Like the trailer the film was awesome enjoyed every bit of it . The songs were good movie was funny and fun and really kept you engaged the whole time its a bit long but not at any time boring . I urge all cricket fans and in particular Shahid Afridi fans too come forth visit your local cinema and support this film .I want too see more of Mahnoor Baloch in the future . The Item song was too good. What i liked was how beautifully it portrayed the dreams of a young man who wants too embed his hero, It shows how a team should not rely on one player but the entire team. It truly is a work of art and a sign of the revival of the Pakistan Film industry. All i have too say in the end is Peace out and keep them coming.
The reason that propelled me to watch the movie besides its name & alluring adverts, was its rating of 9.4/10 at IMDb. And to say I was pleasantly surprised would not be wrong.
For people who were looking for dramatic displays of bloody fights and a typical scenes like the heroine trying to ?seduce the hero by singing him songs while she danced around him trying to contain her euphoria, this is certainly not the movie for them. The good thing about the script was it never deviated from the story line. Yes, the ending was a little abrupt and the role of the women in the movie was nothing more than 'forced.' However, the purpose of the film was pure entertainment and it did justice to that.
The people who deserve special mention are the young and upcoming actors and the script writer, Vasay Chaudhry for this brilliant piece of work. This surely will mark the start of revival of Pakistani cinema.

To actually see a movie from Pakistan in which actors are talking and not yelling was a pleasant surprise but as the movie progressed it completely blew my mind off for being so real.
The problem with the industry is that no one wants to appreciate a good mainstream family movie – especially from people within the film fraternity. I could hear murmurs about art and intelligence, as soon as I ventured outside the screening. For these self-made connoisseurs of the medium, I only point to the deafening applause the film collected two or three times.
Rather than reading the reviews, you should be investing your time in watching this movie right away at the cinema.

Finally the film producers are sensing potential in the Pakistan film industry but unfortunately, they are still not completely ready to believe in the movie viewer masses of Pakistan. They just made a Masala movie to satisfy the senses of less educated or uneducated movie viewers. It seems the true intellectual effort was not being put into the movie intentionally because they assumed that the movie viewers are still not grown up enough. No real effort was put into any of the departments. Direction, screenplay, characters, editing, dialogs, story ..... nothing was even close to an "average movie" requirements. But if cinemas are really making money by playing foreign movies then one can sense that true talent that truly believes in Pakistani movie viewers will soon be there..
Being Pakistani one can find several moments in the movie to feel connected to and have some sense of enjoyment but as overall this movie will leave no impact. Chennai Express is really dumb and MHSA is much better than that at least.
And ... there is quite a stupid song in the start of movie that might leave you with a feeling that "what am i doing here" , "cant I find a much better nudity in my laptop on internet without paying anything"... don't worry much about that .... that vulgarity is not repeated in the movie and it will be all okay after those first 8 minutes ...

Belonging to Sialkot, I felt a sense of pride at this movie. It was the premiere in the city, and everyone was literally off their seats by the end. The acting, story, cast everything was perfect. It may have been termed as an only for families movie, but it had plenty in the start for the stags to excited about. Mahnoor Baloch, elegant as ever, Humayun Sayed, another fantastic performance. Ainy Jaffri was the surprise package, she looked gorgeous. The story may have been a little predictable by the end, but it was perfect in every sense. It was entertaining at every stage. Way better than the recent Indian Movies. Pakistan Cinema has revived. A must see for everyone in Pakistan.
