I Watched this Movie with High Hopes and believed it would be a Good Movie.But My Hopes were crushed as it was one of the worst movies I had ever seen in Cinema.But what would you expect from a Pakistani Movie anyways.Pakistan Cinema is Too stale the Movies they make have depressing story lines,majority of them related to Extremism and issues related to Sufferings and Rights of Women in Pakistan.Now a Common Pakistani who already has no Real Entertainment besides Cinema would want to go to a Cinema to have a few Laughs and leave it with a Cinema,but movies like these make him Depressed .Dukhtar has a week plot,Very Poor Average Acting and not good Music.Plus the Camera work and Editing has been done in a very school boy manner.
too often I end up going to cinema watching a Hollywood movie you pay £10 for and its rubbish. Dukhtar barely made any noise in Marketing when it came out, I had to go find out the details myself, but its a gem. Part of "the new wave of Pakistani Cinema", this movie along with others like Waar, Bol and Khuda ke liyeh are making a name and quality niche for Pakistan's film industry. It seems to have been released in very small circulation in the UK as Pakistani films are not always in demand, but I highly recommend everyone to watch it. If like me you like movies with different stories, not the usual bollywood dance and dishoom trash, this should be your next movie. It appeals as it's a very Pakistani story and one that opens a door to world about women's lives in Pakistan.If you are thinking about watching a movie, don't miss this one.
I was waiting for this movie. I thought that this will be the movie as Shermeen Oboid Chenoi speaks of this. But to be honest it is disappointing on all fronts. On top of that it is more disappointing that it is send as official nominee in Academy Awards from Pakistan for Foreign movie.No plot, direction as week (one can live with that as it is the first offering from Aafia but it is bad, real bad) and it all makes no sense whatsoever. Story wanders abruptly with turning points so wayward that towards end it lost all.There is no acting. A real waste of all the big names in movie. Also, casting could have been better.The only positive was the music. Specially the song from Rahat is really Good. And that is all about it. Note: Save your time and watch something good.
Beautiful & Colorful Movie. Specially the Natural Beauty of Northern Areas of Pakistan makes it a treat for the eyes.This can be the best source to Promote the Tourism in Pakistan.with some improvements & proper marketing this movie can be 1000s times better. it has beautiful songs but in movie they are only few seconds long. at some places it becomes slight boring due to lack of background music & sound effects.till now i think its the only choice for Pakistani Nomination for Oscars this yearp.s its not a common commercial type movie, its something like Pakistani TV Drama with a message for everyone.
