    It's a Karachi-based crime drama

    I have very low expectations for this movie, but I am very surprised by this! Theatre was in hoots during some of the scenes and amazing direction every element of this movie is prefect. Laal Kabootar will make you regain your faith in Pakistani cinema.

    Action Packed suspense like no other Pakistani Film

    I'm stoked why can't you give a half star rating to a film here. Because if that was the case I would've given it 9.5 / 10 . Its definately something new and fresh to come out of Pakistani cinema . I think our people are not used to films like these but truely it was a perfect blend of action , drama , suspense , thriller all topped with a great soundtrack. Definately must watch

    Full suspense Action Packed Drama

    Nice to see Pakistan cinema revive. Overall very good movie. Director has done a great job. Actors were also good. I think a must watch. It would be great if there was no censorship of curses...

    Excellent Direction.

    The movie was just about to make me emotional over the POLICE, but that it is also a horrible fact "What is that uniform for".

    Best Pakistani movie ever?

    Never seen any movies as well produced, Pakistani or Indian. Simple story about street crimes, corrupt police, and land/building mafia. Gripping screen play and dialogues. Great acting and photography. Music a bit loud at times. A lot of violence. May be should be PG. Rashid Farooqi and Saleem Meraj unbelievably strong performances. Both Ali Akbar and Mansha Pasha also very creduble performances.
