Teri Meri Kahaniyaan

Apart from a few truly stellar cinematic films (Maula Jutt, Moor, Manto, Waar, Namaloom Afraad, Laal Kabootar), Pakistani Cinema is confused. Most films are like directors trying to copy-paste a TV drama onto the big screen.

The same is the case with this anthology. They are a good collection of short films, but definitely not for the big screen. The second film was essentially an extended ad for Cadbury Dairy Milk, it was so bad. This should have been a digital release. Save for some excellent cinematic scenes at the end of the third short film, nothing was truly cinema eye-candy.

Pakistani directors should realize that making movies for the cinema is different than making them for the TV/Computer screen. There is a thing called cinematic experience.

Also, Khalilur Rehman should stick to writing cringey, misogynistic dramas.

Definitely not one to be watched in cinemas, see it digitally or on TV.

Zin Mahal had the most interesting premise and plot with some comic moments. It takes on social issues like homelessness, superstition with a touch of humor. All the primary actors delivered good performances. Pasoori was a fun ride, provided much needed light hearted buffer between two intense films and made the viewing experience better. Performance wise again, all the actors delivered specially Ramsha. Ek Sau Taeeswan was intense drama about underbelly of marital relatioinships exploring (in)fidelity with many wordplays in place. Mehwish Hayat's character Sadaf was the driving force, got most of the punchline dialogues and she carried the film well on her shoulders. Wahaj Ali's character Asad was more of a foil and on a listening/realization trip. He had slightly less room for performance and did well with what he had.

The format of three short films was like a buffet in a restaurant and provided interspersing combination of different tastes that I thought worked well for the viewing experience.

We were confused whether to pick this one for a family entertainer this Eid. I still don't know what pushed me to go to this movie, but in short it was worth my 2.5 hours.

From comic horror movie to a laughter filled Marina Khan directorial debut to Khalil sb's well written dialogues in the last one of the 3, this movie kept us thoroughly engaged.

I highly recommend it to those who want to enjoy their time and also want to touch upon the sensitivity of marital relations.

Apart from a few scenes of intimacy in the last one, the movie can be conveniently watched with young kids. In fact my kids laughed their heart out and this made my day.

The film begins with a funny and snappy horrorcomedy called "Jinmahal." Hira, Mani, and Gul-e- Rana all provide excellent performances in the direction of Nabeel Qureshi. It's entertaining to watch.

"Pasoori" is the second film. Unfortunately, actors of caliber such as Sheheryar Munnawar, Ramsha Khan, and Babar Ali are all wasted in this mediocre rom-com.

"Aik So Teeswaan" is the third, and the one I'm here to talk about. A story of two strangers who meet on a train ride. Sadaf's narrative is about a girl who is still looking on the bright side of her not-so-perfect married life, and Asad's story is about a painter and poet who has concerns about his marriage and is smitten by her. As they both discuss their experiences and ideas on their positions, as well as how other passengers are chasing their chemistry, the tale continues. It becomes more lyrical and intriguing as it nears its conclusion, as they each influence one other's beliefs and behaviors.

Wahaj Ali brings Asad the much-needed charm and tenderness in addition to Meahwish's stunning and strong Sadaf. You are captivated by the plot after seeing both performances. A beautifully written story by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, and a flawlessly executed script by Nadeem Baig.

Brilliant acting, engaging stories, nice songs.... U must watch this amazing film.... appreciate efforts by the makers..... Hats off.

Sajin Mahal the first film by Nabeel Qureshi has set the pace for the entire anthology and beautifully acted by the entire cast, not a dull moment.

Pasoori, again nice film, good songs and catchy moments....

123waan, man, words can be so beautiful if spoken brilliantly by Wahaj n Mehwish... Written by maestro Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar sb... Was a treat and rightly placed as the last of the lot...

See Prime.thank you for the film.... Go with the family and friends. You will not be disappointed.
