The title of this review is sufficient to summarize the entire experience.

To begin with, both lead actors appear far too old for their respective roles. The storyline is highly predictable, you can almost guess each subsequent scene with ease.

The cinematography, however, is commendable by Pakistani cinema standards, with visually appealing locations and decent production value. The plot appears to be inspired by Hitch, albeit told from the opposite perspective.

The direction is rather uninspired. For example, the scene where the lead actress, supposedly living and working in London, does a joyful 360-degree spin and declares it a beautiful day to her friend feels completely unrealistic and forced.

Humayun Saeed: A few words in Urdu would have sufficed "bas kar dein, please." Mahira Khan: The same as above but with double please.

Ahmad Ali Butt: Perhaps the most unbearable aspect of the film. His attempts at humour fall flat, coming across as forced, unfunny and tiresome.

The music is decent, with a few enjoyable tracks, but certainly not timeless. Overall, this is not the kind of film one would choose to watch more than once.

Karate Kid this one has a good plot, but the execution feels rushed. Everything happens in a pro max speed mode, which, honestly, kills some of the fun though it's still not a bad watch overall.

When comparing it to the previous version featuring Jaden Smith, that one remains my absolute favorite.

This latest installment had potential, especially by bringing together characters and stars from past TV and movie series. However, it tried to fit too much into limited screen time. Thankfully, it wrapped up in a single installment; a Part 2 in this "Karate Kid meets Street Fighter" style would have been overwhelming.

For me, the 2010 version remains the best.

Watch this one at your own discretion.

It is quite evident that Kapil Sharma has completely lost his mojo this season. The episodes released so far have been underwhelming, feeling forced and lacking the effortless charm and spontaneous humor that once defined the show. Instead of genuine laughter, the content seems to be stretched thin merely to fill up screen time, leaving viewers more bored than entertained.

Bringing dancing warden, playing musical chair and now ..... shows the lack of ideas on maker part.

As for this particular episode featuring Gautam Gambhir, the title referring to him as "Mellow" is either a failed attempt at humor or an ironic misjudgment, hard to say which. Cricket fans who've followed the sport closely would know that Gambhir's onfield persona was anything but mellow. His career, while statistically respectable, has often been overshadowed by an aggressive demeanor and a tendency to engage in needless conflict.

Moreover, the trailer for this episode features Gambhir attempting to justify his many on-field controversies by framing them as acts of patriotism. This excuse feels not only weak but also deeply unconvincing. Sportsmanship is about grace, restraint and respect, those / such traits that were often absent in his public conduct. Many of his confrontations, rather than inspiring national pride, became moments of embarrassment that no serious sportsman would proudly own.

Episode, big time avoid and thumbs down!
