Umro Ayyar - A New Beginning

The smallest summary I can give for this movie is: "Marvel's Dr. Strange meets Assassin's Creed Brotherhood", though I don't know how many would get the reference.

Pros:

• Nice CGI.

• Good action scenes.

• Decent acting by all, especially Guru, Laqqa & Hamza.

• Good storyline.

• No stupid dance scenes or tedious romance triangles.

Cons:

• CGI, though good, can be improved, like allowing the demon to close his mouth.

• Too many talkative boring bits which can be trimmed.

• Majority of the humorous bits were horribly misplaced. This was my biggest concern. A serious scene completely ruined by a stupid joke!

Overall, a good movie suitable for the whole family.

What a revival of our blend of Harry Potter and Marvel, kudos for that. Definitely a lot of research has been done. Took us back to "Daastan Amir Hamza" and "Tilsam hoshruba" our childhood classics ( if not to 1896 persian/urdu version).

I like following areas: 1. Good story line 2. Visuals 3. Blending with modern time But un necessary comedy is tried to be injected. Fights also not to global standards.

Better if it is splitted into 24 min 11 episodes S#01, than a movie (with boring first hour). In start Amir Hamza darbar, ayyars army, afrasyab etc can be shown. Still excellent work and effort.

From the perspective of the Pakistani movie industry, it's a decent effort, but the film suffers from weak story and character development, tedious dialogues, and lackluster acting. The actors fail to do justice to their roles, making it hard to connect with the characters or the plot. It's worth watching once, though I hoped it would compare to Maula Jutt, but it fell short of those expectations. The pacing drags in many parts, with long, boring conversations that do not add much to the narrative.

Despite these flaws, the movie shows potential, and it's clear that the industry is making strides in the right direction. The visual and technical aspects are commendable and hint at what could be achieved with better scripts and performances. On the bright side, I enjoyed the Deadpool trailer and definitely plan to watch that. Hopefully, future projects will learn from these shortcomings and deliver more compelling content. It's a step forward, but there's still a long way to go for the Pakistani film industry to reach its full potential.

I went to watch this movie on the first of Eid which gets quite busy. Also convinced my friends to go along with me hoping that the movie would be good enough.

I won't say I had hopes of watching something of "maula jatt" level as I had already noticed some shortcomings in the trailer but the movie was a complete flop. There was no proper character development, the acting was so bad by most of the cast ( had some exceptions like GURU, LAQQA and hamza ali abbasi) and there was no point to it.

The fight sequences ughhh... the first fight scene in the park was so badly choreographed that even small youtubers make better sequences than that.

I am student at NUST university where some of the scenes were shot and that added to my excitement but it left me very disappointed.

I am giving it a 4 because of the vfx effects and the effort they put on for visuals, but i hope they focus more on the story if there are any plans of a sequel.

It's the story that has been done again and again although felt abit of Dr strange vibes with a mix of Harry Potter something like that but it's a soild film anyone looking for amazing story telling don't expect it here however if your the type that loves super hero origin movies give a shot although Umro Ayyar is based on a hundred year old novel but the name is only taken from the book and the rest is bran new story set in mondren times. I liked it but it felt like I had something like this before so I hope this sells well but it's up to the consumers. P.s best performance in the film are Faran Tahir, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Manzar Sehbai.
