Manto

Manto the movie is a biography of the most controversial writer, for me he was a SLAP on the so called civilized society, which wears cloths but actually naked!!!!! As they are born. Sarmad Sultan Khosat who is he!!!!!! Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins, Amitab, Amir Khan , Peter Jackson, Karan Johar, no he is a Pakistani and he proves with a master stroke, and believe me the topic he chooses for his first movie was difficult, sensitive, controversial, addicted!!!!! It is very difficult to show someone half naked and yet to explain what you really want to tell. Sarmad has done it, just like 2 great deliveries of Sshoiab in Calcutta Test vs India, when he bowled Tendulker and Dravid , Stunned!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same is the case with Manto the movie. Oscar goes to Sarmad for his brilliant acting, in some scenes literally sarmad shakes you from toe to head. MANTO explains the short stories by the Manto, what ever Manto wrote was a hard bitter truth , Manto was confused, selfish, addicted but a man who exposed the real face of Civilized society. Sarmad has done his character with such a class that really overshadows all the other characters, in the movie. When movie starts you see Manto and when ends you remember Manto only. You will love Manto , you will hate Manto but you cannot ignore him. This is the beauty of the film. Pakistan cinema has definitely being turnaround and what a great come back it is, its getting better day by day, with Manto the bar has raised more higher. Sarmad graduated from NCA Lahore clearly depicts the brand name and the brilliant artistic value of NCA. So in nutshell it's a hard hitting movie, very complex and hard to digest, but in fact a naked reality which will remain in this universe till the universe remains. Tum kitna Manto maaro gay her ghar se Manto nikla ga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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)

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 is intense & dark just as his life and his stories were. It is a set of nicely arranged stories that he wrote running simultaneously with the incidents occurred to him in his life. The most important thing about this biopic is that it has all the spice for those who know ‪#‎MANTO‬ already and for those who have read him using the wide spectrum of intellect and it has NOTHING for those who don't have anything to do with reading or watching hard hitting written materials and the people who pen down such pieces. So no problem if you are the one who is looking for a power packed fun package, go for something else. There are many other movies being shown and they are looking fine too. Lastly, just one thing to say, hats off to ‪#‎Sarmad‬ & team for such a brilliant piece of work.

Manto is first in many ways : life sketch, characterization ,soul-ful depiction of an era ,editing,background score ,& Manto's ethos blended with the pangs of partition,migration & social dis-array have been exhibited in a manner which was hitherto unknown to our cinema. Sarmad deserves a continuous applause for his strength & delicacy at the same time .he brings out the pathos so efficiently that the audience do not realise their minds turning into souls & realising that they have been served with a master-piece . The scene in which Manto's wife lights up a cigeratte for him actually leads to a performance by Sarmad which can be compared with any great performance on the screen.Such a great work has yet not been delivered by the Indian cinema which is rich in experiment & resources. Sarmad & his team have treated us with an artistic vision & presentation.HATS OFF TO THE TEAM OF MANTO !
