Jawani Phir Nahi Ani

I expected nothing from this movie when I went to see it. I thought it's Pakistani so why not support it. The impression I had of the movie from the promotions was of a mediocre copy of a ton of Bollywood and Hollywood movies. But I had seen two Pakistani comedies recently - Na Maloom Afraad and Wrong No. - which were good so I hoped JPNA was something like that.

But JPNA not only surpassed all my expectations, it surprised me and it took Pakistani film standard to a whole another level (just like Khuda Kay Liye did when it came out, and the same with Waar).

The comedy material of this movie is highly original and entertaining thanks to the writer Vasay Chaudhry. I literally laughed out loud throughout the film. I actually appreciated the song breaks so I could catch my breath.

I was a bit reserved towards the costumes of the women and some of the drinking related scenes/situations. Not because I am not used to it, but because expecting it to be a Pakistani film, maybe it should not go down that road. But all in all what I did appreciate wholeheartedly was the type of comedy it was. Not forceful or sex-oriented, which movies with these type of topics tend to be. It was a good and clean comedy that you can enjoy with both friends and family.

The director Nadeem Baig did a very good job by holding everything together, getting the best out of the actors and making sure the movie gets a grand scale, and the movie paced smoothly, unlike Wrong No. which dragged a bit. It did not feel like or look like a low budget film, also because of all the actors who were superb in their acting and comedic timing. A special mention to Humayun Saeed who you definitely have not seen like this before. He was so good!

Go watch this with an open mind and take it as it is: A comedy film (Maybe more suited for the Pakistani audience because a lot of jokes and one liners are directed towards the Pakistani people, but I believe non-Pakistanis will also enjoy this). Highly recommended.

10/10....Brilliant Movie, Best Pakistani Mover Ever, Full of Comedy!!!

The story of 'Jawani Phir Nahi Aani' revolves around three best friends who are depressed about their lives owing to their wives and desperately want a breath of fresh air to live.

In the wake of their 'miserable' scenario, Saeed, a US-based lawyer returns to Pakistan to add some masala in his friends' lives.

Also, in the film, veteran film actor Javed Sheikh will be seen as Mehboob Khan while Bushra Ansari and Ismail Tara are also in the film.

According to the Box Office Asia website, which predicts and announces regularly on films earning business on box office, it was stated along with 'JPNA', four films had opened at the box office and after the release 'JPNA; has collected a record breaking number of Rs 20 million.

Early reports about the film indicated it crossed the Rs 15 million but on the first two days after the film screened at cinemas, it earned Rs 20 million owing to the support assisted by cinema's night shows. The houseful late night shows actually helped 'JPNA' break previous records.

Great acting and comedy movie. It is better than many Bollywood movies. It is better than Kis Kisko Pyar karoon by kapil sharma. Hamayon Saeed, Hamza Abbasi and all actors did a great job. A very good production and cinematography by ARY films. The story is good and there is flow and continuity in the story. There are no bad patches. The movie does not create any confusion for the audience. It makes you laugh and smile all the 150 minutes. It is a worth watching movie. There are few scenes of drinking which could have been avoided. There was no need of Russian girls in bikini dresses. Music is good and relevant but mostly Punjabi based songs.

I went to see the movie here in California, thinking the movie would be a 6-7 out of 10, but once the movie started I couldn't believe how funny the movie was. People literally had tears in their eyes laughing, we couldn't believe some of the jokes could be that blunt. And it wasn't that movie was funny only in parts, it was just hilarious through out. Humayun Saeed I thought had been okay in recent movies, but in this movie he completely changed and did an excellent job. He had real expressions and moves. Movie has a pretty big cast, and all of them did an excellent job. Number one in the list of comedy movies (including Hollywood). So a 9.5 out of 10 for me.

This Movie will make you laugh for whole 150 minutes Each and every scene is one of a kind you will laugh your heart out during this movie. Its a complete package. Comedy Action lacks a bit in story but the comedy portion covers every flaw in the movie. All the Actors were complementing each others A bit bold for Pakistani Audience but as they say demand of the script so a must watch Entertainer Go Support Pakistani Cinema and its Revival. There aren't better movies then this in town right now. The movie surely gonna change your mood. Enjoy you EId holiday with Jawani Phir NIH Ani, Support their effort and one more thing You will love the different references from past movies
