Manto

It started with a ride which took me to mesmerizing experience and i couldn't leave my seat evening after the movie ended hoping to see more if possible.Its been 5th day since i saw it and i am already itching to watch it again.cinematography was excellent and lighting was perfect changing with characters, ambiance and intensity . Editing was superb as i coudln't point out single lapse.Acting was out of the world specially Sarmad Sultan Khoosat played character of his lifetime,didn't tried more or less just a perfect blend.Saba Qamar did excellent show,Sania Saeed as always best among the ladies. The short stories of Manto were portrayed with such and ease and intensity at the same time that pelt hard against your aesthetics.

I have yet to see a Movie that is as thought provoking as this one, and I have seen 1000s of Hollywood and Bollywood movies, but this beats them squarely! The Duel, between Man and Woman in the Title at the beginning was so good that the Ticket was justified in first 5 minutes, all that followed was Priceless! Any Art form and Family life does not go very well, especially if the Artist is dedicated to his / her field. This is another aspect of movie which is emotionally captivating, how Manto struggles to balance his family with his brilliance as a writer. Everyone watching this movie must ask themselves, are we really what we claim to be? Will we be able to stay Human, if we are given a chance to act without fear of Law?

One world Manto Zindabad.. The Story Is so beautifully Craft You Get To Understand Manto Mind Why He Is Writing That Truthfull Stuff While Almost Everyone Opossing it.

Manto deserves standing ovation. As its a rise of our industry from ashes, such an epic biopic has made its own spot in the genre of drama when it is the age of commercial movies.

Manto is Bold. It has drama, love, empathy and tragedy wrapped in a harsh dark realities of our society plus the artists, poets & writers & their financial, personal & professional issues when the work a little off stream in the subcontinent. Hats off to Sarmad. Sarmad Khosat reveals awesome acting abilities in portraying Manto. He did justice to some complicated character of a writer, alcoholic, smoker & a liver patient that could be a haunting job for some other performers. No one can spot that it was his debut on big screen. He made Manto's misery believable.

Other then Sarmad, the roles like Saba Qamar, Nadia Afghan, Sawaira Nadeem & Mahira khan showed a true potential that u can show even when the role is short. The role of Sania Saeed as Manto's wife was the cherry on top.

U may not get masala ingredients and Item numbers to make it a blockbuster but Movies like MANTO restores your faith in Pakistani Cinema.

Yeah, we are rising.

A must must watch.

A must see biography for mature audience brilliantly portrayed by Sarmad Sultan Khoosat .Perfomances by all actors were excellent, beautiful directions and editing backed up by a very relevant and soulful musical score. Combo of Baber Javed and Sarmad were at their best.Such a sensitive subject was handled with amazing grace without including any vulgarity in the screen play. Script of the movie is very tightly written and well executed. In the history of Pakistani cinema this is the best biography ever made. Title track and "Mehram Dilan De" were beautifully and very artistically executed. The movie is a complete work of art . Movie viewers will experience a roller coaster of emotions through out the movie. The galaxy of Pakistani TV stars were outstanding. Short stories of Manto were beautifully infused in the script. All and all it was a mesmerizing experience which was never seen before, Highly recommended (5 Stars)
