Namaloom Afraad... Movie Review by Shoby...

3 stars out of 5...

Pakistani film industry is going through a revival phase and new talent is doing quite a good hardwork to give new blood to the industry. They are experimenting with various ideas to give audience right dose of entertainment. Namaloom Afraad is one of these attempts. Its a tale of 3 characters, living in the city of terror, hunger and strikes (which was once said to be city of lights) Karachi. It tells, how common man has to fight with the ongoing conditions to make their big dreams come true.

First thing first, please dont compare it with bollywood or hollywood cinema. If u judge it making other industries the benchmark, u'll never enjoy it. Its a cinema of its own kind.

It has a v interesting script with a beautiful screenplay. Although, a bit dragged, but as a viewer, u stick to the screen right till the end. Every actor is phenomenal, esp Fahad, Javed Sheikh n Mohsin have done commendable job.

Bg score of the movie was on target and it beautifuly goes with the proceedings. Soundtrack could have been much better.

Length of the film is a bit stretched. Editing should have been a bit crispier. Cinematography is digestable showing inner parts of Karachi in a good manner.

Overall, its a very good attempt at situational comedy and almost succeeds in managing what it was supposed to do. Its a much watch for its sheer simplicity and relavance of society.
