Since, the trailer of a new release ‘BALU MAHI’ wasn’t exceptional, still went to watch it.

Balu Mahi has been directed by Haissam Hussain. Balu MahiA Movie Review Revival of Pakistani cinema has evolved and some exceptional work has hit the viewers. Will we sit and watch the really long film once again? Probably not. Balu Mahi review: Paisa vasool but stretches too long. However, one still has to wonder if the film will actually manage to stay afloat with some tough Bollywood competition in the cinemas.Īll in all, the film may have its ups and downs, but it seems the fault does not lie within the actors, but the narrative, which could have been so much more than the glitzy kitsch it ended up being. That being said, the glitz is what kept the audience entertained despite the narrative’s lack of connectivity.ĭespite all that seems wrong with the film, Balu Mahi will work well due to two factors: a) The fact that no one can resist the charm OKB has on his fans and haters alike, and b) the film is a welcome respite from the previous slump of Pakistani films, which made people stop going to the cinemas. In what started off so promising, quickly ended up becoming a rehash of (and we hate to say this) Bollywood. In all of its true sense, the film ends up confused between what it wants in a lot of places, where forced drama, equally confusing moments of conflict, and dance sequences come in (we were already done when we saw Jaffri in a Snow White inspired garb). Although her role as Sharmeen was no short of being just a sexy siren in the narrative added to create sexual overtones in the film, Kanwal does justice to what she has been offered, for which she definitely deserves applause. Nonetheless, the actor still manages to turn on his charismatic charm, much to his credit.Īpart from the pairing of Jaffri and Butt, the inclusion of model-turned-actress Sadaf Kanwal in her debut was also something that didn’t go unnoticed.

Although unfortunate, it became slightly obvious that while Butt has tried his best in the past to get out of the chocolate hero archetype, the film put the final nail in the coffin for anything but such roles for him. However, the same cannot be said about their individual acting skills, which remained weak in the first half, and only grew a few points post-intermission. The film story revolves around these three actors. The film is starring Ainy Jaffri, Osman Khalid Butt and Sadaf Kanwal in leading roles. That being said, both Jaffri and Butt manage to hold their own with impeccable chemistry as the film goes on. Balu Mahi Review By sadafjabeen - Balu Mahi is an upcoming Pakistani film which will be releasing on 10th February 2017. However, the 3-hour long film ends up regurgitating a lot of clichéd moments one after another. Narrating the lives of the eponymous Balu (Osman Khalid Butt) and Mahi (Ainy Jaffri), the film directed by Haissam Hassan, takes us on a 360-degree journey of accidental meet-ups, a love-hate relationship, family drama,  a proclamation of love, and a slow return to reality, all packed with some beautiful shots of Hunza and Shandur. Such was the example yesterday when the much-awaited Balu Mahi premiered in Karachi with all of its glitz and glamour, but with no soul. However, often times the glitter may still shine on the veneer, but it remains of no value. Till Mahi gets cheated and caught, the two explore the city and get to know each other better.They say that all that glitters is not gold and to a very large extent that serves true. The scene was so inappropriate and distasteful that we'd rather not even talk about it. So, in between the whole chase where Mahi's family is hunting for her and she's trying to run away comes Jawed Sheikh's unnecessary cameo. Now Bollywood similarity number 1 Mahi is the free-spirited Geet from Jab We Met and Balu is the heart broken Aditya, but since we love the characters so much, we did not seem to mind! There's nothing wrong with a little inspiration, right? Besides, when has Bollywood been entirely original either?Ĭoming back to the movie, Mahi is all about adventure and freedom, and Balu just wants to get rid of her.

While he is confused, she is only happy for the accidental rescue. Not knowingly he becomes her prince charming, and like they say, "sometimes blessings come when you least expect them",well, that's exactly what happens for Mahi. Balu Mahi review: Paisa vasool but stretches too long There hasn’t been a successful Pakistani film so far in 2017, noted Cinepax General Manager Marketing Mohsin Yaseen. The movie starts with Balu (OKB) crashing the wrong wedding and giving Mahi (Ainy) the perfect escape.
