Daghabaaz Dil

For an Eid-release, I thought this film really hit the mark, especially watching with family! The producers incorporated some important messages about traditional societal values which can problematic, and pretty common in South Asia, so it's great to shed awareness about that.

The movie wasn't too long, and I nothing was dragged out more than it shoud be. I expected it to be cheesy, but was left pleasantly surprised by this film overall. You get to experience a range of different emotions which I'm sure a lot of us can relate to, and I'm hoping this movie gets watched by as much of the South Asian demographic as possible.

As someone who truly appreciates the art of cinema, it's with a heavy heart that I must share my thoughts on the latest Pakistani film featuring Mehwish Hayat, an actress whose performances have consistently failed to impress me. This particular movie, which shall remain unnamed to spare any further embarrassment, was an utter disaster from start to finish.

First and foremost, let's address the elephant in the room: Mehwish Hayat. Frankly, her continued presence in leading roles baffles me. Her age is evident, and it's not just a number-it's a glaring distraction that detracts from any semblance of believability in her characters. It's time for the industry to embrace fresh talent rather than clinging desperately to the relics of yesteryears.

"Daghabaaz Dil" seems to have missed the mark on delivering a coherent storyline, leaving viewers bewildered and disappointed. From the onset, the film promises a simple love story but quickly morphs into a mishmash of genres, lacking any clear direction or purpose. The transition from romance to horror comedy feels abrupt and disjointed, failing to establish a consistent tone throughout.

While the film boasts a talented cast including Mehwish Hayat, Momin Saqib, and Ali Rehman Khan, their performances are overshadowed by a convoluted plot and lackluster character development. The central conflict, revolving around family inheritance and debt, feels contrived and fails to engage the audience effectively.

The introduction of supernatural elements, such as the character Moon being revealed as a 'jin,' adds further confusion to an already muddled narrative. The sudden shift in focus from romantic entanglements to paranormal occurrences feels forced and poorly executed. Daghabaaz Dil" suffers not only from a convoluted plot but also from a lack of a cohesive point of view. The storyline, initially centered around a familial dispute over inheritance and debt, quickly loses focus as supernatural elements are introduced. The abrupt revelation of Moon as a 'jin' and his subsequent involvement in the lives of the main characters feels forced and incongruous with the established narrative.

Additionally, the film's attempts at humor fall flat, with cliché dialogue and exaggerated accents contributing to a sense of artificiality rather than genuine entertainment. The reliance on tired tropes and stereotypes further detracts from the overall viewing experience, leaving audiences questioning the film's creative direction.

" Moreover, the film's failure to establish a clear point of view hampers its ability to engage viewers on a deeper level. Had the story been told through the eyes of the 'jin' character, providing insight into his motivations and struggles, it might have added depth and complexity to an otherwise shallow plot. Instead, the narrative meanders aimlessly, leaving audiences bewildered and disenchanted.

Furthermore, the lack of a coherent point of view exacerbates the film's tonal inconsistencies, as it struggles to reconcile its disparate elements of romance, horror, and comedy. Without a unified perspective to anchor the storytelling, "Daghabaaz Dil" feels like a disjointed collection of scenes rather than a cohesive narrative.

In essence, the film's failure to establish a clear plot and point of view undermines its ability to resonate with audiences, leaving them perplexed and dissatisfied. Overall, "Daghabaaz Dil" falls short of expectations, offering little in terms of substance or coherence. With a lack of clear themes, direction, or genre, it fails to leave a lasting impression and serves as a reminder of the challenges facing Pakistan's film industry in producing quality content.

It is very rear to see such a bad storyline in 2024, where you have ChatGBT. I would have loved to watch an AI updated version of this as the current one is so pathetic that it gets annoying that what kind of crap am I feeding my brain while watching this movie. The only good was in the movie was Raheem Pardesi and Haniya Amir. Rest please delete it.

Not sure why was there over acting, like mehwish hayat's emotions were all over the place, it's not punjab nai ajaonge calm down.

Moving on to poor direction, the director came with tiktok experience didn't know what shots to take where to give cut, whether retakes were required etc. The weak direction is all over the place.

This should be on YouTube as a drama not worthy of cinema screen.
