I had the privilege to watch the movie at a special sneak preview screening of the film. Filmmaker and artists were present there, which made it more joyous event for audience.
Good production by local crew. Every actor (leading & supporting) played their part exceptionally well.
Story revolves around an American girl who comes to Pakistan and is amazed by the beauty & culture of the country.
Landscape of the locations is filmed with great details.
Movie is same time hilarious & horror, serious & funny. You don't find these qualities in a single production.
Though the boy & girl performed really well in their leading characters but the performance of 'Chainsaw girl' and 'Cockroach' is outstanding. Even the names of these characters made it great catch to watch it.
Don't want to spoil the story for you guys.
Makers of the movie put a great effort to bring this project to the silver screen. A must watch.

Through a saturating layer of ongoing prejudices Doc Zee has taken a light story into an abstract thriller that challenges the viewers preconceptions about contemporary cinema and cultural biases. For me the true genius of this film is when you are capable of viewing it as an anti-horror of the present day version of the genre that it is emulating. Modern horror tropes are thrown to the wind as the film instead employs elements from horror's roots. The film has beautiful and immersive scenes depicting the people and culture of Pakistan.
This film is a unique and fun blend of cultures from independent film maker Doctor Zee. While the comedy was subtle and sometimes lost on me, the story was poignant and leaves the viewer curious as to what comes next. The love story was familiar but in no ways common. The thriller parts of the film provided a nice contrast to the romance and comedy (that I did get), breaking the film up in an effective way. The comedy that I "got" was clever and worked with the story, however, I feel that a bit of the humor is geared towards people more familiar with Pakistani culture/life. Overall I felt that this was an interesting story that satisfies. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie. Be prepared for a wild ride!
I thought the movie was very interesting and colorful. The town it was shot in seemed like a small town and it had its own little culture. Music in the film was great. The occult stuff in the film was fascinating. The little boy had a cute face and I felt sad about him. It was a fun adventure to see Pakistan.
I have been to the premiere of Hassan Zee's new film "Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story" and I was totally amazed. I thought that the movie was very funny and it was very interesting to see the Pakistani culture. I see a lot of mainstream films on Hulu and Netflix and I was so thrilled that I got a chance to see something different and unique. It is a different movie with a totally different concept. You will not find a film like this on regular streaming channel. I also liked the film because it was not only a love story but the filmmaker wanted us to be aware of a very important issue of child labor. It is a major problem and we should think more carefully about it. The story brought strongly this idea. On the other hand, I love the spirit world being introduced in the movie. It was amazing to see the kid's spirits in the hotel.
The film shows that Pakistan has its issues and there is sadness to the story but there is beauty to the film. Besides all the difficulties and less opportunities, there is happiness in the culture. People like to eat good food and dress up colorfully and dance. The film brings a taste of culture, identity and music to the audience. For the first time in my life I was given a chance to be introduced to Pakistani chai, I would love to try it after watching this film. Pakistani Charlie Chaplin was great and it shows that people of Pakistan have talent and skills. They are not afraid to express themselves and they are capable of being artists. The main character Rony was brave and played by a wonderful actress. I thought her English was very good. I saw many other unique things in the film like an old well which draws water from the earth. The good humor, a bit of horror, romance and social problem were blended to make a great "Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story".
Given the fact that the movie was made during the pandemic, a very difficult time worldwide, I'm thrilled to be part of the premiere and see the great production that it turned out.
