    What rhe hell did I watch?

    If I had to summarise the movie in one word, I would say it's 'forced.'

    From head to toe, from the establishing shot to the end scene, from action to the placement of songs, everything was forced and outright bad.

    5 minutes into the movie and I knew I had been made. That Shan with all his cynicism about other filmmakers and their tv-like films, with his image of the true film man, had fooled me dearly.

    Who writes such childish dialogues? Who writes such a bad story? It was all so bad that I felt embarrassed that for some foreign cast members, this was their introduction to a Pakistani film.

    It was as if a child directed that movie. A child who had just discovered slow-mo, hand-held camera sequences (or whatever that blurry crap was), and background music. Half the time, the background music was so loud and ill-placed that you won't even hear the dialogues.

    The movie was so ill-planned that Urdu dubbing seemed like an after thought as half the characters were running their lips for English dialogues yet the voice coming out spoke Urdu. Urdu or English, the dialogues was plainly bad.

    The only saving grace for the movie were its songs. Not their placement, not their picturization, but the melodies.

    I am simply surprised that Zarrar is by the same storyteller who, in past, has given us a film like Zilleh Shah. Shan needs to stop directing himself because he isn't doing himself any favors there.

    Man, the potential the idea had, yet...

    Slick cinematography with strong storyline

    Watched the Movie yesterday in full house.

    Loved the cinematography and was pleasantly surprised with an engaging story that kept the interest.

    Music and Sings could have been better and Shaan needs to work on them in future endeavors.

    The heroine although a newcomer has performed strongly against a seasoned actor like Shaan.

    The Villains are also good.

    Investment done on foreign talent and technology can do wonders for the movie and overall Pakistani cinema history.

    With Maula Jatt, and then Zarrar, it seems Pakistani cinema is standing up strongly. Looking forward to more of such entertaining packages.

    BEST MOVIE AND BEST ACTOR

    The best movie ever seen! Worth-full to watch but original print. Patriotism is a virtue that is often overlooked in today's world, but it is a quality that should be celebrated and appreciated. A patriotic person is someone who loves their country deeply and is willing to make sacrifices for the greater good of their nation. They possess a strong sense of loyalty, devotion, and commitment to their country, and their actions reflect their unwavering dedication to serving and protecting their homeland.

    One of the most admirable qualities of a patriotic person is their sense of duty and responsibility towards their country. They understand that the well-being and prosperity of their nation are intricately tied to their own well-being, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to see their country thrive. Whether it is serving in the military, volunteering in their community, or actively participating in the political process, a patriotic person is always looking for ways to make a positive impact and contribute to the betterment of their country.

    In Zardad movie the actor Shaan possess a deep sense of pride in their Pakistan's history, culture, and achievements. They celebrate the traditions and values that make his nation unique and special, and he is quick to defend and protect the heritage that has been passed down to him from previous generations. Patriotic people understand that their country's past is what has shaped its present and will determine its future, and they take it upon themselves to ensure that this legacy is preserved and honored.

    A patriotic person is also someone who is deeply grateful for the freedoms and opportunities that their country affords them. They understand that the rights and liberties they enjoy are not to be taken for granted, and they appreciate the sacrifices that have been made by previous generations to secure these privileges. They are always mindful of the fact that there are many people around the world who are not as fortunate as they are, and they are committed to upholding and defending the values of freedom, equality, and justice that their country stands for.

    Another admirable trait of a patriotic person is their willingness to stand up for what they believe in, even in the face of adversity. They are not afraid to speak out against injustice, corruption, or tyranny, and they are always willing to fight for the values and principles that they hold dear. They understand that true patriotism requires courage and conviction, and they are not afraid to take a stand for what is right, no matter the personal cost.

    Finally, a patriotic person is someone who inspires and motivates others to also be proud and loyal to their country. Their passion and enthusiasm for their homeland are contagious, and they have a natural ability to rally people around a common cause or goal. They are true leaders who lead by example, and they inspire others to follow in their footsteps and make a positive impact on their country and the world.

    In conclusion, patriotic individuals are truly deserving of our admiration and appreciation. Their unwavering love, loyalty, and commitment to their country are qualities that we should all strive to emulate. They are the backbone of any nation, and their selfless dedication to serving and protecting their homeland should not go unnoticed. So let us take a moment to truly appreciate and celebrate the patriotic individuals in our lives and in our communities, for they are the true heroes and role models of our society.

    Poor cinematography, bad acting, and same old generic BS storyline

    Bad script, bad acting, voice and lips weren't matching. Bad editing. Same generic story line. Don't know how Shaan Shahid, who claims to be a veteran and seasoned actor, gave the go-ahead after watching the final cut.

    Please go and watch "Zero Dark Thirty" or "Body of Lies" or "Argo" to see how a spy movie should be. One hour of the movie should've not been there. Made no sense. Kiran Malik - bad acting. Waste of time.

    In a genre like this, you don't need to force any romance. He's less of a spy and more of a model, with those aviators. Terrible depiction of a intelligence officer/operative. One man on a unrealistic killing spree. Unnecessary gore and splitting of veins and worst of all, unbelievable action sequences.

    Seems like ego gets in the way or learning and self-improvement.

    Below Average

    Well after success of Maula jutt there were some more expectations from Zarar which it fails to deliver. There were so many flaws in this film .Loud sound on unnecessary scenes was awful. Heroine didn't act well although she had nice bottom figure. Romance was forced into tense scenes. Songs placement were wrong! The only good thing in movie was Shan itself he looked stunning at big screen but direction isn't his cup of tea i guess .Moreover lead actress didn't do justice with her role. Other than that repetitions of dialogue caused frustration .

    There wasn't any twist in movie it was straight forward .I suggest you to not waste money on it unless you are die hard fan of shan!
