Superstar

So here's my review. First let's discuss story. The first half of the movie was extremely good. It was filled with humor and many moments between Mahira and Bilal. The climax scene was also very good. The storyline drags in the second half. But still it was watchable. I think that there was something missing in the second half. However, the dialogues in the second half were amazing. But still there was something missing like there should be a suspense that now they will meet. They fall in love, breakup and then patch up. It was looking very simple. They could've added some intense scene to make the story intense. Now come to music, the music of the movie was very good but the cinematography, music and choreography of song dharak bharak was very bad as compared to bekaraan ishq which is done with extreme perfection. That qawaali song was very good. Now come to acting. As per acting it was totally Mahira's movie and she mailed each and every single second. Her acting was THE BEST thing in the movie. The change from a simple ordinary girl to a superstar was extremely good. Moreover, her wardrobe, her makeup was perfect. This movie proves that why she's the superstar of Pakistan. Now coming to Bilal ashraf, he was very good. Considering the fact that he's a newbie atm his acting was very good. We can connect with his character. There were some scenes where he lagged but overall his performance was good. Now for NADEEM BAIG I must say hands down. I don't need to write anything about his acting. Perfection. For alizey shah I must say that you're very beautiful and you can be a next big thing if you work hard on your acting skills. But still in her little space she made us laugh. Asma Abbas,Javed sheikh and the one playing Bilal mother's role they're senior actors and they were very good. Now coming to direction, ehtisham ud din, director of udaari, his direction was very good in the first half of the movie but drags a bit in the second half. But it was good. Cinematography was also average that sethi hawali was very beautiful and that song of Atif was shot perfectly. Overall I'm going with 7/10 rating. It's a good movie. Go and watch it. You'll sure have a good time watching the first half. Although second half is also watchable. Go ahead guys.

Only Mahira Khan was the star performer. Screenplay was very pathetic and slow. Only songs or cinematography can't make film hit. Worse job by the director. It was looking like a Hindi remake. Two points Oly for Mahira.

Thank you for making this wonderful move Momina Duraid Productions and Mohammad Ehtasham uddin, the director. Mahira Khan has never looked better. She looks like a vision and dances like a dream. This will be a game changer movie for her. The chemistry of Noori(Mahira Khan) and Sameer Khan(Bilal Ashraf) is out the roof. Their characters are so in sync and effortlessly blended together. Ali Kazmi is great as always playing Shaan. Azan Sami khan, the music and screen play prodigy- hats off. "Inn Dinoun" and "Be Karan" are my jam these days. Nadeem Baig the legend brings such a heart warming character to life. So good to see Marina Khan in a lovely cameo after eons. Javaid Sheikh and Asma Noor Abbas at their absolute best. I really enjoyed "Chutki's" character, her expressions are on point. Not a big fan of "Dharak Bharak!" but the rest are on my playlist. Good luck team Super Star!

The reason why I hated the Bollywood movies is because of the songs thrown in the middle of the movies. It ruins the storyline, and think about it, does that ever happen in real life? Out of blue, a bunch of idiots start dancing? Like why?! Why would you ever put that into a movie?! Secondly, a hero, goes around and start fighting with everyone. Or sometimes, one guy fighting 10 people at once. Like seriously, why can't you be more realistic? And I am amazed that people like that kind of nonsense. Its just shameful to see Pakistani media tries to copy bollywood, which is the worst industry in the world. Better to have no film industry than a worst one.

Not many reviews at the time of writing, most are 10/10. This is most definitely not a 10/10 movie, I gave it 7/10 to say slightly above average but no more. It's not a memorable movie but typical Pak/Bollywood with loads of songs and story and a good enough watch for its Eid release.

Whilst Mahira Khan was clearly the best in the movie, her role almost personifies her current status as the top if not one of the top Pakistani leading ladies. She has the swagger to pull off her role. Bilal Ashraf was good too although not on MK's level.

The songs I won't comment on too much as they're not my forte, Anjaana by Atif Aslam and Noori were probably my favourites. My issue with the songs were they felt like too many and at times made the movie feel like a long music video.

TLDR: good enough movie to watch over Eid.

PS 1/10 reviews are likely due to some political scenes between Pak/India and should be disregarded.
