      Bollywood RIP!!!!!!!!

      Operation 021 , After watching WAAR , this time Pakistan Cinema gets a BRAIN with Beauty of extra ordinary direction. Operation 021 simply stands out way above than any movie ever made in history of Bollywood Cinema. Beware this movie will be hated by gallery viewers who loves movies like DABANG, or a typical pathetic MASALA movie. So if you are going to cinema with a mediocre state of mind like DABANG walla Damagh, than you will be losing and wasting your time and money. The movie is a class and only for those who like serious drama with a brilliant story and screen play. OPEARTION 021 is a story about how secret agencies really work. What USA is doing in AFGHANISTAN, how Pakistan comes into play? How ISI works ? The first half of movie is slow and may be feeling boring, but in second half it blows and especially the ending will be a shocker for you. The direction is top notch, specially the action sequence in the second half is simply awesome. Acting wise everyone delivers a perfect act. SHAAN in comparison of any top actor, again proves that he is a class ACT. Ayub khoso is Brilliant. Shamoon Abbasi after WAAR again delivers a brilliant performance. JAMI must be praised, after showing his class in music video Pal do Pal , sung by Najam Sheraz, Video was first ever made in 32mm format in 1999, proves that he is a great director. His upcoming movie MAA will be another class act. Editing was brilliant the movie length was perfect and edited with lot of excellence. One the best dialogue was ' Welcome to Pakistan , my friend'. So no masala pure drama, no THUMKAS pure performances, go for it and yes BOLLYWOOD RIP!!!!!!!!!!

      i am writing a review because i am overwhelmed by what Pakistanis can do to do something from nothing

      OK first of all. keeping in mind this was one of its kind "Pakistani" movie gives it a very distinctive place in my movie list. the production, post, score,direction, acting, story movie everything was flawless. Jami for his first movie has done wonders. i went alone to cinema to watch it because it was my kind of movie and i was not disappointed. the movie grips you only if you are ready to let the movie take you where it wants to take you. if you are waiting for some ak47 action than i suggest you do not watch this movie. but if you are waiting for a plot to unfold in its own time than this is the movie for you. it has everything that i can find in an internationally released movie. a must watch for movie lovers with a little bit of patience. 2 thumbs up.

      Enthrilling and Bold!

      Operation 021 is a pleasant surprise for the cinema audience. The film makers have simply blown my expectations. What a production! With this feature Jami has outdone himself. This is a true cinematic experience, to behold. The movie exceeded my expectations in terms of action, and entertainment. The editing, sound, score, visuals, direction and action are all top notch.

      The film contains a fine cast of talented actors. What sets this film apart is that it had a genuine emotional heartbeat. The cast is completely engrossing, as they have given such a powerful performance. The dynamic scenes between the actors are so well done, incredibly well written, and impeccably directed by Jami. Operation O21 is emotionally riveting and amazing to watch. During the whole film there is 'never' a dull moment, which is pretty impressive. The entire time I was on the edge of my seat. The movie's action sequences are spectacularly well created and very intense. The dialogue between the character's are intelligent and highly believable. The movie's soundtrack is terrific and really exemplifies many of the movie's scenes which are extremely well tailored and really helped develop many of the movie's action sequences.

      In conclusion, this film is a gorgeous reminder that great writing and direction can enhance a movie experience, even Pakistani movies, which are usually thought of as mindless entertainment. I am wholly satisfied with the O21 team's vision, Azaan's writing and Jami's flawless direction and I thank everyone who worked on this film, for bringing such an intricate interpretation of its entertaining and thrilling literary source. This movie certainly raises the bar from a Pakistani stand point. This is the kind of work and dedication that needs to proceed forward, if we are to revive the Pakistani Film Industry. 10/10

      Welcome to Pakistan, my friend !!

      "We live like this, this is how men live !!" It was class, the flow was awesome, i mean i was amazed the story was so different !! BRAVO !! Actually it was about LITHIUM reserves in Afghanistan and how Americans are trying to steal it because it will be the next Big Thing in the history of mankind after oil and how CIA and other agencies want their Company to get mining contracts and playing Afghans and Pakistanis, also how and why Pakistan is part of this plan of Americans. AND to be honest this movie was for intellectuals not for them who watch and clap in Utho Jago Pakistan or at Bollywood dances !! Level: yea close to Hollywood, no doubt it had lags but it was a great effort !!

      Trend Setter

      This movie is awesome. Congratulations Jaami, Shaan and crew. you guys have done a great job with a trend setter movie for the revival of Pakistani cinema. now everybody is finger crossed on box office matter. It cost you 10 crore, I am telling you get ready to be doubled. Competing Bang Bang is not Kidd thing. Look at your reviews and your ranking. You are going above 8. So keep making films like that, Keep making Pakistan proud, keep helping Pakistani film industry with your creativity and innovation. say bye bye to Indian movies and we'll develop our own proud Lolly wood. SHAAN has become symbol of Pakistani film industry. he said be Pakistani and buy Pakistani.He has got what he was waiting for. In addition to that, there are some cinemas which are unfortunately showing only Bang Bang instead of NMA and o21. This needs to be changed.Anyhow keep rocking and keep working on this cause Good Luck
