Motorcycle Girl

With 2 women-centric Pakistani movies coming out back-to-back within the span of a month, it's hard not to compare the 2. Although "Cake" has been hailed as a realistic portrayal of the modern Pakistani woman, it's actually "Motorcycle girl" that most Pakistani youth will relate to. Where Cake" shows women smoking, dancing at parties, egging neighborhood houses and getting in physical altercations with one another (a.k.a cat-fights) and deems it "Women Empowerment", it's actually "Motorcycle Girl" that depicts the true nature of the Pakistani society, and how the average woman has to deal with her parents, her relatives, her co-workers and just society, in general, trying to cut the legs out from under her, all in the name of "Log Kiya Khen Ge?" The story is a simple and straight-forward one. It's about a middle-class girl named Zenith, whose father died when she was a baby and she's seen stuck in a job where she's underappreciated, in order to save enough money to put herself through college. All the while, she is seen reminiscing about her father and his unfulfilled fantasy of riding up to Khunjerab Pass between the Pak-China border. This is the true story of how Zenith Irfan fulfills that unaccomplished dream of her father's despite her daadi, her fiance and, and her boss constantly drilling in to her mind "K Log Kia kahen Ge?" This is the story of true Women Empowerment. I believe that all Pakistanis and patriarchal society afflicted countries should have their daughters watch this film.

Another brilliant effort from Adnan sarwar. Theres a hero in every one of us.. u just need to be able to identify and execute without any fearadnan.. keep making films..

One of the best films by Pakistani film industry! This film really needs recognition!! A must watch.

Well this movie has far more to give then what you expect. Motorcycle Girl is not about a Girl on a bike trip, but a wonderfull piece of entertainment with a bright and shinny message to better yourself, to chase your dreams, to overcome your fears and move towards victory.

Sohai, a common working class girl who lacks the selfconfidence because of nothing on the back, broughtup by a single parent but with sky high dreams. Right from the beginning ,from the very first scene you can actually see the issues and relate them with every struggling youngster. Her simplicity, nervousness, inferiority complex then the confidence, bravery and all of above courage to strike the world is everything the role asked for.

All the supporting cast including Sameena peerzada, Sarmad, Irfan and Adnan himself were fabulous.

Indeed Shah was good but Adnan Sarwar took his direction to next level. Literally hats off to him. The way this movie works like the spiral of DNA, PAST and PRESENT moving together, never touches each other hence they are constantly together with plenty of particles embedded from the NEAR FUTURE. He showed everything in a perfect way; while watching you can actually relate it to your surroundings; Life in Lahore, in corporate companies with capitalistic enviroment. Males like her boss and fiance who takes women her talent and skills as a property, then Males like her brother and just the imagination of her father who provides them the strength, the support to achieve what you dream, to live a life worthy; not just for you but the people around you. Landscapes of Chillas, Babusar, Passu, Gilgit and then The great China Border; Khunjerab was absolutely amazing. The mesmerizing beauty on screen will give you a glimpse of true Pakistan.

As our industry rose from the ashes, it is highly Recommened to every pakistani. Please watch and support.

Pakistani cinema should focus on making more movies like this one instead of trying to copy bollywood. This movie was an independent movie but, everything from acting to direction to songs was good.
