually revealed a more endearing side, adding a delightful twist to the film. A shocking plot twist left everyone in the theater gasping. While there were a few minor flaws, the incredible VFX more than compensated for them. The movie wrapped up on a high note, hinting at an exciting sequel. Kudos to the creators for delivering such an entertaining experience!

I went to watch this movie on the first of Eid which gets quite busy. Also convinced my friends to go along with me hoping that the movie would be good enough.

I won't say I had hopes of watching something of "maula jatt" level as I had already noticed some shortcomings in the trailer but the movie was a complete flop. There was no proper character development, the acting was so bad by most of the cast ( had some exceptions like GURU, LAQQA and hamza ali abbasi) and there was no point to it.

The fight sequences ughhh... the first fight scene in the park was so badly choreographed that even small youtubers make better sequences than that.

I am student at NUST university where some of the scenes were shot and that added to my excitement but it left me very disappointed.

I am giving it a 4 because of the vfx effects and the effort they put on for visuals, but i hope they focus more on the story if there are any plans of a sequel.

An exiciting movie to watch. Good storyline with engaging twist s. Storyline is not a no brainer rather links up well with world beyond time and space something that is believable to absorb.

Vfx work is superb. Pakistan cinema needs more on this genre to expand the horizons. All actors performed well. Special mention of Versatile Sanam Saeed, Genuis of Manzar Sebai sb and Farhan Tahir's believable performance. Hamza Ali Abbasi was brilliant too and wish we could have seen him more in the movie.

I would really want that this series should expand further as Umro Ayyar has a rich history and he's a super hero who has been untapped on this massive scale. Kudos to the director and producer of this movie.

A solid 8/10.

What a revival of our blend of Harry Potter and Marvel, kudos for that. Definitely a lot of research has been done. Took us back to "Daastan Amir Hamza" and "Tilsam hoshruba" our childhood classics ( if not to 1896 persian/urdu version).

I like following areas: 1. Good story line 2. Visuals 3. Blending with modern time But un necessary comedy is tried to be injected. Fights also not to global standards.

Better if it is splitted into 24 min 11 episodes S#01, than a movie (with boring first hour). In start Amir Hamza darbar, ayyars army, afrasyab etc can be shown. Still excellent work and effort.

From the perspective of the Pakistani movie industry, it's a decent effort, but the film suffers from weak story and character development, tedious dialogues, and lackluster acting. The actors fail to do justice to their roles, making it hard to connect with the characters or the plot. It's worth watching once, though I hoped it would compare to Maula Jutt, but it fell short of those expectations. The pacing drags in many parts, with long, boring conversations that do not add much to the narrative.

Despite these flaws, the movie shows potential, and it's clear that the industry is making strides in the right direction. The visual and technical aspects are commendable and hint at what could be achieved with better scripts and performances. On the bright side, I enjoyed the Deadpool trailer and definitely plan to watch that. Hopefully, future projects will learn from these shortcomings and deliver more compelling content. It's a step forward, but there's still a long way to go for the Pakistani film industry to reach its full potential.
