      Simply Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

      MEIN PUNJAB NAHIN JAON GEE…………. (8.0/10)

      is not one of those usual romantic films. The clash of cultures, the widening gap between parents and kids, MPNJG tackles it all. At the same time, it evokes some serious feelings at vital points in the story. The movie from its first scene till end is a sure cinematic beauty , as for as camera work is concerned. A top notch cinematography captures a outclass beauty of PUNJAB. Story on the front look seems to be a light comedy but underneath the skin of comics some real story unfolds explaining some very serious issue of our culture in a light but also in a serious manner. The story is about HS and MH, where HS is a typical feudal lord of Punjab while MH , cousin is a western oriented girl comes from London after completing her study. Two distinct cultures having their own flavors come together with a twist. Entry of Wasay in the movie makes story interesting . Apart of great camera work , dialogues also stands out, some serious lines along with some taunting comics really creates a nice combo for any movie goer. After JPNA , Humayun Saeed along with the director Nadeem Baig has done another marvelous job. Both of them needs a pat on their backs. Good music , nice story and a serious message definitely makes MPNJG one of the finest movies from south Asia. From acting everyone delivers a great performance. HS does really proves his acting skills , MH well really a great actor she is, Hurwa Hoccane also plays her role very well, Azfar Rehman (Wasay ) is also very decent, all the supporting cast are simply brilliant. Ahmed Ali Butt I think was underutilized. Some great nice dialogues, a serious underpinning message wrapped in a comedy makes MPNJG definitely highly recommended movie to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go and watch this movie to HELP our cinema!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      The movie was good, actually way more better then what i expected from the trailer and the reviews. With certain flaws but still the movie keeps you glued to the chairs and entertains you.

      Mehwish stole the show i mean she actually seem so real with ups and downs of the story. The stiffness, firmness of her character, how provocative a girl can be and truely a stunning beauty is she, is everything the character asked for. Hamayun was good but he actually didnt adopted the character of a punjabi feudal, overall he was average. Remaining whole cast Ahmed Ali butt, Mawra hocane, they all were good but Sohail ahmed was far more better then even the veteran actors like Saba or Waseem. Movie starts with a good pace from the villages of punjab, continues its journey with a few speed humps of a few disputes but again the stride continues; embedded with emotions, betrayel and certain comedy punches. Unpredictablilty was the core element of the movie i guess, because at certain points the movie was so smooth, it seemed like next thing will be the credits but then again a strike and the movie takes you to another turn.

      What i didnt liked about the movie was the lenght of the movie was more then it needed. Culture of Punjab was literally ignored and music could habe been better.

      As our industry rose from the ashes, highly eecommended to everyone, please watch and support.

      Depiction of Social Issues with Elitist Humor

      Punjab Nahi Jaungi (PNJ) one of the best movies ever produced in the history of Pakistan's Film Industry. The movie is not only a source of fun and pleasure but also an indicator to social problems like alcohol consumption, post marital relationships, gender equality and divorce. Apart from this, the character of Bebo Gi, perfectly promotes support for love, for language and for nationalism. However, Mehtab Khagga, the elder of the family, grandfather of Fawad Khagga, is encouraging women empowerment in the country, for a better Pakistan.

      With humor and love, PNJ brings to limelight the social issues and shows inevitability to eradicate social evils.

      Nice movie, enjoyed a lot.

      Nice movie with full of funny dialogues. There was houseful here in Doha Qatar to watch this movie. Enjoyed a lot. Acting of Hummayo Saeed and Sohail alias Sohail is awesome. Never Say "Help Me, Durdana" was my fb status after watching this movie. I have never watched such a good movie in Lollywood. You will enjoy!!!!!!

      A must watch

      I was a little hesitant taking my entire family to watch this movie but the movie came as a total surprise full of comedy, entertainment and delivered some really strong messages. Loved the dresses and songs in the movie. Each and every character justified their role. Dialogue delivery was astounding. I would definitely recommend to all movie lovers to go and watch this delight in cinemas.
