Poorly executed - Poorly filmed - Weak story line.


Well first of all i must tell you that i am Pakistani because i am going to speak a bit harsh, so i don't want anyone to think i am Indian or some anti-Pakistan agent.

The film was poorly executed and poorly filmed. The story line was extremely weak and film had serious consistency problems. I had been waiting for this film from a long time, but i must admit that my hopes dashed to ground after watching it. It must not be put under films, rather it is an emotional drama or mini-drama that should be played on TV.

The film is something else, you cannot thrust the spirit of drama into film and expect that as Pakistani directors are great in making drama serials, they would be great in making films.

I found these problems in this drama:

1.Fatima was acting a bit more hysterical rather than being natural.
2.The ending was a total slap punch in the Concept of this film, she started a coup and when she got free from khan's kidnap, she laid in bed devastated and defeated watching flag of Pakistan with questioning eyes. The questioning eyes though explained many things but what about the effort she was doing.
3.Ok i accept that film was short-budgeted but there are many directors who make master-pieces in short budgets.

The whole concept was to give an inception to people to stand against the tyrant and fight for own rights but film couldn't justify the message as Fatima didn't continue further. The whole idea of this film Josh, that i perceived was making of Khana Ghar. If this was the concept to give a self-sustainable kitchens to slums then it was still poorly executed because film didn't start with that ideology and even till the 3/4th of film this idea was not in power.

I have recently seen Waar and i must say that it was a total crap film, with numerous plot holes and extremely poor story line. If anyone wants to find out the plot holes or absurdities here is my review:

I hope that drama directors don't plunge into this genre, this is entirely different thing.
Over-confidence leads to disasters.
