A decent film thats less about horror and more about the psychological effects of Jinns and possession on a family.

The writing was okay, characters were well written but some of their motivations were left unexplained or felt rushed in explanations, especially the rivalry between the mother-in-law and the wife.

The 3rd act felt flat, there was no rise in tension or stakes for the family. The worst was how the movie ended, it felt abrupt and unfinished, there was no closure given to both the family nor the viewers. Overall good watch, nothing extraordinary but a great step in Pakistan films.

I waited a month to watch this movie and I feel stupid. The movie had no character build up and the ending felt so rushed. I got sick of the house shots. It felt like the director ran out of ways to show that the days are passing by. The horrible CGI just made it worst. They could have hired so many talented individuals but they decided not to. The movie had so much potential. Each character in the movie had zero arcs. The storyline was dry and boring. I just wanted to leave. There was no build up. The entire storyline was focused on the mother and it ended with her. They could have ended it in a better way. Just disappointing.

When watching a horror film in Cinema I expect to be scared, maybe not leave a scaring impact on me for days but at least in the move... The VFX was not really impressing, better editing can even be done by YouTubers. But overall not a bad choice, this was the first Pakistani horror film and was definitely not a bad first step. I'll recommend to watch it 👍 support Pakistani cinema in this genre for the people who are tired of typical love/comedy Pakistani films. It had great acting by the old woman, great expressions by her... Faisal Qureshi also played a very nice role, just like realistic, typical family men of Pakistan.

If it was a horror comedy, great effort. On some scenes, we all burst out laughing.

If wasn't a comedy and just horror... A pity.

A non existent story in which you have to make out things on your own because no logic will prevail.

If this movie was 40 minutes long and available on YouTube for free, it would still not be worth watching. Let alone paying 1000 rupees per person and sitting in the theater for two hours.

The male child artist visible laughs in some scenes and it made to the final cut. All the female characters have Botox filled faces finding it really hard to emote. The female lead's weight kept fluctuating throughout the film. Placement of a lot of scenes was unnecessary and made no sense.

Pro tip: never make jinns in CGI. Even Hollywood doesn't do it because it is very difficult to scare people with it. Use prosthetics or don't show but don't show cartoonish funny CGI.

The only thing I'm scared of after watching the film is the state of Pakistani cinema.

It was a good try, some really good performances. Some sequences were gripping but they left it in middle of nowhere.some scenes were dragged so much that they become bore. The storyline was good. But all went nose dive in the climax. They should have end this properly. Samina Pirzada was top notch backed up by the other cast. They should announce the second part of it because there is too much left to tell and they can give it a proper ending if they go for a sequel. Still I would say it's way better than many of the recent Pakistani movies and they should try and explore this kind of cinema more.
