It is an amazing and excellent movie after "Waar" great concept with full of an action and thriller with full support of ISPR. 'Shan',
'Amina Sheikh', 'Shamoon Abassi' performed well in this film. Also the location is awesome and worthing. Sound and color (HD) is great although it is the first Pakistani film to be mixed in Dolby Atmos. the story seems to be based on real life.
The amazing thing in this movie is that it has no songs....The music is just in the background.
I think with these type of movies, Pakistani cinemas can make a great income, although we don't need to play Indian movies in our cinemas at all.
Pakistani film industry is increasing day by day.They are running at pace.If government support it then we can make a best movie and we can also go for the 'OSCAR AWARD'.
I want everyone to watch this movie. Thankyou.

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.
"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 !!
After watching Operation - 021, I can proudly say that Yes!, Pakistani Film industry has revived! A well developed, subtle piece of cinema which could be compared to the Foreign cinema. Yes, I felt during the movie that I was watching a Hollywood production with a European touch to it.
O21 is not your conventional commercial movie. It has layers, a depth to it. An art house cinema feel to it. If you lose your focus during the movie because you were too lazy to read the subtitles or understand what the character are saying, it's you to blame not the movie. One thing I loved about the movie is that there was no spoon feeding. Audience should be mature enough to understand what's going on. If you can figure out the possible setting then sorry to say you're not mature enough to watch the movie. Indian Masala movies have seriously ruined everyone's mind. Those atrocious movies have taken away their ability of thinking and analyzing. Cinema is not just for 'Entertainment', It's a much broader medium. If you think watching Item songs and ridiculous action sequences is what cinema is then.....No it's not. Cinema is much beyond that.
Hats off to Jami Mahmood One Motion Pictures and others for brining this movie from paper to screen. I could see the efforts, the great efforts behind it. Direction was brilliant. You can see the potential of this guy and know what this guy visions. Screenplay was compelling, particularly in the second half. Parallel structure reminded me of Alejendro Inarritu Gozalez. Soundtrack was on par with Hollywood. Cinematography was beautiful. Each and every frame was well thought and stunningly shot. Art direction was done with precision and Acting, especially by Ayub Khoso, Hameed Sheikh and Joe Towne were Outstanding. Some of the negatives: There were problems with the dialogues, it was difficult to hear what the characters were delivering and I had to rely on the subtitles. and syncing at few places was out. The fight sequence before the climax was badly choreographed and badly, wish it was up to the mark to make it more impactful.
Overall, An intelligent movie which was definitely not for Commercial films lovers who want over the top songs, dances and action sequences. Anyone who likes a sensible movie would appreciate it. Thanks to Jami and team for bringing this to us. This has started a new chapter in out Film Industry which I hope people would learn from and utilize it in their upcoming projects. Can't wait for Moor and Downward Dog now.
P.S. Do this movie a favour and don't disrespect it by saying 'Samajh main nayin ayi' 'It was boring'. Apni samjh barhao, Movie ko bura na bolo. I hope people change their perspective of watching movies.

.Do you like films that give you lots of "What the F*** moments"? Have lots of action? Lots of thrill? A heavy plot? Are dark? Give you something to think about? Give you goosebumps? Come on Guys.People saying its lame obviously didn't understood.To date it was the most powerful script Pakistan has ever delivered.Unlike Waar which was action driven story and meaningless at the the end. O21 is story driven action and leaves the audience thinking on its ending.Direction and quality is topnotch still better than Waar ,music screenplay everything.The Delivery is beautifully structured over a timeline giving goosebumps every now and then.The only reason a small fraction of people are not liking it is because its bitter truth or some are morons who didn't understand.Not the regular social drama, masala and item song drama that is in demand. For the first time we have our own voice.And it sure as hell is gonna shake some floors.
When the movie ended , I vowed to never watch any Indian or Hollywood movie in cinema ever again.Thats enough to say how good this movie was .Proud Pakistani today
