Na Maloom Afraad

No words. I mean beyond idiotic. I know these people steal and copy western scripts but this is overwhelmingly obvious Here in this movie. Everything is predictable. They try to make a masterpiece plan which only becomes more confusing and more idiotic. I really don't know rust going on. Even s comedy movie has its base on something tangible something real but nope not here. I challenge any non pakistani cinema affecianado o watch this crap and tell me it aint bad. It looks bad for the entire country if they are celebrating this garbage as a comedy hit. Talk about low standards and getting lucky.

Its fabulous... Super Dooper Hit... This is what u call full-on entertainment... complete enjoyment...

it got everything... a must must must watch...

Pure Pakistani... Superb Camera Work, dialogs and Salute to the Director Nabeel Qureshi for this master piece effort..

Mehwish Hayat was amazing... Dance and all... so does Fahad Mustafa, the great Javed Sh and Mohsin Abbas... and cute Marwa <3

All gave their best... so much comedy... best ever in a Pakistani cinema... songs were good too... not a single boring moment... connectivity was there in the story...

Salman Shahid was awesome as always... what a style indeed!!!

I've watched this movie twice and no doubt this is one the best efforts Pakistani movie makers have made. When you have short budget and limited tech, it is hard to compete with international standards but this movie has crossed those limits and is indeed far better than many of Bollywood movies. All of the actors has performed very well but performance of Javed Sheikh is outstanding. Fahad Mustafa has done also very well and did justice to his role and proved he is capable to handle lead roles.

Two things could have been more better, 1. thrills, there a lot of moments where it could have been more thrillers. 2. Using extras in scene, there are some moments, where common public notices the camera and actors.

From the trailer it seemed like this one's gonna be a hit n a miss. I said to myself "Our guys trying to pull of a Hera Pheri or a Delhi Belly..heck.. I want to check it out on Eid"

As opposed to O21 which appeared another one of those covert op films(which I am definitely going to see later) did not appeal me.. I am glad I chose Na Maloom Afraad. It is not just the title but it is the crux of the film around which it revolves throughout. People thinking of it as Hera Pheri or Delhi Belly(myself included initially) are correct about three individuals stricken with financial crises but that is where the similarities end.

Director Nabeel Qureshi is the kind of the guy who knows what he's doing. If you have seen his short films starring the BNN guys or previously the 4 Man team, u know what I'm talking about. If u find them funny u have seen nothing yet. NMA will make u burst with laughs and mind you there's no stopping them.

Mohsan Abbas Haider is the real star here.. he steals every scene he's in (remember that guy playing Bhagat Sing who used to roam around the Republic in a yellow van). Fahad Mustafa's comic timing is perfect as well whilst Javed Shaikh is the veteran here but I find nothing exceptional about his character, & that's just me..

Salman Shahid reprises his role as the bad guy from the movie Ishqiya. Mehwish Hayat is ur Mahnoor Baloch in NMA and her smoking item no., though out of place, is a feast for eyes. All in all NMA delivers what it promises without a single dull moment in its entire run time.

On the technical side, the film is one to marvel at. From the production value to the film's music to its shots of Karachi are all well handled. The end is passable and possibly the only flaw if felt in the movie which restricts me from rating it a 10 on 10. Btw I am being fair when I rate it a 9.

So.. watch this one, particularly Karachiites as they could relate more with this city's violent history and lawlessness that has engulfed its inhabitants.. Oh and having said dat keep an eye out for the interesting cameos from some of the familiar faces of TV. Hum Network.. hats off for this entertainer!!

First off, I want to say that I didn't have many expectations from NMA considering that it was a film by newbies but 10 minutes into the movie I was awe-struck with the fluidity of it all. Barring the final few minutes, NMA is exceptional.

Many people say that it is 'copied off' of other flicks like Hera Pheri and Delhi Belly. Yes, it borrows some elements from these films but that doesn't make it a copy but rather an inspired venture.

The best thing about this movie is the cinematography. It is brilliant. The camera angles used throughout flick add another dimension to the film. May it be fixed on a box of gulab jamuns or the corner of a rickshaw; the DoPs of NMA have done an exceptional job in making it a visual treat.

Acting-wise I would say that everyone played their roles to perfection apart from Urwa and Kubra. Their characters, specifically Kubra's bank manager avatar, were a tad too weakly acted for the script.

And Billi, how can I miss her? Her sultry item song was a cherry-topping for the movie. I have seen many item songs from across the border and I can safely say that Mehwish Hayat's Billi trumps them all. It is simplistic and yet very, very catchy.

My only complaint with this movie is the ending. In my opinion it should have ended 4-5 minutes before rather than being dragged out like that. It was sort of an anti-climax and looks obtrusively forced.

Conclusively, an awesome film that is well worth the time for the laughs it produces. However, on a note of caution (considering our non-existent rating system), it is strictly not a family-friendly film as some jokes/scenes are quite lurid!
