Actor in Law

1 Hour 58 minutes approx the story telling and punchy lines made me amused ,the intro of all characters is executed very well,the story is very relate-able and consequences occurs are very much near to common man lives. Shan Mirza's dream is to be an actor (Fahad Mustafa)the story amaze you when his struggle goes beyond the limits and Meenu Screwwala stand by him (Mehwish Hayat).Muddasir Sultan (Aly Khan)plays the antagonist in the movie along with Mehbbob Bhai (Saleem Miraj).Rafaqat Mirza (Om Puri)plays the role of the father of the protagonist shan mirza who is not so happy with the profession of his son.The story revolves around these characters the performances are at its best,light romance,fancy costumes and good dialogues movie is full of surprises. Completely Masala Movie.

Well, I am one of those people who desperately urge Pakistan Cinema to revive. So if some movie does not add to that objective I feel sad about it and If any movie is doing good I kind of feel excited about it.

Talking specifically about this movie. There are goods and not-so- goods about it. In comparison to Pakistan movie standards for Direction, it was excellent. Song picturisation was neatly arranged, precise, having aesthetic values. All the songs were surprisingly catchy and fitted very well with situation. The short appearance of Nabil was refreshing and it was good to know that he could dance. The first half of the movie was funny and absorbing. Only for a moment, I felt it was dragging a little but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it. We would not expect Nabil to lack on humor anyway. There are other things though that I will be discussing in the next paras. In addition to the humor, the idea of addressing public issues impacted well and helped in engaging the audience.

Movie after intermission where Nabil needed to take the story to Climax and give us a happy ending, everyone could see what's coming. There was no surprise. In fact, the only surprise was that there was no surprise at all. Still, movie took so much time to reach and get passed the obvious movements.

The script overall did not have required depth in context of movie plot. Only at one point where they were specifically searching for a provision of law the writer does not seem to have subject matter knowledge. How court systems work, what kind of arguments and language is spoken in court of law; where judge should overrule or sustain the objections etc. Anyways we should not be expecting Pakistani movies to be comparable with international movies,where internationally they hire subject matter specialists to aid the writing of scripts and directorial details etc.

Fahad is an excellent actor but Mehwish needs to work on her acting a lot, like a hell lot. And what was Om Puri doing in the movie ??? His work, his dialogues should have been more strong to give an impact to his celebrated appearance especially given the fact that some of the movie posters were Only showing Om Puri. His final punch was too superficial, clichéd and short.If I am director of the movie I would spend hell lot of time and effort to give that scene proper depth, emotional appeal, technical correctness, comprehensive precision and summing up to make the audience awe about the whole movie.

On overall basis, I would recommend watching this movie but I expect better work can be done with the given resources.

One of the finest piece of work Pakistani Industry has ever produced, It highlights the several public issues faced by Pakistani People, Fahad Mustufa has done great acting even in comparison of Hamayun Saeed I would go for Fahad, Mehwish Hayat, The Parsi Character seems to be very authentic. Nabeel Qureshi done proved that he is one of the finest Director Pakistan has got, the songs are good and dance was light, just lacking one thing Action, but being a Middle class man that doesn't fits in. Comedy timing and dialogues were very funny its an complete Entertainment package for Family Audience, the also portrayed major languages and casts in movie like, Sindhi, Balochi, Pashtun, Urdu, Minorities I guess it was the first time when a Parsi character plays a lead role in Pakistani movie which is a good gesture, Keep up the good work.

I never wrote a review before for any movie but after watching this, I have to write one.

May be I watched the best script written in Pakistan ever.

Everyone must be familiar with main concept of the movie through the trailer but this movie is not only about comedy and laughs but also about some serious social issues which has been presented brilliantly by the AIL team. Even you will see some political characters, including a telephonic speech by political leader. Everyone did superb Job. Mehwish Hayat played a brilliant roll in this movie. I guess in next few days it will be hard to grab tickets for this movie. A must must watch movie - 10/10 from my side.

P.S: Even my words cannot define the movie in a proper way

Genius story and extraordinary acting by Fahad Mustafa.

I feel like whoever doesn't watch it will miss out.

The movie is based in Karachi, Pakistan and is true to the culture of the city. It's genuine and heart-warming.

I'd recommend it it to non-Pakistanis too if you're going for something unique and entertaining.

The songs are on point too with Rahat FAK and Atif Aslam.

The standout part of the film has to be the plot. The story is unparalleled. The wannabe actor embarks on a career as a lawyer using his acting skills to be successful. The film takes a sharp turn when the hero's credentials are questioned, although he fought for the masses against the powerful. The hero's acting is flawless and he is supported well by the female lead and the others. There's a lot of comedy that complements the story. The movie appeals to your emotions too and delivers a message. The songs make you wanna dance.

It leaves you with good vibes.
